Electric dipole moments as probes of the RD(*) anomaly

The measurements of the lepton flavor universality (LFU) in B(B¯→D(*)lν¯) indicate a significant deviation from the standard model prediction at a 3–4σ level, revealing a violation of the LFU (RD(*) anomaly). It is known that the RD(*) anomaly can be easily accommodated by an SU(2)L-singlet vector leptoquark (LQ) coupled primarily to third-generation fermions, whose existence is further motivated by a partial gauge unification. In general, such a LQ naturally leads to additional CP-violating phases in the LQ interactions. In this paper, we point out that the current RD(*) anomaly prefers the CP-violating interaction although B(B¯→D(*)lν¯) are CP-conserving observables. The CP-violating LQ predicts a substantial size of the bottom-quark electric dipole moment (EDM), the chromo-EDM, and also the tau-lepton EDM. Eventually at low energy, the nucleon and electron EDMs are radiatively induced. Therefore, we conclude that the RD(*) anomaly with the SU(2)L-singlet vector LQ provides unique predictions: neutron and proton EDMs with opposite signs and a magnitude of O(10−27) e cm, and suppressed electron EDM. Furthermore, we show that a similar EDM pattern is predicted in an SU(2)L-doublet scalar LQ scenario that can accommodate the RD(*) anomaly as well. These EDM signals could serve as crucial indicators in future experiments. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying to muons and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV

A search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks (LQs) each decaying to a muon and a bottom quark is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. No excess above standard model expectation is observed. Scalar (vector) LQs with masses less than 1810 (2120) GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming a 100% branching fraction of the LQ decaying to a muon and a bottom quark. These limits represent the most stringent to date. © 2024 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration 2024 CERN

Combination of searches for pair-produced leptoquarks at [formula omitted] TeV with the ATLAS detector

A statistical combination of various searches for pair-produced leptoquarks is presented, using the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data set of 139 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. All possible decays of the leptoquarks into quarks of the third generation and charged or neutral leptons of any generation are investigated. Since no significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed in any of the individual analyses, combined exclusion limits are set on the production cross-sections for scalar and vector leptoquarks. The resulting lower bounds on leptoquark masses exceed those from the individual analyses by up to 100GeV, depending on the signal hypothesis.

Studying lepton flavor violating μ decays with vector leptoquark

We study the charged LFV μ decays such as μ → e γ, μ → eee, and μ−eTi with a vector leptoquark (U 3) by considering the constraints from non-standard neutrino interaction (NSI) sector parameter ϵ e μ . We consider that these NSIs are attributed to the presence of leptoquarks to account for the difference in the experimental observations of δ CP measurement by NOvA and T2K. In our study, we obtained the branching ratios with uncertainties for three decay modes: B(μ→eγ)≤4.6−2.6+3.8×10−18,B(μ→eee)≤9.57−5.37+7.43×10−21,Bμ→eTi≤6.89−3.89+5.61×10−19. Our results show an improvement in the current limits, which can be explored in future experiments.

Third-family lepton-quark fusion

We analyze the signatures of new physics scenarios featuring third-family quark-lepton unification at the TeV scale in lepton-quark fusion at hadron colliders. Working with complete UV dynamics based on the SU(4) gauge symmetry in the third-family fermions, we simulate the resonant production of a vector leptoquark at the next-to-leading order, including its decay and matching to the parton showers. The precise theoretical control over this production channel allows us to set robust bounds on the vector leptoquark parameter space which are complementary to the other production channels at colliders. We emphasize the importance of the resonant channel in future searches and discuss the impact of variations in the model space depending on the flavor structure of the vector leptoquark couplings.

Neutrino charge radius and electromagnetic dipole moments via scalar and vector leptoquarks

The one-loop contribution of scalar and vector leptoquarks (LQs) to the electromagnetic properties (NEPs) of massive Dirac neutrinos is presented via an effective Lagrangian approach. For the contribution of gauge LQs to the effective neutrino charge radius defined in Bernabeu et al. (Phys Rev Lett 89:101802, 2002. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.101802 [Erratum: Phys Rev Lett 89:229902 (2002)]), we considered a Yang–Mills scenario and used the background field method for the calculation. Analytical results for nonzero neutrino mass are presented, which can be useful to obtain the NEPs of heavy neutrinos, out of which approximate expressions are obtained for light neutrinos. For the numerical analysis we concentrate on the only renormalizable scalar and vector LQ representations that do not need extra symmetries to forbid tree-level proton decay.

