New solutions to the charged current B-anomalies

There are a host of different experimental efforts looking for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model. For the most part, the results from these experiments are in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. Nonetheless, a handful of discrepancies have been observed. One of the most significant discrepancies is observed in the flavor-changing processes B → DTV and B → D*TV. In this work we propose two novel explanations for these anomalies and study their phenomenology. The characteristic feature of these two models are (i) use of right-handed neutrinos and a new W' mediator, and (ii) mixing between two leptoquarks after the electroweak symmetry breaking, respectively. We further study the imprint of these models, as well as all other viable solutions, on related asymmetry observables. We motivate the measurement of various asymmetry observables associated with the T lepton in these processes, as they can likely distinguish different viable solutions.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference
