Flavour anomalies have attracted a lot of attention over recent years as they provide unique hints for possible New Physics. Here, we consider a supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional anomaly-free gauge U(1) group. The key feature of our model is the particular choice of non-universal charges to the gauge boson Z′, which not only allows a relaxation of the flavour discrepancies but, contrary to previous studies, can reproduce the SM mixing matrices both in the quark and lepton sectors. We pay special attention to the latter and explicitly enumerate all parameters relevant for our calculation in the low-energy effective theory. We find regions in the parameter space that satisfy experimental constraints on meson mixing and LHC Z′ searches and can alleviate the flavour anomalies. In addition, we also discuss the predictions for lepton-flavour violating decays B+→K+μτ and B+→K+eτ.

The ultrahigh energy neutrino cross section is well understood in the standard model for neutrino energies up to 1012 GeV, Tests of neutrino oscillations (νμ ↔ ντ) from extragalactic sources of neutrinos are possible with large underground detectors. Measurements of horizontal air shower event rates at neutrino energies above 1010 GeV will be able to constrain nonstandard model contributions to the neutrino-nucleon cross section, e.g., from mini-black hole production.

We analyze LEP and SLC data from the 1995 Summer Conferences as well as from low energy neutral current experiments for signals of new physics. The reasons for doing this are twofold: first to explain the deviations from the Standard Model observed in Rb and Rc and second to constrain nonstandard contributions to couplings of the Z0 boson to all fermions and to the oblique parameters. We do so by comparing the data with the Standard Model as well as with a number of test hypotheses concerning the nature of the new physics. These include nonstandard [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-couplings as well as the couplings of the Z0 to fermions of the entire first, second and third generations and universal corrections to all up- and down-type quark couplings (as can arise see for example in Z' mixing models). We find that nonstandard [Formula: see text] couplings are both necessary and sufficient to explain the data and in particular the Rb anomaly. It is not possible to explain Rb, Rc and a value of the strong coupling constant consistent with low energy determinations invoking only nonstandard [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-couplings. To do so one has to have also new physics contributions to the [Formula: see text] or universal corrections to all [Formula: see text] couplings.

Interactions of the technidilaton with fermions and gauge bosons are obtained by constructing a low energy effective Lagrangian and using the fact that the technidilaton couples to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor Θµµ. Technidilaton’s interactions are compared with those of the Higgs bosons of the Standard Model with one or two scalar doublets.

Using the low energy effective Hamiltonian with the generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to B→π+π-, Kπ and Kη′ in the topcolor-assisted-technicolor (TC2) model, and compare the results with the available data. By using [Formula: see text] preferred by the CLEO data of B→π+π-decay, we find that the new physics enhancements to B→ Kη′ decays are significant in size, ~ 50% with respect to the standard model predictions, insensitive to the variations of input parameters and hence provide a simple and plausible new physics interpretation for the observed unexpectedly large B→ Kη′ decay rates.

We consider supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification where the unified gauge group can break to the Standard Model gauge group through different chains. The breaking of SO(10) necessarily involves the reduction of the rank, and consequent generation of nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar mass terms. We derive squark and slepton mass relations, taking into account these nonuniversal contributions to the sfermion masses, which can help distinguish between the different chains through which the SO(10) gauge group breaks to the Standard Model gauge group. We then study some implications of these nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar masses for the low energy phenomenology.
