Phenomenological study of a gauged $L_{\mu }-L_{\tau }$ model with a scalar leptoquark

Abstract

A $Z^{\prime }$ gauge boson with sub-GeV mass has acquired a significant interest in phenomenology, particularly in view of the muon $g-2$ anomaly and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering. The latter is challenged by the nuclear recoil energy of a few tens of keV but has been observed by the COHERENT experiment. To further reconcile the observed excesses in $R(D^{(\ast )})$ from semileptonic charmful $B$ decays and in the $W$ boson mass, we investigate a model with a gauged $U(1{)}_{L_{\mu }-L_{\tau }}$ symmetry and a scalar leptoquark. In contrast to the mechanism that involves kinetic mixing between the gauge bosons of $U(1{)}_{\mathrm{em}}$ and $U(1{)}_{L_{\mu }-L_{\tau }}$, we adopt a dynamical symmetry breaking of $U(1{)}_{L_{\mu }-L_{\tau }}$ by incorporating an additional Higgs doublet. Through mixing with the $U(1{)}_{L_{\mu }-L_{\tau }}$-charged Higgs doublet, new Higgs decay channels $h\to Z_1{Z}_1/Z_1{Z}_2$ occur at percent-level branching ratios, which could be accessible at the LHC. The $W$-mass anomaly observed by CDF II can be potentially resolved through the enhancement in the oblique parameter $T$. Due to the flavored gauge symmetry, the introduced scalar leptoquark $S^{\frac{1}{3}}=(\bar{3},1,2/3)$ exhibits a unique coupling to the $\tau$-lepton, offering an explanation for the excesses observed in $R(D^{(\ast )})$. Moreover, $\tau \to \mu (Z_1\to )e^{-}{e}^{+}$ via the resonant light gauge boson decay can reach the sensitivity of Belle II at an integrated luminosity of 50 ab${}^{-1}$.
