Andreas Crevillin (CERN): “Explaining the flavour anomalies”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


Even though no new particles were discovered at the LHC so far, LHCb
found deviations from the standard model predictions in b->smumu
transitions with a significance above the 4 sigma level. Furthermore,
CMS found hints for the decay h->taumu and BaBar, BELLE and LHCb
observed hints for lepton flavour non-universality in tauonic B decays.

In this talk I review various possibilities how to explain these
deviations from the SM expectations in some NP models. Possible
candidates are models with leptoquarks, but especially Z’ models with
additional Higgs doublets provide a well motivated explanation of the
anomalies and predict interesting correlations, for example in
tau->mumumu, and could also be directly discoverable at the LHC.