Constraining flavoured leptoquarks with LHC and LFV

We consider the framework of flavoured leptoquarks, in models with scalar or vector leptoquarks, and look for constraints to the parameter space of these models. Using primarily direct searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and precision processes that probe Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV), we present lower bounds for the masses of the leptoquarks in different flavoured scenarios. We classify the models according to the specific leptoquark, distinguished with respect to their couplings to charged leptons (lepton isolation, two-columned patterns) and in scenarios with specific hierarchies in the couplings (hierarchical, 2-3 democratic, and flipped).

Finite naturalness and quark-lepton unification

We study the implications of finite naturalness in Pati-Salam models where SU(3)C is embedded in SU(4). For the minimal realization at low scale of quark-lepton unification, which employs the inverse seesaw for neutrino masses, we find that radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass are at least δmh2/mh2∼O(104). The one-loop contributions to the Higgs mass are suppressed by four powers of the hypercharge gauge coupling. We find that for the vector leptoquarks the naively leading part of the two-loop corrections cancel. We assume the Dirac Yukawa couplings for neutrinos are equal to the up-type quark Yukawa couplings as predicted in the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification. Despite these findings, the two-loop corrections still dominate the finite naturalness bound. We mention a way to relax the lower bound on the vector leptoquark mass and have δmh2/mh2∼O(102).

The benchmark models considered in this search are vector leptoquarks with electric charge of 2/3e and scalar leptoquarks with an electric charge of 4/3e. No significant excess above the Standard Model prediction is observed, and 95% confidence level upper limits are set on the cross-section times branching fraction of leptoquarks decaying into bτ. For the vector leptoquark production two models are considered: the Yang-Mills and Minimal coupling models. In the Yang-Mills (Minimal coupling) scenario, vector leptoquarks with a mass below 1.58 (1.35) TeV are excluded for a gauge coupling of 1.0 and below 2.05 (1.99) TeV for a gauge coupling of 2.5. In the case of scalar leptoquarks, masses below 1.28 (1.53) TeV are excluded for a Yukawa coupling of 1.0 (2.5). Finally, an interpretation of the results with minimal model dependence is performed for each of the signal region categories, and limits on the visible cross-section for beyond the Standard Model processes are provided.

Lepton flavor violating decays

A number of measurements in decays induced by the semileptonic b → s and b → c transitions hint towards a possible role of new physics in both sectors. Motivated by these anomalies, we investigate the lepton flavor violating decays. We calculate the two-fold angular distribution of decay in the presence of vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudo-scalar new physics interactions. We then compute the branching fraction and lepton forward–backward asymmetry in the framework of vector leptoquark which is a viable solution to the current B anomalies. We find that the upper limits are and at 90% C.L.

Searches for additional Higgs bosons and for vector leptoquarks in ττ final states in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

Three searches are presented for signatures of physics beyond the standard model (SM) in ττ final states in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Upper limits at 95% confidence level (CL) are set on the products of the branching fraction for the decay into τ leptons and the cross sections for the production of a new boson ϕ, in addition to the H(125) boson, via gluon fusion (ggϕ) or in association with b quarks, ranging from mathcal{O} (10 pb) for a mass of 60 GeV to 0.3 fb for a mass of 3.5 TeV each. The data reveal two excesses for ggϕ production with local p-values equivalent to about three standard deviations at mϕ = 0.1 and 1.2 TeV. In a search for t-channel exchange of a vector leptoquark U1, 95% CL upper limits are set on the dimensionless U1 leptoquark coupling to quarks and τ leptons ranging from 1 for a mass of 1 TeV to 6 for a mass of 5 TeV, depending on the scenario. In the interpretations of the {M}_{textrm{h}}^{125} and {M}_{textrm{h},textrm{EFT}}^{125} minimal supersymmetric SM benchmark scenarios, additional Higgs bosons with masses below 350 GeV are excluded at 95% CL.

