“…In this context, box contributions of heavy new scalars and fermions 2 (also within multi Higgs doublet models with right-handed neutrinos [75][76][77]) have been shown to be a viable option [78][79][80][81] 3 . Furthermore, an explanation of the anomalies in b → s + − via loop effects allows for interesting connections to Dark Matter [86][87][88][89][90][91][92] and typically leads to correlated imprints on other observables like the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (a µ ).…”

In this article we investigate in detail the possibility of accounting for the b → s + − anomalies via box contributions involving with new scalars and fermions. For this purpose, we first write down the most general Lagrangian which can generate the desired effects and then calculate the generic expressions for all relevant b → s Wilson coefficients. Here we extend previous analysis by allowing that the new particles can also couple to right-handed Standard Model (SM) fermions as preferred by recent b → s + − data and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In the second part of this article we illustrate this generic approach for a UV complete model in which we supplement the Standard Model by a 4 th generation of vector-like fermions and a real scalar field. This model allows one to coherently address the observed anomalies in b → s + − transitions and in a µ without violating the bounds from other observables (in particular B s −B s mixing) or LHC searches. In fact, we find that our global fit to this model, after the recent experimental updates, is very good and prefers couplings to right-handed SM fermions, showing the importance of our generic setup and calculation performed in the first part of the article.

“…[2][3][4][5]. The b → s + − anomaly is addressed by introducing a Z boson [6][7][8][9] and new particles which induce box diagram contributions [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Both anomalies can be explained simultaneously in models with VL fermions and a Z boson [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Complete vectorlike fourth family with U(1)′ : A global analysis

In this paper we present an in-depth analysis of a recently proposed Standard Model extension with a complete fourth generation of quarks and leptons, which are vector-like with respect to the Standard Model gauge group and charged under a new spontaneously broken vector-like U(1) gauge symmetry. The model is designed to explain the known muon anomalies, i.e. the observed deviations from Standard Model predictions in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, ∆a µ , and in b → s + − processes. We perform a global χ 2 analysis of the data with 65 model parameters and including 98 observables. We find many points with χ 2 per degree of freedom ≤ 1. The vector-like leptons and the new heavy Z are typically much lighter than a TeV and would, thus, be eminently visible at the HL-LHC.

“…Box-diagram contributions involving new fermions and scalars can also account for the b → s + − anomalies [49][50][51][52]. They may even include particle candidates for dark matter [53][54][55][56][57]. These extensions, however, typically induce deviations from the SM predictions for Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decays, Higgs decays, and B s -B s mixing.…”

Complete vectorlike fourth family and new U(1)′ for muon anomalies

We consider the Standard Model (SM) with the addition of a U(1) gauge symmetry and a complete fourth family of quarks and leptons which are vector-like with respect to the full SU(3) C × SU(2) L × U(1) Y × U(1) gauge symmetry. The model provides a unified explanation of experimental anomalies in (g − 2) µ as well as b → s + − decays. We find good fits to the deviations from the SM, while at the same time fitting all other SM observables. The model includes a new Z gauge boson, a U(1) -breaking scalar, and vector-like leptons all with mass of order a few 100 GeV. It is consistent with all currently released high energy experimental data, however, it appears imminently testable with well designed future searches. Also precision flavor experiments, especially more accurate direct determinations of CKM matrix elements, would allow to probe the best fit points.
