An anomaly observed recently in the $^8$Be nuclear transition by the Atomki collaboration hints at a weakly-coupled, light new gauge boson with a mass of about $17$ MeV. In this paper, we propose that this new gauge boson comes from a…
We consider $U(1)_H$ extensions of Type-I 2HDM plus a singlet scalar $\phi_H$, introducing a new Higgs doublet $H_2$ and a singlet $\phi_H$ charged under $U(1)_H$. The SM Higgs doublet $H_1$ as well as all the SM fermions and three…
We revisit the gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ explanation of the ATOMKI nuclear anomalies, in which the new gauge boson is the hypothetical $X(17)$ particle. It is known that the vanilla $B-L$ scenario is unable to account for appropriate couplings,…

We explain the ATOMKI anomaly with a very light $Z'$ state that features non-anomalous and non-flavour-universal vector and axial-vector couplings to all leptons. This $Z'$ comes from a theoretical framework with a spontaneously broken…
A new heavy $Z'$ vector boson provides a possible explanation for the neutral current B anomalies and points to the scale where we expect the solution to the hierarchy problem to appear. In this paper, we explore a modified Top Seesaw model…

In recent years, the ATOMKI collaboration has performed a series of measurements of excited nuclei, observing a resonant excess of electron-positron pairs at large opening angles compared to the Standard Model prediction. The excess has…

The mass and weak interaction eigenstates for the quarks of the third generation are very well aligned, an empirical fact for which the Standard Model offers no explanation. We explore the possibility that this alignment is due to an…