Search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into third-generation quarks and first- or second-generation leptons in pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into quarks and leptons of different generations is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data set of 139 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s} = 13 TeV. Scalar leptoquarks with charge −(1/3)e as well as scalar and vector leptoquarks with charge +(2/3)e are considered. All possible decays of the pair-produced leptoquarks into quarks of the third generation (t, b) and charged or neutral leptons of the first or second generation (e, μ, ν) with exactly one electron or muon in the final state are investigated. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed. Upper limits on the production cross-section are provided for eight models as a function of the leptoquark mass and the branching ratio of the leptoquark into the charged or neutral lepton. In addition, lower limits on the leptoquark masses are derived for all models across a range of branching ratios. Two of these models have the goal of providing an explanation for the recent B-anomalies. In both models, a vector leptoquark decays into charged and neutral leptons of the second generation with a similar branching fraction. Lower limits of 1980 GeV and 1710 GeV are set on the leptoquark mass for these two models.

Right-handed neutrino pair production via second-generation leptoquarks

No direct experimental constraints exist on Leptoquark (LQ) couplings with quarks and right-handed neutrinos (RHNs). If a LQ dominantly couples to RHNs, it can leave unique signatures at the LHC. The RHNs can be produced copiously from LQ decays as long as they are lighter than the LQs. LQ-induced RHN production has never been searched for in experiments. This channel can act as a simultaneous probe for RHNs and LQs that dominantly couple to RHNs. In this paper, we consider all possible charge-2/3 and 1/3 scalar and vector LQs that dominantly couple to second-generation quarks and RHN. We study the pair and single productions of TeV-scale LQs and their subsequent decay to sub-TeV RHNs, realised in the inverse seesaw framework. We also consider RHN pair production through a t-channel LQ exchange. The single LQ production and t-channel contributions can be significant for large LQ-RHN-quark couplings. We systematically combine events from these processes leading to a pair of RHNs plus jets to study the prospects of LQ-assisted RHN pair production. We analyse the monolepton and opposite-sign dilepton final states and estimate the discovery reach at the high-luminosity LHC.

Scalar leptoquark and vector-like quark extended models as the explanation of the muon g–2 anomaly: bottom partner chiral enhancement case* *Supported by an appointment to the Young Scientist Training Program at the APCTP through the Science and Technology Promotion Fund and Lottery Fund of the Korean Government. This work was also supported by the Korean Local Governments-Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and Pohang

Leptoquark (LQ) models are well motivated solutions to the anomaly. In the minimal LQ models, only specific representations can lead to chiral enhancements. For the scalar LQs, and can lead to the top quark chiral enhancement. For the vector LQs, and can lead to the bottom quark chiral enhancement. When we consider the LQ and vector-like quark (VLQ) simultaneously, there can be more scenarios. In our previous study, we considered the scalar LQ and VLQ extended models with up-type quark chiral enhancement. Here, we study the scalar LQ and VLQ extended models with down-type quark chiral enhancement. We find two new models with B quark chiral enhancements, which originate from the bottom and bottom partner mixing. Then, we propose new LQ and VLQ search channels under the constraints of .

Electroweak-flavour and quark-lepton unification: a family non-universal path

We present a family-non-universal extension of the Standard Model where the first two families feature both quark-lepton and electroweak-flavour unification, via the SU(4) Sp(4)L Sp(4)R gauge group, whereas quark-lepton unification for the third family is realised à la Pati-Salam. Via staggered symmetry breaking steps, this construction offers a natural explanation for the observed hierarchical pattern of fermion masses and mixings, while providing a natural suppression for flavour-changing processes involving the first two generations. The last-but-one step in the symmetry-breaking chain is a non-universal 4321 model, characterised by a vector leptoquark naturally coupled mainly to the third generation. The stability of the Higgs sector points to a 4321 → SM symmetry-breaking scale around the TeV, with interesting phenomenological consequences in B physics and collider processes that differ from those of other known 4321 completions.

