PHYSICS LETTERS B, Volume 751, pp. 54 - 58 (5). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2015.10.0100370-26931873-2445https://hdl.handle.net/2144/40028We present a model for calculating charged-lepton mixing matrices. These matrices are an essential ingredient for predicting lepton flavor-violating rates in the lepton number nonuniversal models recently proposed to explain anomalies in B-meson decays. The model is based on work on “constrained flavor breaking” by Appelquist, Bai and Piai relating the charged-lepton mass matrix, ℳ𝓁, to those for the up- and down-type quarks, ℳ𝓊,𝒹. We use our recent model of lepton nonuniversality to illustrate the magnitudes of flavor-violating B-decay rates that might be expected. Decays with μτ final states generally have the highest rates by far.p. 54 - 58en-USThis is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons CC-BY license, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Science & technologyPhysical sciencesAstronomy & astrophysicsPhysics, nuclearPhysics, particles & fieldsNuclear & particles physicsAtomic, molecular, nuclear, particle and plasma physicsAstronomical and space sciencesMathematical physicsArticle10.1016/j.physletb.2015.10.0100000-0001-8281-5438 (Lane, Kenneth)42038
