Description
We report on a new class of flavorful $Z^\prime$-extensions of the standard model, which explain the recent hints for lepton universality violation in $R_{K^{(*)}}$-data.
The models feature new vector-like fermions as well as additional scalar fields around the electroweak scale or above.
On top of well-known theoretical and phenomenological constraints, we require stable and Landau-pole free coupling constant evolution up to the Planck scale.
We identify viable "Planck safe" benchmark scenarios and discuss phenomenological implications.
