B decay anomalies and dark matter from vectorlike confinement
@article{Cline2017BDA, title={B decay anomalies and dark matter from vectorlike confinement}, author={James M. Cline}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2017}, volume={97}, pages={015013} }
Lepton flavor universality violating $B\to K\ell\ell$ and $K^*\ell\ell$ decays tentatively observed by LHCb can be explained by leptoquark exchange. We explore a simple model for the $B$ anomalies with a composite leptoquark from new strong dynamics at the TeV scale, a confining SU($N_{\rm HC}$) hypercolor interaction. The new matter fields, fundamentals under SU($N_{\rm HC}$), are heavy vectorlike fermions $\Psi,\, S,$ and an inert scalar doublet $\phi$. $\Psi$ is colored under QCD while $S…
