Speaker: Dr. Junichiro Kawamura (IBS CTPU)
Abstract: In this work, we show an explicit way to realize a TeV-scale vector leptoquark from the Pati-Salam (PS) unification with extra vectorlike families. The leptoquark mass is constrained to be heavier than PeV-scale by the measurement of a flavor violating kaon decay, KL→μe, in conventional models. This strong constraint can be avoided by introducing vectorlike families consistently with the quark and lepton masses and CKM and PMNS matrices. The other flavor violating processes are also suppressed. In this model, the vector leptoquark can be sufficiently light to explain the recent b→sμμ anomaly, while the b→cτν anomaly is difficult to be explained due to the strong constraints from the Z′ boson and vectorlike quark searches at the LHC. When the b→sμμ anomaly is explained, we show that O(0.2) % tuning is required in the fermion matrix, the future experiments in μ→eγ and μ-e conversions will cover the most available parameter space, and sizable neutral meson mixings, induced by the extra Higgs doublets, are unavoidable.
