Minimal Unified Resolution to R_{K^{(*)}} and R(D^{(*)}) Anomalies with Lepton Mixing

Area of Science:

• High Energy Physics
• Particle Physics
• Theoretical Physics

Background:

• Standard Model of Particle Physics has limitations.
• Observed discrepancies in B decays challenge current theories.
• Neutral-current observables R_K and R_{K*} show deviations.
• Charged-current observables R(D) and R(D*) also exhibit anomalies.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a simple and compelling new physics scenario.
• To explain the observed discrepancies in B decay observables.
• To identify a minimal theoretical framework for these anomalies.

Main Methods:

• Utilizing an effective field theory approach.
• Introducing a model with only two unknown parameters.
• Analyzing neutral-current and charged-current observables.

Main Results:

• A two-parameter effective theory successfully explains R_K, R_{K*}, R(D), and R(D*).
• The proposed scenario reconciles experimental data with theoretical expectations.
• The model provides a unified explanation for the observed anomalies.

Conclusions:

• A simple new physics scenario with two parameters can resolve B decay anomalies.
• This effective theory offers a compelling explanation for current experimental discrepancies.
• The model predicts observable signatures in future B decay experiments and high-energy collisions.
