Unraveling Flavour Anomalies with Leptoquarks
Leptoquarks play a crucial role in explaining flavour anomalies in particle physics, particularly in semi-leptonic decays and other flavour observables. This presentation delves into the effects, implications, and potential UV completions of leptoquarks within the Pati-Salam model.
