Lepton non-universality in B decays and fermion mass structure (original) (raw)
Journal of High Energy Physics
We consider the possibility that the neutral-current B anomalies are due to radiative corrections generated by Yukawa interactions of quarks and leptons with new vector-like quark and lepton electroweak doublets and new Standard Model singlet scalars. We show that the restricted interactions needed can result from an underlying Abelian family symmetry and that the same symmetry can give rise to an acceptable pattern of quark and charged lepton masses and mixings, providing a bridge between the non-universality observed in the B-sector and that of the fermion mass matrices. We construct two simple models, one with a single singlet scalar in which the flavour changing comes from quark and lepton mixing and one with an additional scalar in which the flavour changing can come from both fermion and scalar mixing. We show that for the case the new quarks are much heavier than the new leptons and scalars the B anomalies can be due to box diagrams with couplings in the perturbative regime c...

Low-energy effects of Lepton Flavour Universality Violation
Journal of High Energy Physics
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 New Physics effects are encoded in the Wilson coefficient C 9, as favoured by global fit analyses of b → s data. We find that also in this case the stringent experimental bounds on Z-pole observables and τ decays challenge a simultaneous explanation of charged and neutral-current non-standard data.
A 331 Model for Lepton Flavor Universality Violation in B Decays
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2021
Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in B decays in both neutral b → sl+l− and charged b → clν̄l processes observed in the ratios RK(∗) and RD(∗) is investigated in the framework of a model based on the extended symmetry gauge SU(3)C ⊗ SU(3)L ⊗ 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 of this model in accommodating the model-independent scenarios currently favored by global fits.
