Description
We explore $U(1)_{L_e-L_\mu}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model with particle content enlarged by three neutral fermions, of which the lightest one contributes to dark matter content of the Universe. The scalar sector is enriched with a $\tilde{R}_2$ scalar leptoquark doublet to investigate flavor anomalies in $B$-meson sector and a scalar singlet to spontaneously break the new $U(1)$. We discuss dark matter relic density and direct detection cross section in scalar and gauge portals.
On the other hand, the new physics contribution for $b \to s$ transition comes from penguin diagrams with $Z^\prime$, leptoquark and new fermions. We analyze the constraints on the model parameters from the established observables of $B \to K^{(*)} \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $B_s\to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay channels. Utilizing the permissible parameter space consistent with both flavor and dark sectors, we discuss the impact on various observables such as branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry and longitudinal polarisation asymmetry of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda ^* (1520) (\to pK) \ell ^+\ell ^-$ decay channel.
