Abstract

Recent experimental results from the LHCb, BaBar and Belle collaborations on the semitauonic decays of $B$ meson, $\bar{B}\rightarrow D^{(\ast)}\tau \bar{\nu}$, showing a significant deviation from the Standard Model (SM), hint towards a new physics scenario beyond the SM. In this work, we show that these enhanced decay rates can be explained within the framework of $E_{6}$ motivated Alternative Left-Right Symmetric Model (ALRSM), which has been successful in explaining the recent CMS excesses and has the feature of accommodating high scale leptogenesis. The R-parity conserving couplings in ALRSM can contribute universally to both $\bar{B}\rightarrow D \tau \bar{\nu}$ and $\bar{B}\rightarrow D^{(\ast)}\tau \bar{\nu}$ via the exchange of scalar leptoquarks. We study the leptonic decays $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow \tau^{+} \bar{\nu}$, $B^{+}\rightarrow \tau^{+} \bar{\nu}$, $D^{+}\rightarrow \tau^{+} \bar{\nu}$ and $D^{0}$-$\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing to constrain the couplings involved in explaining the enhanced $B$ decay rates and we find that ALRSM can explain the current experimental data on $\mathcal{R}(D^{(\ast)})$ quite well while satisfying these constraints.
