Combined explanation of $W$-mass, muon $g-2$, $R_{K^{(\ast )}}$ and $R_{D^{(\ast )}}$ anomalies in a singlet-triplet scalar leptoquark model

Abstract

In addition to the long-standing anomalies seen in the muon $g-2$, $R_{K^{(\ast )}}$, and $R_{D^{(\ast )}}$ observables by various independent experiments, the CDF Collaboration has found another significant one in the $W$-boson mass. These anomalies might be intertwined at a fundamental level and have a single new-physics explanation. In this paper, we present a simultaneous solution to these anomalies with two scalar leptoquarks of roughly equal mass -- one weak-singlet $S_1$ and the other a weak-triplet $S_3$ -- which mix through a Higgs portal. The solution has only a few new couplings and TeV-scale leptoquarks, making the solution testable at the LHC. We put a lower and upper bound on the leptoquark masses in this setup from the current LHC data and the assumption that all new couplings are within the perturbative limit.
