Interpreting Hints for Lepton Flavor Universality Violation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We interpret the recent hints for lepton flavor universality violation in rareB meson decays. Based on a model-independent effective Hamiltonian approach, we determine regions of new physics parameter space that give a good description of the experimental data on RK and RK∗ , which is in tension with Standard Model predictions. We suggest further measurements that can help narrowing down viable new physics explanations. We stress that the measured values of RK and RK∗ are fully compatible with new physics explanations of other anomalies in rare B meson decays based on the b→ sμμ transition. If the hints for lepton flavor universality violation are first signs of new physics, perturbative unitarity implies new phenomena below a scale of ∼ 100 TeV.

Anatomy and Phenomenology of the Lepton Flavor Universality in SUSY Theories
High precision electroweak tests, such as deviations from the Standard Model expectations of the Lepton Flavor Universality breaking in K → lνl (with l = e or μ), represent a powerful tool to test the Standard Model and, hence, to constrain or obtain indirect hints of New Physics beyond it. We explore such a possibility within Supersymmetric theories. Interestingly enough, a process that in its...

High precision electroweak tests, such as deviations from the Standard Model expectations of the Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) breaking in K → lνl (with l = e or μ), represent a powerful tool to test the Standard Model and, hence, to constrain or obtain indirect hints of New Physics beyond it. We explore such a possibility within Supersymmetric theories. Interestingly enough, a process that ...
متن کاملA L μ − L τ theory of Higgs flavor violation and ( g − 2 )
Several experiments reported hints for the violation of lepton flavor or lepton flavor universality in processes involving muons. Most prominently, there is the hint for a non-zero rate of the flavor violating Higgs decay h→ τμ at the LHC, as well as the hint for lepton flavor universality violation in rare B meson decays at LHCb. In addition, also the long standing discrepancy in the anomalous...

متن کاملLepton – Flavor Violation with Non – universal Soft Terms
We study the lepton–flavor violation processes τ → μγ and μ → eγ in two different examples of models with non–universal soft breaking terms derived from strings. We show that the predictions are quite different from those of universal scenarios. Non–universal A–terms provide an interesting framework to enhance the supersymmetric contributions to CP violation effects. We observe that in the case...
