Pati-Salam and lepton universality in B decays (1905.05211v1)

Published 13 May 2019 in hep-ph and hep-ex

Abstract: Recent hints for lepton-flavor non-universality in $B$-meson decays can be interpreted as hints for the existence of leptoquarks. We show that scalar leptoquarks unavoidably arise in grand unified theories, using the well-known Pati-Salam model as an example. These GUT-motivated leptoquarks can have a number of appealing features including automatic absence of proton decay, purely chiral couplings, and relations between the various leptoquark couplings. We show that $R(K{(*)})$ can be connected to the neutrino mass matrix that arises via type-II seesaw, resulting in testable lepton flavor violation. In order to also explain $R(D{(*)})$ one instead has to assume the existence of light right-handed neutrinos, once again with testable predictions in other $B$-meson decays and at the LHC.
