Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ processes is investigated in the context of a 331 model. It is shown that in order to explain the experimentally observed deviations from the Standard Model in these FCNC transitions, a non-minimal version of the model has to be considered. We investigate the ability of this model in accomodating the model-independant scenarios currently favored by global fits.
In the framework of the 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons, we have investigated the lepton-flavor-violating sources based on the Higgs mass spectrum which has two neutral Higgses identitied with corresponding ones in the Two-Higgs-Doublet model (THDM). On the $13~\mathrm{TeV}$ scale of the LHC, we point out the parameter space regions where the experimental limits of $e_i \rightarrow e_jγ$ decays are satisfied. These regions depend heavily on the mixing of exotic leptons but are predicted to have large $h^0_1\rightarrow μτ$ signals. We also show that $\mathrm{Br}(h^0_1\rightarrow μτ)$ can reach…
We show that the observed anomalies in the lepton sector can be explained in extensions of the Standard Model that are natural and, therefore, resolve the Higgs sector hierarchy problem. The scale of new physics is around the TeV and Technicolor-like theories are ideal candidate models.
In this paper, we consider the Standard Model (SM) with one family of vector-like (VL) leptons, which couple to all three families of the SM leptons. We study the constraints on this model coming from the heavy charged lepton mass bound, electroweak precision data, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, lepton flavor violation, Higgs decay constraints and a recently measured lepton non-universality observable, $R_{K^{*0}}$. We find that the strongest constraints are coming from the muon $g-2, \ R_{μμ}=Γ(h\toμμ)/Γ(h\toμμ)_\text{SM}, \ R_{γγ}$ and $\text{BR}(μ\to eγ)$. Although VL leptons couple to…
Supersymmetric Grand Unification and Lepton Universality in K-> l νDecays
受CERN NA 62实验对K -> l ν衰变轻子普适性检验的改进前景的启发，我们研究了超对称模型中K -> l ν衰变轻子非普适性的预言.在这个过程中，μ-e普适性的违反可能源于右手slepton扇区的混合效应，这为大\tan β区域的超对称味道物理学提供了一个独特的窗口。在大统一尺度下，具有普适软超光速破缺项的最小统一方案将预测轻子普适性的破坏可以忽略不计。然而，轻子的非普适性可以在非最小的大统一模型中观察到，高维项对费米子质量有贡献，在这种情况下，高于GUT尺度的重整化效应可能会增强右手轻子之间的混合。这可能导致在具有高\tan β、大A项和小带电希格斯玻色子玻色子质量的参数空间的特定区域中，在K -> l ν衰变中可观察到轻子非普适性。在K -> l ν衰变中，可观测到的非普适性与大的BR值（τ-> e γ）相关。电子电偶极矩的实验上限可以与稀薄发生相调和，如果后者发生在相对较低的尺度上，这也将缓解宇宙学引力子问题。即使轻子的非普适性在不久的将来不会被发现，人们仍然可以获得对模型参数的重要约束，以及右手费米子和sfermion混合的未知方面。
In high energy exclusive processes involving leptons, QED corrections can be sensitive to infrared scales like the lepton mass and the soft photon energy cut, resulting in large logarithms that need to be resummed to all order in $α$. When considering the ratio of the exclusive processes between two different lepton flavors, the ratio $R$ can be expressed in terms of factorized functions in the decoupled leptonic sectors. While some of the functional terms cancel, there remain the large logarithms due to the lepton mass difference and the energy cut. This factorization process can be universal…
We discuss the current status of lepton flavour universality observables in semileptonic charged and neutral current $B$ meson decays. We recapitulate the current experimental situation. Assuming the current tensions with the SM are of beyond the Standard Model origin we present their implications for the effective theory couplings. Then we discuss general leptoquark models before finally focussing on the model with two scalar leptoquarks ($R_2$ and $S_3$) which have couplings connected by the underlying Grand Unified Theory framework. We present the viability of the model with regard to lepto…
We investigate whether the $2.6σ$ deviation from lepton flavour universality in $B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays recently observed at the LHCb experiment can be explained in minimal composite Higgs models. We show that a visible departure from universality is indeed possible if left-handed muons have a sizable degree of compositeness. Constraints from $Z$-pole observables are avoided by a custodial protection of the muon coupling. The deficit in the invisible $Z$ width at LEP is explained in the same region of parameters.
