Bonilla, C., Modak, T., Srivastava, R., & Valle, J. W. F. (2018). U(1)(B3-3L2) gauge symmetry as a simple description of b -> s anomalies. Phys. Rev. D, 98(9), 095002–11pp.
Abstract: We present a simple U(1)(B3-3L2) gauge standard model extension that can easily account for the anomalies in R(K) and R(K*) reported by LHCb. The model is economical in its setup and particle content. Among the standard model fermions, only the third generation quark family and the second generation leptons transform nontrivially under the new U(1)(B3-3L2) symmetry. This leads to lepton nonuniversality and flavor changing neutral currents involving the second and third quark families. We discuss the relevant experimental constraints and some implications.

Das, A., Mandal, S., & Modak, T. (2020). Testing triplet fermions at the electron-positron and electron-proton colliders using fat jet signatures. Phys. Rev. D, 102(3), 033001–22pp.
Abstract: The addition of SU(2)(L) triplet fermions of zero hypercharge with the Standard Model (SM) helps to explain the origin of the neutrino mass by the so-called seesaw mechanism. Such a scenario is commonly known as the type-III seesaw model. After the electroweak symmetry breaking, the mixings between the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the neutral leptons are developed and play important roles in the study of the charged and neutral multiplets of the triplet fermions at the colliders. In this article, we study such interactions to produce these multiplets of the triplet fermion at the electron-positron and electron-proton colliders at different center-of-mass energies. We focus on the heavy triplets, for example, having mass in the TeV scale so that their decay products including the SM, the gauge bosons, or the Higgs boson can be sufficiently boosted, leading to a fat jet. Hence, we probe the mixing between light-heavy mass eigenstates of the neutrinos and compare the results with the bounds obtained by the electroweak precision study.
