Addressing the LHC flavour anomalies with horizontal gauge symmetries
read the original abstract
We study the impact of an additional $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry with flavour-dependent charges for quarks and leptons on the LHC flavour anomalies observed in $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$, $R(K) = B \to K \mu^+\mu^-/B \to K e^+e^-$, and $h \to \mu\tau$. In its minimal version with two scalar doublets, the resulting model naturally explains the deviations from the Standard Model observed in $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$ and $R(K)$. The CMS access in $h \to \mu\tau$ can be explained by introducing a third scalar doublet, which gives rise to a prediction for $\tau \to 3\mu$. We investigate constraints from flavour observables and direct LHC searches for $pp \to Z' \to \mu^+\mu^-$. Our model successfully generates the measured fermion-mixing matrices and does not require vector-like fermions, unlike previous attempts to explain these anomalies.

Correlating lepton flavor violating $b \to s$ and leptonic decay modes in a minimal abelian extension of the Standard Model
In the ABCD model, experimental upper bounds on tau to three muons, muon to electron gamma, and related LFV processes constrain branching ratios of LFV B(s) decays in hierarchical order.

Correlative study of flavor anomalies and dark matter in the light of scalar leptoquark
A U(1)_{Le-Lμ} extended SM with scalar leptoquark explains b→s anomalies via Z', leptoquark and new fermions while the lightest neutral fermion serves as DM, with constraints analyzed from B decays and DM observables.