A properly defined and suitably broken $U(2)$ flavour symmetry leads to successful quantitative relations between quark mass ratios and CKM angles. At the same time the intrinsic distinction introduced by $U(2)$ between the third and the first two families of quarks and leptons may support anomalies in charged and neutral current semi-leptonic $B$-decays of the kind tentatively observed in current flavour experiments. We show how this is possible by the exchange of the $(3,1)_{2/3}$ vector leptoquark in two $U(2)$-models with significantly different values of Lepton Flavour Universality violat…
In the framework of the flipped 3-3-1 model introduced recently [1], the lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) decay $μ\rightarrow 3e$ was predicted to have a large branching ratio (Br) close to the recent experimental limit. We will show that the Br of LFV decays of the standard-model-like (SM-like) Higgs boson decays (LFVHD) Br$(h\rightarrow e_ae_b)$ may also be large. Namely, the Br$(h\rightarrow μτ,eτ)$ can reach values of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-4})-\mathcal{O}(10^{-5})$, which will reach the upcoming experimental sensitivities. On the other hand, for LFV decays of charged leptons (cLFV) $(e_b\rightarr…
We study a model with partial quark-lepton universality that can naturally arise in grand unified theories. We find that constraints on the model can be reduced to a single condition on the Dirac CP phase $δ$ in the neutrino sector. Using our current knowledge of the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices, we predict $-32.4^\circ < δ< 32.0^\circ$ at $2σ$.
We consider the $ν$MSM which is an extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale, in which the origins of neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the universe are simultaneously explained. Among three heavy neutral leptons, $N_2$ and $N_3$, which are responsible to the seesaw mechanism of active neutrino masses and the baryogenesis via flavor oscillation, can induce sizable contributions to various lepton universality in decays of charged mesons. It is then investigated the possible deviations of the universality in the $ν…
We present Standard Model predictions for lepton flavour universality ratios of inclusive $B\to X_{(c)} \ell \barν_\ell$. For the $\ell=μ,e$, these ratios are very close to unity as expected. For the $τ$ mode, we update the SM prediction for the branching ratio including power-corrections in the heavy-quark expansion up to $1/m_b^3$. These inclusive ratios serve as an important cross-check of the exclusive $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\barν_\ell$ modes, in which tensions exists between the predictions and measurements in those modes.
Semileptonic $b \rightarrow s\ell \ell$ processes constitute a good probe for new physics phenomena: new particles contributing to the loops could affect branching fractions and angular distributions, and have different couplings to different lepton families, thus violating lepton flavour universality. Recent results from the LHCb experiment are reviewed.
Implications of lepton flavor universality violations in B decays
目前对b->c tau nu和b->u tau nu跃迁的测量结果与标准模型对轻子味普适性的预测相差近4 σ。我们研究新的物理解释这种异常。一个有效场论分析表明，最小的味道违反模型不是首选的解释，但也尚未排除。考虑到一般的味违反，右-右矢量和右-左标量夸克流被确定为可行的候选者。我们讨论了两个希格斯双重模型，leptoquarks以及夸克和轻子复合明确的例子。最后，对LHC的搜索和未来的测量（超级）B-工厂的影响。
Recently, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations reported the latest experimental upper limits on the branching ratios of the lepton flavor violating (LFV) 125 GeV Higgs boson decays, $h\rightarrow eμ$, $h\rightarrow eτ$, and $h\rightarrow μτ$. In this paper, we mainly investigate the LFV Higgs boson decays $h\rightarrow eμ$, $h\rightarrow eτ$, and $h\rightarrow μτ$ in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with local $\emph{B-L}$ gauge symmetry. At the same time, the corresponding constraints from the LFV rare decays $μ\rightarrow eγ$, $τ\rightarrow eγ$, $τ\rightarrow μγ$, and m…
We describe a possibility to explain the $2.6σ$ deviation from lepton flavour universality observed by the LHCb collaboration in $B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays in the context of minimal composite Higgs models. We find that a sizable degree of compositeness of partially composite muons can lead to a good agreement with the experimental data. Our construction predicts a new physics contribution to $B_s$-$\bar{B}_s$ mixing. Additionally, it accounts for the deficit in the invisible $Z$ width measured at LEP.
