Right-handed interactions in puzzling B-decays

Abstract

We explain the difference between the measured decay widths of $b\to c\tau \nu$ processes and of $B\to K\nu \overline{\nu }$ and their values predicted in the Standard Model by introducing the right-handed interactions both to quarks and to leptons. At low energy scales, in addition to the Standard Model particles, we assume the presence of an additional neutral lepton (right-handed neutrino). We then show a specific realization of such a scenario in a model with a single scalar leptoquark ($S_1$), and discuss the corresponding phenomenology.
