Neutrinoless double beta decay from scalar leptoquarks: interplay with neutrino mass and flavor physics by P. S. Bhupal Dev, Srubabati Goswami, Chayan Majumdar, Debashis Pachhar

“…We carve out the parameter region consistent with constraints from neutrino mass and mixing, collider searches, as well as measurements of several flavor observables, such as muon and electron anomalous magnetic moments, charged lepton flavor violation and rare (semi)leptonic kaon and B-meson decays, including the recent anomalies in R D ∗ $$ {R}_{D^{\left(\ast \right)}} $$ and B → Kν ν ¯ $$ B\to K\nu \overline{\nu} $$ observables. We perform a global analysis to all the existing constraints and show the (anti)correlations between all relevant Yukawa couplings satisfying these restrictions. …”