Resonant lepton-gluon collisions at the Large Hadron Collider

We study the lepton-induced resonant production of color-adjoint leptons (leptogluons) at the LHC, employing the lepton parton density function of the proton. We demonstrate that this production mechanism can be useful to extend the LHC ability to search for leptogluons beyond purely quark/gluon-initiated production processes up to $\ensuremath{\sim}3.5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ leptogluon masses and $\mathcal{O}(1)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ compositeness scales. Discerning leptogluons from scalar and vector leptoquarks is also possible in this channel, given a data sample containing the order of 100 signal events. We argue that the resonant channel can be combined with leptogluon pair and associated leptogluon-lepton productions to boost exclusion limits and discovery prospects at the LHC.

B-anomalies in a twin Pati-Salam theory of flavour including the 2022 LHCb {R}_{K^{left(ast right)}} analysis

We perform a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the twin Pati-Salam theory of flavour, focussing on the parameter space relevant for interpreting the B-anomalies via vector leptoquark U1 exchange. This model provides a very predictive framework in which the U1 couplings and the Yukawa couplings find a common origin via mixing of chiral quarks and leptons with vector-like fermions, providing a direct link between the B-anomalies and the fermion masses and mixing. We propose and study a simplified model with three vector-like fermion families, in the massless first family approximation, and show that the second and third family charged fermion masses and mixings and the B-anomalies can be simultaneously explained and related. The model has the proper flavour structure to be compatible with all low-energy observables, and leads to predictions in promising observables such as τ → 3μ, τ → μγ and Bto {K}^{left(ast right)}nu overline{nu} at Belle II and LHCb. The model also predicts a rich spectrum of TeV scale gauge bosons and vector-like fermions, all accessible to the LHC. In this updated version we have included an extended analysis considering the new 2022 LHCb data on {R}_{K^{left(ast right)}} , which has slightly shifted the preferred parameter space with respect to the 2021 case. The model can still explain the {R}_{D^{left(ast right)}} anomalies at 1σ in a narrow window, however we expect small deviations from the SM on the {R}_{K^{left(ast right)}} ratios, to be tested in the future via more precise measurements by the LHCb collaboration. We also predict RD = {R}_{D^{ast }} , with future measurements shifting the world averages to slightly smaller central values.

Confronting the vector leptoquark hypothesis with new low- and high-energy data

In light of new data we present an updated phenomenological analysis of the simplified U_1-leptoquark model addressing charged-current B-meson anomalies. The analysis shows a good compatibility of low-energy data (dominated by the lepton flavor universality ratios R_D and R_{D^*}) with the high-energy constraints posed by pprightarrow tau {bar{tau }} Drell-Yan data. We also show that present data are well compatible with a framework where the leptoquark couples with similar strength to both left- and right-handed third-generation fermions, a scenario that is well-motivated from a model building perspective. We find that the high-energy implications of this setup will be probed at the 95% confidence level in the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.

Singlet vector leptoquark model facing recent LHCb and BABAR measurements

Very recently the LHCb experiment released the first measurement of the ratio R(Λc)=BR(Λb→Λcτν¯τ)/BR(Λb→Λcμν¯μ). Moreover, the BABAR experiment reported a new result of the leptonic decay ratio of Upsilon meson ϒ(3S), namely, Rϒ(3S)=BR(ϒ(3S)→τ+τ−)/BR(ϒ(3S)→μ+μ−). Both measurements are below their corresponding Standard Model predictions (deficit), deviating by ∼1.1σ and ∼1.8σ, respectively. In addition, the LHCb recently presented the first search of the lepton flavor violating decay B0→K⁎0μ±τ∓. Motivated by these new data, in this work we study their impact on the phenomenology of the singlet vector leptoquark (U1) model addressing the hints of lepton flavor universality violation in the semileptonic decays of B mesons (B meson anomalies), by carrying out a global fit analysis. In general, we found that a minimal version of the U1 model with a mass of 2 TeV can successfully explain the B meson anomalies, while being compatible with all other flavor observables and LHC bounds. Interestingly, our study shows that the new observables R(Λc) and Rϒ(3S) generate strong tension, leading to non-trivial effects on the global fit. Future improvements at the LHCb and Belle II experiments would help to understand their complementary. Moreover, we also analyze the impact of the expected sensitivity on flavor observables at Belle II to provide a further test of the U1 model. Finally, we study the minimal assumptions under which the U1 model could, in addition, provide a combined explanation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
