$R(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{B}r(B \rightarrow \tau\nu_{\tau})$ in a Flipped/Lepton-Specific 2HDM with anomalously enhanced charged Higgs coupling to $\tau$/b

TL;DR

This paper explores how a Flipped/Lepton-Specific 2HDM with enhanced charged Higgs couplings can explain observed deviations in B meson decay measurements related to lepton flavor universality violations, aligning theory with experimental data.

Contribution

It demonstrates that a specific 2HDM extension can reconcile experimental anomalies in B meson decays within 1σ, improving upon the Standard Model's 4σ deviation.

Findings

The model achieves agreement within 1σ with experimental data.

Enhanced Yukawa couplings to τ and b quarks are key to explaining anomalies.

The approach reduces the deviation from 4σ to within 1σ.

Abstract

Babar, Belle and recently LHCb has reported an excess in the measurements of $R(D^{*})$, $R(D)$ and $\mathcal{B}r(B \rightarrow \tau \nu_{\tau} )$ than expected from SM, a possible signature of lepton flavor universality violating NP. In this work we analyze the phenomenological implications for these decay modes in a Flipped/Lepton-Specific 2HDM with anomalously enhanced Yukawa coupling of $H^{\pm}$ to $\tau$/b. When experimental and theoretical errors are added in quadrature, we conclude that this phenomenological extension of SM can give results in agreement within 1$\sigma$ deviation for the combination of $R(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{B}r(B \rightarrow \tau \nu_{\tau})$ compare to about 4$\sigma$ deviation from SM from the latest combined[Babar,Belle,LHCb] experimental data for these observables.
