Implications for Electric Dipole Moments of a Leptoquark Scenario for the $B$-Physics Anomalies

Understand

Vector leptoquarks can address the lepton flavor universality anomalies in decays associated with the $b \to c \ell \nu$ and $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions, as observed in recent years.

• Generically, these leptoquarks yield new sources of CP violation.
• In this paper, we explore constraints and discovery potential for electric dipole moments (EDMs) in leptonic and hadronic systems.
• We provide the most generic expressions for dipole moments induced by vector leptoquarks at one loop.