$U(1)_X$SSM is the extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and its local gauge group is $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$. We study lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays $Z\rightarrow{{l_i}^{\pm}{l_j}^{\mp}}$($Z\rightarrow eμ$, $Z\rightarrow eτ$, and $Z\rightarrow μτ$) and $h\rightarrow{{l_i}^{\pm}{l_j}^{\mp}}$($h\rightarrow eμ$, $h\rightarrow eτ$, and $h\rightarrow μτ$), in this model. In the numerical results, the branching ratios of $Z\rightarrow{{l_i}^{\pm}{l_j}^{\mp}}$ are from $10^{-9}$ to $10^{-13}$ and the branching ratios of $h\rightarrow{{l_i}^{…
We study the model with three right-handed neutrinos which masses are smaller than the weak scale ${\cal O}(10^2)$ GeV (called as the $ν$MSM). The model can explain the origin of neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism, offer a candidate of dark matter and realize the baryogenesis via neutrino oscillation. The seesaw mechanism at such energy scales can induce phenomenon which are observable by experiments. As an example, we discuss the lepton universality of charged kaon decays in this model. It is shown that the heavy neutral leptons accounting for the neutrino masses and the cosmic baryon as…
最近观测到的MNS混合矩阵的轻子混合角$θ_{13}$很好地结合在夸克和轻子扇区之间的普遍混合假设中。这个假设断言，在带电轻子对角基中，除了相元之外，上、下型夸克和轻中微子的所有其他质量矩阵都被同一个么正矩阵对角化。对于夸克混合矩阵$V_{CKM}$和轻子混合矩阵$U_{MNS}(δ)$，在唯象水平上表示为$V_{CKM}= U_{MNS}(δ^\prime)^\dagger P U_{MNS}(δ)$。这里，$P$是对角相位质量矩阵。$δ^\prime$是与MNS轻子混合矩阵中狄拉克CP破坏相位$δ=1.1π$（最佳拟合）略有不同的相位参数。
$U(1)_X$SSM is the extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM) and its local gauge group is $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$. To obtain this model, three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed neutrinos are added to MSSM. In the framework of $U(1)_X$SSM, we study lepton flavor violating decays $τ\rightarrow{Pl}(P=π,~η,~η^\prime;~l=μ,~e)$. According to the latest experimental data of $τ\rightarrow{Pe}$ and $τ\rightarrow{Pμ}$, the influence of different sensitive parameters on the results is analyzed to make a reasonable prediction for future experimen…
Even though the LHC searches did not unveil the new physics particles so far, LHCb hints towards deviations from lepton flavor universality in exclusive decays based on the transition $b\to s\ell\ell$. In this proceeding, we present a new leptoquark model that can explain both $R_{K}^{\mathrm{exp}}<R_{K}^{\mathrm{SM}}$ and $R_{K^\ast}^{\mathrm{exp}}<R_{K^\ast}^{\mathrm{SM}}$ via loop effects, consistent with observations made by LHCb. We discuss the main predictions of this scenario that can be tested experimentally, which include the bounds on lepton flavor violating decays $\mathcal{B}(Z\toμ…
Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $B$ decays in both neutral $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ and charged $b\rightarrow cl\barν_{l}$ processes observed in the ratios $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$ is investigated in the framework of a model based on the extended symmetry gauge $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ whose leptonic sector consists of five triplets. It is shown that in order to explain the experimentally observed deviations from the Standard Model in these flavor changing transitions, a non-minimal version of the model has to be considered. We investigate the ability …
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \barν_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an analysis on their $b\rightarrow u \ell \barν_{\ell}$ counterparts (for $\ell=e, ~μ, ~τ$). Our study has three main objectives. Firstly, using ratios of branching fractions, we assess the effects of beyond the Standard Model scalar and pseudoscalar particles in leptonic and semileptonic $B$ decays ($B^-\rightarrow \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$, $\bar{B}\rightarrow π\ell …
Motivated by recent experimental measurements on flavour physics, in tension with Standard Model predictions, we perform an updated analysis of New Physics violating Lepton Flavour Universality, by using the effective Lagrangian approach and in the Z' and S_3 leptoquark models. We explicitly analyze the impact of considering complex Wilson coefficients in the analysis of B-anomalies, by performing a global fit of R_K and R_K*0 observables, together with ΔMs and A_CP^mix. The inclusion of complex couplings provides a slightly improved global fit, and a marginally improved ΔMs prediction.

