Several experiments revealed intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating new physics (NP) in semi-leptonic B meson decays, mainly in b → cτν and b → sl+l− transitions at the 3 − 5 σ level. Leptoquarks (LQ) are prime candidates to address these anomalies as they contribute to semi-leptonic decays already at tree level while effects in other flavor observables, agreeing with the standard model (SM), are loop suppressed.
In these proceedings we review the vector leptoquark SU(2)L singlet, contained in the famous Pati-Salam model, which is able to address both b → cτν and b → sμ+μ− data simultaneously. Due to the large couplings to tau leptons needed to account for the b → cτν data, sizable loop effects arise which we include in our phenomenological analysis. Updating our result of Ref. [1] with the recent measurements of LHCb [2] and BELLE [3, 4] we find an even better fit to data than before.
