Abstract

We investigate Majorana dark matter in a new variant of $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ gauge extension of Standard Model, where the scalar sector is enriched with an inert doublet and a $(\bar{3},1,1/3)$ scalar leptoquark. We compute the WIMP-nucleon cross section in leptoquark portal and the relic density mediated by inert doublet components, leptoquark and the new $Z^{\prime}$ boson. We constrain the parameter space consistent with Planck limit on relic density, PICO-60 and LUX bounds on spin-dependent direct detection cross section. Furthermore, we constrain the new couplings from the present experimental data on ${\rm Br}(\tau \to \mu \nu_\tau \bar \nu_\mu)$, ${\rm Br}( B \to X_s \gamma)$, ${\rm Br}( B^0 \to K^0 \mu^+ \mu^-)$, ${\rm Br}(B^+ \to K^+ \tau^+ \tau^-)$ and $B_s-\bar{B_s}$ mixing, which occur at one-loop level in the presence of $Z^\prime$ and leptoquark. Using the allowed parameter space, we estimate the form factor independent $P_{4,5}^\prime$ observables and the lepton non-universality parameters $R_{K}$, $R_{K^*}$ and $R_\phi$. We also briefly discuss about the neutrino mass generation at one-loop level and the viable parameter region to explain current neutrino oscillation data.

Highlights

  • We investigate Majorana dark matter in a new variant of Uð1ÞLμ−Lτ gauge extension of the Standard Model, where the scalar sector is enriched with an inert doublet and a (3, 1, 1=3) scalar leptoquark

  • Though the experimentally measured values of various physical observables are in excellent agreement with the Standard Model (SM) predictions, there are many open unsolved problems—such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry, the hierarchy problem, the dark matter (DM) content of the Universe, etc.—which make us believe that there is something beyond the SM

  • We have not observed any clear indication of new physics (NP) in the B sector, there are several physical observables associated with flavorchanging neutral current b → slþl− processes which have ð2–4Þσ [1,2,3,4,5,6] discrepancies

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Though the experimentally measured values of various physical observables are in excellent agreement with the Standard Model (SM) predictions, there are many open unsolved problems—such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry, the hierarchy problem, the dark matter (DM) content of the Universe, etc.—which make us believe that there is something beyond the SM. We study a new version of the Uð1ÞLμ−Lτ gauge extension of the SM with a (3, 1, 1=3) scalar LQ (SLQ) and an inert doublet, to study the phenomenology of dark matter and neutrino mass generation and to compute the flavor observables within a single framework. The Z0 gauge boson of the extended Uð1Þ symmetry and the SLQ play an important role in settling the known issues of the flavor sector In this regard, we would like to investigate whether the observed anomalies in the rare leptonic/semileptonic decay processes mediated by b → slþl− transitions can be explained in the present framework. We consider the following benchmark values for the masses of the scalar spectrum: ðMS1 ; Mηþ ; Mηe;o Þ 1⁄4 ð1.2; 2; 1.5Þ TeV