Muon decays with lepton--number violation via vector leptoquark
本文在Pati-Salam型夸克-轻子对称性$SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$的框架下分析了$μ\rightarrow e γ$、$μ\rightarrow e γγ$和$μ\rightarrow e e \bar e$衰变，其中考虑了夸克-轻子流的混合效应。结果表明，通过矢量轻夸克的$μ\rightarrow e γγ$和$μ\rightarrow e e \bar e$衰变没有GIM型抑制，而$μ\rightarrow e γ$衰变有GIM型抑制.因此，衰变概率的特定层次可能发生$Γ(μ\rightarrow e e \bar e) \gg Γ(μ\rightarrow e γγ) \gg Γ(μ\rightarrow e γ)$。现有的界限矢量leptoquark质量和混合矩阵元素，根据数据的$μe$转换的核和$K_{e 2}$和$K_{μ2}$衰变的比率允许设置的$μ\rightarrow e γγ$衰变的$10^{-18}$和$10^{-15}$的水平上的$μ\rightarrow e e \bar e$ $μ\rightarrow e e \bar e$衰变的分支比的上限。
In this talk I will present the work that we did in \cite{1}\cite{2}\cite{3}\cite{4}\cite{5} related to observed lepton universality violation by Babar, Belle and LHCb in R($D^{(*)}$) and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ as well as the reported deviation in muon (g-2) by BNL. We had shown that all these anomalies as well as Baryon-genesis, Dark-matter and small neutrino masses could be explained by introducing new exotic scalars, leptons and scalar-leptoquarks only. It turn out that some of these models have very peculiar signatures such as prediction of existence of heavy stable charged particle \cite{1}\cite{2…
The evidence for Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) violation in semileptonic $B$-decays has been rising over the past few years. Relying on generic effective field theory (EFT) results, it has been shown that models addressing the $B$-anomalies necessarily lead, at one-loop, to deviations from LFU in $τ$ decays at the few per-mil level. Once a (renormalizable) UV model is specified, the leading-log EFT result receives finite corrections from the matching at the UV scale. We discuss such corrections in a motivated class of models for the B-anomalies, based on an extended $SU(4) \times SU(3) \ti…
Babar, Belle and recently LHCb has reported an excess in the measurements of $R(D^{*})$, $R(D)$ and $\mathcal{B}r(B \rightarrow τν_τ )$ than expected from SM, a possible signature of lepton flavor universality violating NP. In this work we analyze the phenomenological implications for these decay modes in a Flipped/Lepton-Specific 2HDM with anomalously enhanced Yukawa coupling of $H^{\pm}$ to $τ$/b. When experimental and theoretical errors are added in quadrature, we conclude that this phenomenological extension of SM can give results in agreement within 1$σ$ deviation for the combination of $…
In the Standard Model (SM), the coupling of the electroweak gauge bosons to the leptons is lepton flavour universal. Tests of this property constitute sensitive probes for new physics models that violate lepton flavour universality. Recent tests of lepton universality in rare $b\to s\ell\ell$ decays and semileptonic $b\to cτ\barν_τ$ transitions have shown some tensions with the precise SM predictions. These proceedings summarise the latest results on lepton flavour universality from the LHCb experiment.
