We show that by adding a single new scalar particle to the Standard Model, a TeV-scale leptoquark with the quantum numbers of a right-handed down quark, one can explain in a natural way three of the most striking anomalies of particle…

Leptoquarks (LQs) have been extensively studied in the context of $B$ anomalies. When $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ is introduced to a scalar LQ model with the LQ $S_1$ charged under the new symmetry, $S_1$ primarily couples to the third-generation…

Several experiments have measured a deviation in $B\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic decays, that point to new physics at the TeV scale violating lepton flavor universality. A scalar leptoquark $S_1$, with a suitable structure of couplings in…

We show that a simple extension of the Standard Model involving the introduction of vector-like quarks and heavy neutrinos, provides an explanation of the so called B-anomalies in $b\to s\ell\bar\ell$ transitions. Vector-like quarks can…

We develop an economical theoretical framework for combined explanations of the flavor physics anomalies involving muons: $(g-2)_\mu$, $R_{K^{(*)}}$, and $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ angular distributions and branching ratios, that was first…

The collection of a few anomalies in semileptonic $B$-decays invites to speculate about the emergence of some strikingly new phenomena. Here we offer a possible interpretation of these anomalies in the context of a weakly broken $U(2)^5$…

Several experiments revealed intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating new physics (NP) in semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays, mainly in $b \to c \tau \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions at the $3-5\,\sigma$…

Motivated by the recent LHCb announcement of a $3.1\sigma$ violation of lepton-flavor universality in the ratio $R_K=\Gamma(B\to K\mu^+\mu^-)/\Gamma(B\to K e^+ e^-)$, we present an updated, comprehensive analysis of the flavor anomalies…

The Standard Model, if extended to the energy scale of $\mathcal{O}(1)$ TeV, the known particle spectrum could be augmented with a scalar leptoquark. Within this minimally extended framework, explaining the anomalous magnetic moment and…

We propose a new class of $U(1)_{\mu-\tau}$ gauged model that can explain recent flavor anomalies such as muon $g-2$, $b\to s\mu^+ \mu^-$, as well as include a scalar dark matter candidate while satisfying all the phenomenological…

The measured branching fractions of $B$-mesons into leptonic final states derived by the LHCb collaboration hint towards the breakdown of lepton flavour universality. In this work we take at face value the so-called $R_{D^{(*)}}$…

We suggest three scalar leptoquarks, $S_1$, ${\tilde R}_2$, and $S_3$ which couple exclusively to the 3rd generation of leptons to explain the $B$ anomalies. The scalar singlet $S_1$ can explain $R(D^{(*)})$, while the doublet ${\tilde…

The $3.1\sigma$ $R_K$ anomaly after Moriond 2021 and $3.3 \sigma$ $\Delta a_\mu$ from Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment implicate that the lepton flavor universality violation (LFUV) may play a role in the exploration of new physics. A Flavor…

Significant deviations from Standard Model (SM) predictions have been observed in $ b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays and in the muon $g-2$. Scalar leptoquark extensions of the SM are known to be able to address these anomalies, but generically…

Leptoquarks have been suggested to solve a variety of discrepancies between the expected and observed phenomenon. In this paper, we show that the scalar doublet Leptoquark with Hypercharge 7/6 can simultaneously explain the recent…

There has been persistent disagreement between the Standard Model (SM) prediction and experimental measurements of $R_{D^{(*)}}=\mathcal{B}(\bar B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \bar\nu_\tau)/\mathcal{B}(\bar B \rightarrow D^{(*)} l \bar\nu_l)$…

One of the most important discoveries in particle physics is the observation of nonzero neutrino masses, which dictates that the Standard Model (SM) is incomplete. Moreover, several pieces of evidence of lepton flavor universality violation…

Leptoquarks with masses between 2 TeV and 50 TeV are commonly invoked to explain deviations between data and Standard-Model (SM) predictions of several observables in the decays $b\to c\tau \bar\nu$ and $b\to s \ell^+\ell^-$ with…

In this talk, we discuss a simplified version of a recently proposed twin Pati-Salam (PS) theory of flavour broken to the $G_{4321}$ gauge group at high energies, then to the Standard Model at low energies, yielding a TeV scale vector…

In recent years, evidence for lepton flavour universality violation beyond the Standard Model has been accumulated. In this context, a singly charged $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar ($\phi^\pm$) is very interesting, as it can only have flavour…
