We identify a single six-dimensional effective operator $O_{ellell}$ that can account for the Cabibbo angle anomaly naturally, without any tension with the electroweak precision observables. The renormalization group running of $O_{ell ell}$ yields the required new couplings of $W$ and $Z$ bosons in exactly the right proportion. When generated as a result of a $Z$ model, the non-universal leptonic coupling needed for this operator can also contribute to the lepton flavor universality violating $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly, generating the preferred relation $C_9=-C_{10}$ between the Wilson coefficients. We find the region in parameter space of $Z$ mass and couplings that offer a simultaneous solution to both these anomalies, and argue that $O_{ell ell}$ is a unique single operator that can offer such a resolution. Our arguments may also be extended to multi-operator scenarios like $U_1$ vector leptoquark, which is known to address multiple anomalies that violate the lepton flavor universality.

The LHCb measurements of the $mu / e$ ratio in $B to K ell ell$ decays $(R_{K^{}})$ indicate a deficit with respect to the Standard Model prediction, supporting earlier hints of lepton universality violation observed in the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ ratio. Possi ble explanations of these $B$-physics anomalies include heavy $Z$ bosons or leptoquarks mediating $b to s mu^+ mu^- $. We note that a muon collider can directly measure this process via $mu^+ mu^- to b bar s$ and can shed light on the lepton non-universality scenario. Investigating currently discussed center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s} = 3$, 6 and 10 TeV, we show that the parameter space of $Z$ and $S_3$ leptoquark solutions to the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomalies can be mostly covered. Effective operators explaining the anomalies can be probed with the muon collider setup $sqrt{s} = 6~{rm TeV}$ and integrated luminosity $L = 4~{rm ab^{-1}}$.
Recently, several $B$-physics experiments have reported an appreciable deviation from the Standard Model (SM) in the tree-level observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$; the combined weighted average now stands at $approx 4 sigma$. We first show the anomaly necessa rily implies model-independent collider signals of the form $pp to b tau u$ that should be expediously searched for at ATLAS/CMS as a complementary test of the anomaly. Next we suggest a possible interconnection of the anomaly with the radiative stability of the Standard Model Higgs boson and point to a minimal effective supersymmetric scenario with $R$-parity violation as the underlying cause. We also comment on the possibility of simultaneously explaining the recently reported $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly in this setup.
The Cabibbo Angle Anomaly (CAA) originates from the disagreement between the CKM elements $V_{ud}$ and $V_{us}$ extracted from superallowed beta and kaon decays, respectively, once compared via CKM unitarity. It points towards new physics with a sign ificance of up to $4,sigma$, depending on the theoretical input used, and can be explained through modified $W$ couplings to leptons. In this context, vector-like leptons (VLLs) are prime candidates for a corresponding UV completion since they can affect $Well u$ couplings at tree-level, such that this modification can have the dominant phenomenological impact. In order to consistently asses the agreement with the data, a global fit is necessary which we perform for gauge-invariant dimension-6 operators and all patterns obtained for the six possible representations (under the SM gauge group) of VLLs. We find that even in the lepton flavour universal case, including the measurements of the CKM elements $V_{us}$ and $V_{ud}$ into the electroweak fit has a relevant impact, shifting the best fit point significantly. Concerning the VLLs we discuss the bounds from charged lepton flavour violating processes and observe that a single representation cannot describe experimental data significantly better than the SM hypothesis. However, allowing for several representations of VLLs at the same time, we find that the simple scenario in which $N$ couples to electrons via the Higgs and $Sigma_1$ couples to muons not only explains the CAA but also improves the rest of the electroweak fit in such a way that its best fit point is preferred by more than $4,sigma$ with respect to the SM.

The singly charged $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar, with its necessarily flavour violating couplings to leptons, lends itself particularly well for an explanation of the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly and of hints for lepton flavour universality violation in $tau to mubar u u$. In a setup addressing both anomalies, we predict loop-induced effects in $tauto egamma$ and in $tau to emumu$. A recast of ATLAS selectron and smuon searches allows us to derive a coupling-independent lower limit of $approx 200$ GeV on the mass of the singly charged singlet scalar. At a future $e^+e^-$ collider, dark matter mono-photon searches could provide a complementary set of bounds.
In addition to the existing strong indications for lepton flavour university violation (LFUV) in low energy precision experiments, CMS recently released an analysis of non-resonant di-lepton pairs which could constitute the first sign of LFUV in high -energy LHC searches. In this article we show that the Cabibbo angle anomaly, an (apparent) violation of first row and column CKM unitarity with $approx3,sigma$ significance, and the CMS result can be correlated and commonly explained in a model independent way by the operator $[Q_{ell q}^{(3)}]_{1111} = (bar{ell}_1gamma^{mu}sigma^Iell_1)(bar{q}_1gamma_{mu}sigma^Iq_1)$. This is possible without violating the bounds from the non-resonant di-lepton search of ATLAS (which interestingly also observed slightly more events than expected in the electron channel) nor from $R(pi)=pi tomu u/pi to e u$. We find a combined preference for the new physics hypothesis of $4.5,sigma$ and predict $1.0004<R(pi)<1.0009$ (95%~CL) which can be tested in the near future with the forthcoming results of the PEN experiment.
