B Anomalies and Leptoquarks at the LHC: Beyond the Lepton-Quark Final State

Understand

Leptoquarks provide some of the simplest explanations to the hints of lepton flavor non-universality in $B$ decays.

• In particular, a new confining gauge group can provide a natural and appealing origin for the leptoquarks.
• So far, direct collider searches have been based on two body decays, namely to a quark and a lepton.
• We study how composite dynamics can give rise to additional states resulting in modified collider signatures of leptoquarks, as well as new production modes in cascade decays of heavier states.
