Abstract
We revisit a class of explanations of the anomalies found by the LHCb collaboration in decays, and show that the scenario is tightly constrained by a combination of constraints: (i) LHC searches for dimuon resonances, (ii) perturbativity of the couplings; (iii) the mass difference, and (iv) electroweak precision data. Solutions are found by suppressing the coupling to electrons and to light quarks and/or by allowing for a decay width into dark matter. We also present a simplified framework where a TeV-scale gauge boson that couples to standard leptons as well as to new heavy vectorlike leptons, can simultaneously accommodate the LHCb anomalies and the muon anomaly.
