$b\rightarrow s μ^+ μ^-$ anomalies and related phenomenology in $U(1)_{B_3 - x_μL_μ- x_τL_τ}$ flavor gauge models

Abstract: We propose a generation dependent lepton/baryon gauge symmetry, $U(1){B_3 - x\mu L_\mu - x_\tau L_\tau} \equiv U(1)X$ (with $x\mu + x_\tau =1$ for anomaly cancellation), as a possible solution for the $b \rightarrow s \mu^+ \mu^-$ anomalies. By introducing two Higgs doublet fields, we can reproduce the observed CKM matrix, and generate flavor changing $Z'$ interactions in the quark sector. Thus one can explain observed anomalies in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay with the lepton non-universal $U(1)_X$ charge assignments. We show the minimal setup explaining $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ anomalies, neutrino masses and mixings and dark matter candidate, taking into account experimental constraints of flavor physics such as charged lepton flavor violations and the $B_s$--$\bar B_s$ mixing. Finally we discuss collider physics focusing on $Z'$ production at the Large Hadron Collider and relic density of our dark matter candidate.
