Description
Hints from the flavor sector—such as anomalies in B-meson decays and inconsistencies in CKM unitarity—offer clues about what new physics beyond the Standard Model might look like. Among the most motivated scenarios are models predicting vector-like leptons and/or leptoquarks. This poster highlights recent results from the ATLAS experiment targeting these possibilities, using data collected during Run 2 of the LHC (2015–2018). These searches leverage state-of-the-art analysis techniques and robust background estimation methods, and in some cases reveal intriguing excesses that motivate further investigation with future data from the experiment.
