Corrections to models of B-physics decay anomalies

Motivated by the recent anomalies observed in semileptonic decays of B-mesons, the class of models denoted as “4321” is introduced and analysed. The importance of calculating next-to-leading-order (NLO) effects in performing precise compatibility tests of data with 4321 predictions is discussed. On the one hand, the coupling of the $U_1\sim (\mathbf{\text{3}},\mathbf{\text{1}}{)}_{2\mathrm{/}3}$ leptoquark appearing in the spectrum to the third-generation fermions is large, giving rise to sizable NLO corrections in the relevant semileptonic operators. On the other hand, the new source of flavor violation is introduced with the vector-like fermions, resulting in the processes whose relevance can only be quantified at the loop order.
