abstract
We explore scenarios where the $R(D^{(*)})$ anomalies arise from semitauonic decays to a right-handed sterile neutrino. We perform an EFT study of all five simplified models capable of generating at tree-level the lowest dimension electroweak operators that give rise to this decay. We analyze their compatibility with current $R(D^{(*)})$ data and other relevant hadronic branching ratios, and show that one simplified model is excluded by this analysis. The remainder are compatible with collider constraints on the mediator semileptonic branching ratios, provided the mediator mass is of order TeV. We also discuss the phenomenology of the sterile neutrino itself, which includes possibilities for displaced decays at colliders and direct searches, measurable dark radiation, and gamma ray signals.

QCD corrections to charged-current decays with Heavy Sterile Neutrinos in initial or final state and their impact on $\tau$ decays
New O(α_s^4) formulas for N→τ+hadrons and τ→N+hadrons give |sinθ| ≤ 0.2 at m_N ≈ 600 MeV and a marginal (9.1^{+3.7}_{−7.8})×10⁻² mixing hint from τ→πν and τ→Kν data.

Heavy quark symmetry behind $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule
In the heavy quark limit, the differential decay rates of B to D, B to D*, and Lambda_b to Lambda_c with tau leptons satisfy an exact sum rule independent of new physics, with corrections quantified for realistic mass...

New physics searches via angular distributions of $ \bar{B} \to D^* (\to D \pi) \tau (\to \ell \nu_\tau \bar{\nu}_\ell) \bar{\nu}_\tau$ decays
Introduces a reconstructible angular distribution for B to D* tau nu decays via tau to lepton chain to extract new physics parameters, projecting 5-6% sensitivities from simulation and lattice form factors.

New Physics effects with right-handed neutrinos in semileptonic decay $B_c^+ \to B_s \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$
Right-handed neutrino operators constrained by charm data are predicted to shift the lepton polarization asymmetry and convexity in B_c -> B_s mu nu away from the Standard Model, offering a way to distinguish new phys...
