Flavor Anomalies and Quark-Lepton Unification

TL;DR

This paper proposes a minimal quark-lepton unification model that explains B-meson decay anomalies and suggests unification could occur below 100 TeV, with implications for flavor violation.

Contribution

It introduces a minimal theory for quark-lepton unification that accounts for observed B-meson anomalies and explores its phenomenological implications.

Findings

Explains neutral and charged B-meson decay anomalies

Suggests quark-lepton unification below 100 TeV

Discusses flavor violating processes in detail

Abstract

We show that one can explain the neutral and charged anomalies in B-meson decays in the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification.The implications for flavor violating processes are discussed in detail. Strikingly, experimental observations suggest that the unification of quarks and leptons could be realized below the ${\cal O}(10^2)$ TeV scale.