In this paper we shall focus on the effects of concrete models such as SM and Model III of 2HDM on the polarized and unpolarized forward-backward asymmetries of $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K}_0^{*}(1430) \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\overline{B}\rightarrow \overline{K} \ell^+\ell^-$ decays. The obtained results of these decay modes are compared to each other. Also, we obtain the minimum required number of events for detecting each asymmetry and compare them with the number of produced $B\bar{B}$ pairs at the LHC or supposed to be produced at the Super-LHC. At the end, we conclude that the study o…
We propose improved Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) ratios in semileptonic $P\to V \ell \barν$ decays, when comparing $μ$ and $τ$ modes, that minimize the theoretical form-factor uncertainties. These optimized ratios are obtained with simple cuts or reweighting of the dilepton mass distributions, which imply a minimum loss of signal on the rare tauonic modes while maximizing the cancellation of theoretical uncertainties among the two modes. We illustrate the usefulness of these observables in $B_c\to J/ψ$, $B_c\to ψ(2S)$, $B\to D^\ast$ and $B_s\to D_s^\ast$ transitions, showing that in all ca…
331 models constitute an extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by enlarging the SM gauge group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(2)_\text{L}\times U(1)_Y$ to the group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(3)_\text{L}\times U(1)_X$. We investigate how a non-minimal 331 model may embed lepton flavour universality violating contributions to $b\to s\ell\ell$ processes without introducing lepton flavour violation, as suggested by the recent LHCb measurements of the ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$. We discuss the model-independent scenarios of New Physics in $b\to s\ell\ell$ currently favoured by the data that could …
We analyse the new physics implications of theoretically clean $b \to s$ observables in a model-independent approach and compare their coherence with the implications of other rare $B$-decays. A statistical comparison is done between the New Physics explanation and hadronic contributions as the source of the anomalies in angular observables of the $B\to K^*μμ$ decay. We make projections for future measurements that indicate that LHCb will be in the position to discover lepton non-universality via a single observable using the Run 3 data. The global fit of rare $B$-decays is given within a mult…
Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) processes like $ μ\rightarrow e γ$ are rare decay processes, that are another signature of physics beyond Standard Model (BSM). These processes have been studied in various models, that could explain neutrino oscillations and mixings. In this work, we present bounds on cLFV decay $ μ\rightarrow e γ$ in a $ μ$-$ τ$ symmetric SUSY SO(10) theory, using type I seesaw mechanism. The updated constraints on BR($ μ\rightarrow e γ$) from MEG experiment, recently measured value of Higgs mass at LHC and value of $θ_{13}$ from reactor data have been used. We present …
The persisting anomalous data in semileptonic B-decays point towards New Physics models exhibiting large sources of Lepton Flavour Universality Violation. In this work we generalise previous studies by considering frameworks which include an enlarged set of semileptonic four-fermion operators invariant under the SM gauge group, with New Physics affecting mainly the third generation. We derive the low-energy effective Lagrangian including the leading electroweak corrections, mandatory to obtain reliable predictions. As a particularly interesting case, we analyse the scenario where the dominant …
We present a new class of models of lepton flavor in the composite Higgs framework. Following the concept of minimality, they lead to a rich phenomenology in good agreement with the current experimental picture. Because of a unification of the right-handed leptons, our scenario is very predictive and can naturally lead to a violation of lepton-flavor universality in neutral current interactions. We will show that, in particular, the anomaly in $R_K= {\cal B}(B \to K μ^+ μ^-)/{\cal B}(B \to K e^+ e^-)$, found by LHCb, can be addressed, while other constraints from quark- and lepton-flavor physi…
We study rare four-body decays of the Z-boson involving at least one neutrino and one charged lepton. Large destructive interferences make these decays very sensitive to the Z couplings to neutrinos. As the identified charged leptons can determine the neutrino flavors, these decays probe the universality of the Z couplings to neutrinos. The rare four-body processes could be accurately measured at future lepton colliders, leading to percent level precision.
In view of recent experimental indications of violations of Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) in $B$ decays, we analyze constraints and implications of LFU interactions, both using an effective theory approach, and an explicit dynamical model. We show that a simple dynamical model based on a $SU(2)_L$ triplet of massive vector bosons, coupled predominantly to third generation fermions (both quarks and leptons), can significantly improve the description of present data. In particular, the model decreases the tension between data and SM predictions concerning: i) the breaking of $τ$-$μ$ universal…
