Collider signatures of a scalar leptoquark and vectorlike lepton in light of muon anomaly

Despite the immense success of the Standard Model (SM), the hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has continued. Extension of the SM gauge group or the particle content of the SM remains a viable solution to many observed anomalies, such as the anomalous magnetic moment of muon, flavor violation, dark matter, etc. In this work, we consider a BSM model which includes a leptoquark, a vectorlike lepton, and a real scalar singlet. The model accounts for a dark matter candidate through a Z2 symmetry in addition to predicting the muon (g - 2) in agreement with the experimental measurement. We also show that the experimental measurements of the lepton flavor violation are satisfied in a wide range of parameter space. The viable parameter space of the model is used to study the collider signatures arising from the pair production of the leptoquark in the 20 + 2b + /ET channel at the 14 TeV LHC run.

Automated summary

Despite the success of the Standard Model, the search for physics beyond the Standard Model continues. In this study, a BSM model involving a leptoquark, a vectorlike lepton, and a real scalar singlet is considered. The model explains a dark matter candidate through a Z2 symmetry and predicts the muon (g - 2) in agreement with experimental results. Collider signatures arising from the pair production of the leptoquark are also studied in the viable parameter space of the model.
