We investigate solutions to the flavour anomalies in $B$ decays based on loop diagrams of a split dark sector characterised by the simultaneous presence of heavy particles at the TeV scale and light particles around and below the $B$-meson mass scale. We show that viable parameter space exists for solutions based on penguin diagrams with a vector mediator, while minimal constructions relying on box diagrams are in strong tension with the constraints from the LHC, LEP, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In particular, we highlight a regime where the mediator lies close to the $B$-meson mass, naturally realising a resonance structure and a $q^2$-dependent effective coupling. We perform a full fit to the relevant flavour observables and analyse the constraints from intensity frontier experiments. Besides new measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, we find that decays of the $B$ meson, $B_s$-mixing, missing energy searches at Belle-II, and LHC searches for top/bottom partners can robustly test these scenarios in the near future.

Several experiments observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a $4-5,sigma$ discrepancy compared to the SM in $bto smu^+mu^-$ transitions (recently supported by an Belle analysis) and CMS reported a non-zero m
easurement of $htomutau$ with a significance of $2.4,sigma$. Furthermore, BELLE, BABAR and LHCb founds hints for the violation of flavour universality in $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$. In addition, there is the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Interestingly, all these anomalies are related to muons and taus, while the corresponding electron channels seem to be SM like. This suggests that these deviations from the SM might be correlated and we briefly review some selected models providing simultaneous explanations.
This thesis is devoted to the development of a nonperturbative quantum field theoretical approach to flavour physics, with special attention to cosmological applications. Neutrino flavour oscillation is nowadays a fairly well-established experimental
fact. However, the formulation of flavour oscillations in a relativistic field theoretical framework presents non-trivial difficulties. A nonperturbative approach for building flavour states has been proposed by Blasone, Vitiello and coworkers. The formalism implies a non-trivial physical vacuum (called flavour vacuum), which might act as a source of Dark Energy. Furthermore, such a vacuum has been recognized as the effective vacuum state arising in the low energy limit of a string theoretical model, D-particle Foam Model. In the attempt of probing the observable phenomenology of the D-particle foam model, a simple toy model (two scalars with mixing `a la Blasone & Vitiello on a adiabatically expanding background) has been studied, proving that the flavour vacuum might behave as Dark Energy under certain assumptions. The first work presented in this thesis represents a development of this approach. A more realistic model is considered, which includes two flavoured Dirac fermions on a generic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. In this framework we show that the flavour vacuum presents different features, which are incompatible with Dark Energy. Motivated by this discrepancy, we next embark on the analysis of a simple supersymmetric model in flat spacetime (free Wess-Zumino), proving that the bosonic component of flavour vacuum acts as Dark Energy, whereas the fermionic as a source of Dark Matter. Finally we develop a new method of calculation that open the way to a nonperturbative extension of these results for interactive theories.
We perform a phenomenological analysis of simplified models of light, feebly interacting particles (FIPs) that can provide a combined explanation of the anomalies in $bto s l^+ l ^-$ transitions at LHCb and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
Different scenarios are categorised according to the explicit momentum dependence of the FIP coupling to the $b-s$ and $mu-mu$ vector currents and they are subject to several constraints from flavour and precision physics. We show that a phenomenologically viable combined solution to the muon $g-2$ and flavour anomalies always exists if a vector with mass larger than $4 ,textrm{GeV}$ is exchanged. Interestingly, the LHC has the potential to probe this region of the parameter space by increasing the precision of the $Zto 4mu$ cross-section measurement. Conversely, we find that solutions based on the exchange of a lighter vector, in the $m_V < 1,textrm{GeV}$ range, are essentially excluded by a combination of $Bto K +textrm{invisible}$ and $W$-decay precision bounds.
In these proceedings I present a personal perspective of the challenges for new physics (NP) searches in the flavour sector. Since the CKM mechanism of flavour violation has been established to a very high precision, we know that physics beyond the S
tandard Model can only contribute sub-dominantly. Therefore, any realistic model of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) must respect the stringent constrains from flavour observables like $bto s gamma$, $B_stomu^+mu^-$, $Delta F=2$ processes etc., in a first step. In a second step, it is interesting to ask the question if some deviations from the SM predictions (like the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon or recently observed discrepancies in tauonic $B$ decays or $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$) can be explained by a model of NP without violating bounds from other observables.
Solutions to the hierarchy problem that require partners for each standard model particle often require that these states live at or above the electroweak scale, to satisfy phenomenological bounds. Partners to possible dark sector particles may be si
gnificantly lighter, due to the assumed weakness of the couplings between the dark and visible sectors. Here we consider the possibility that a dark sector might include light Lee-Wick particles. We present the formulation of a theory in which a dark photon and its Lee-Wick partner have kinetic mixing with hypercharge. We point out that the Lee-Wick partner of the dark photon will lead to an apparent violation of causality at small distance scales that might be discerned in low-energy experiments.
