Recently, the LHCb collaboration has reported the excesses in the $b to s ll$ processes. One of the promising candidates for new physics to explain the anomalies is the extended Standard Model (SM) with vector-like quarks and leptons. In that model, Yukawa couplings between the extra fermions and SM fermions are introduced, adding extra scalars. Then, the box diagrams involving the extra fields achieve the $b to s ll$ anomalies. It has been known that the excesses require the large Yukawa couplings of leptons, so that this kind of model can be tested by studying correlations with other observables. In this paper, we consider the extra scalar to be a dark matter (DM) candidate, and investigate DM physics as well as the flavor physics and the LHC physics. The DM relic density and the direct-detection cross section are also dominantly given by the Yukawa couplings, so that we find some explicit correlations between DM physics and the flavor physics. In particular, we find the predictions of the $b to s ll$ anomalies against the direct detection of DM.

We study renormalisable models with minimal field content that can provide a viable Dark Matter candidate through the standard freeze-out paradigm and, simultaneously, accommodate the observed anomalies in semileptonic $B$-meson decays at one loop. F ollowing the hypothesis of minimality, this outcome can be achieved by extending the particle spectrum of the Standard Model either with one vector-like fermion and two scalars or two vector-like fermions and one scalar. The Dark Matter annihilations are mediated by $t$-channel exchange of other new particles contributing to the $B$-anomalies, thus resulting in a correlation between flavour observables and Dark Matter abundance. Again based on minimality, we assume the new states to couple only with left-handed muons and second and third generation quarks. Besides an ad hoc symmetry needed to stabilise the Dark Matter, the interactions of the new states are dictated only by gauge invariance. We present here for the first time a systematic classification of the possible models of this kind, according to the quantum numbers of the new fields under the Standard Model gauge group. Within this general setup we identify a group of representative models that we systematically study, applying the most updated constraints from flavour observables, dedicated Dark Matter experiments, and LHC searches of leptons and/or jets and missing energy, and of disappearing charged tracks.
In the light of the recent result of the Muon g-2 experiment and the update on the test of lepton flavour universality $R_K$ published by the LHCb collaboration, we systematically build and discuss a set of models with minimal field content that can simultaneously give: (i) a thermal Dark Matter candidate; (ii) large loop contributions to $bto sellell$ processes able to address $R_K$ and the other $B$ anomalies; (iii) a natural solution to the muon $g-2$ discrepancy through chirally-enhanced contributions.
We investigate the implications of the latest LHCb measurement of $R_K$ for NP explanations of the $B$ anomalies. The previous data could be explained if the $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ NP is in (I) $C_{9,{rm NP}}^{mumu}$ or (II) $C_{9,{rm NP}}^{mumu} = -C_{1 0,{rm NP}}^{mumu}$, with scenario (I) providing a better explanation than scenario (II). This continues to hold with the new measurement of $R_K$. However, for both scenarios, this measurement leads to a slight tension of $O(1sigma)$ between separate fits to the $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ data. In this paper, we investigate whether this tension can be alleviated with the addition of NP in $b to s e^+ e^-$. In particular, we examine the effect of adding such NP to scenarios (I) and (II). We find several scenarios in which this leads to improvements in the fits. $Z$ and LQ models with contributions to both $b to s mu^+ mu^-$ and $b to s e^+ e^-$ can reproduce the data, but only within scenarios based on (II). If the tension persists in future measurements, it may be necessary to consider NP models with more than one particle contributing to $b to s ell^+ ell^-$.

We present a brief update of our model-independent analyses of the b->s data presented in the articles published in Phys. Rev. D96 (2017) 095034 and Phys. Rev. D98 (2018) 095027 based on new data on R_K by LHCb, on R_{K^*} by Belle, and on B_{s,d}-> mu^+ mu^- by ATLAS.

We develop a rigorous, semi-analytical method for maximizing any $bto ctau u$ observable in the full 20-real-dimensional parameter space of the dimension 6 effective Hamiltonian, given some fixed values of $R_{D^{(*)}}$. We apply our method to find t he maximum allowed values of $F^L_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/psi}$, two observables which have both come out higher than their SM predictions in recent measurements by the Belle and LHCb collaborations. While the measurements still have large error bars, they add to the existing $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomaly, and it is worthwhile to consider NP explanations. It has been shown that none of the existing, minimal models in the literature can explain the observed values of $F^L_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/psi}$. Using our method, we will generalize beyond the minimal models and show that there is no combination of dimension 6 Wilson operators that can come within $1sigma$ of the observed $R_{J/psi}$ value. By contrast, we will show that the observed value of $F^L_{D^*}$ can be achieved, but only with sizable contributions from tensor and mixed-chirality vector Wilson coefficients.
