Minimal Explanation of Flavor Anomalies
B-meson decays, the muon magnetic moment, and the Cabibbo angle
Fit to the B-physics and flavor constraints in the minimal two-mediator framework.Together with David Marzocca, I proposed a minimal framework for the then-observed anomalies in charged- and neutral-current B decays, the muon magnetic moment, and the extraction of the Cabibbo angle. The model combines a scalar leptoquark with a charged singlet: the two mediators address complementary effects, and their one-loop interplay connects the full pattern of anomalies.
