R(K(⁎)) from dark matter exchange

Abstract: Hints of lepton flavor violation have been observed by LHCb in the rate of the decay B → Kµ + µ − relative to that of B → Ke + e − . This can be explained by new scalars and fermions which couple to standard model particles and contribute to these processes at loop level. We explore a simple model of this kind, in which one of the new fermions is a dark matter candidate, while the other is a heavy vector-like quark and the scalar is an inert Higgs doublet. We explore the constraints on this model from flavor o… Show more

“…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 ).…”

“…[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].…”

“…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.…”
