HyperIso: A general BSM calculator for flavour observables

We present HyperIso, a new standalone program for the evaluation of flavour physics observables across a wide variety of Standard Model (SM) and Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) scenarios. The code builds on the physics heritage of SuperIso, but is implemented as a new modular software package with a modern C++ core and multiple user interfaces. In addition to native implementations for established scenarios such as the SM, the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (THDM), and supersymmetric models, HyperIso interfaces with the MARTY framework to compute automatically BSM Wilson coefficients at leading order. This design makes it possible to study user-defined BSM models while keeping the observable calculation, uncertainty propagation and statistical interpretation in a common backend. The software provides C++, Python, command-line and graphical interfaces. It supports the evaluation of key observables such as the branching ratios and, where available, angular observables, for radiative, leptonic, and semileptonic B decays, as well as for the relevant kaon and D-meson decays, together with the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2). The inputs can be provided through JSON/YAML configuration files and Les Houches Accord files, either supplied by the user or generated by external spectrum calculators. HyperIso therefore provides a flexible and extensible tool for flavour studies, phenomenological scans and the validation of BSM scenarios.

Leptonic flavour transfer: a new window on flavour gauge symmetries

New flavour non-abelian gauge groups, which may arise as part of a fundamental theory of flavour, can lead to distinctive flavour-transfer processes. When restricted to the lepton sector, such processes partially mimic the standard charged current interactions at low energy. We explicitly study such constructions with various flavour structures, and investigate systematically all relevant accelerator-based constraints, exploring specific experimental signatures for these models. In the absence of flavour-breaking spurions, constraints from heavy lepton lifetime are found to dominate over most of the parameter space, with specific parts still open for future ee-collider searches. Numerical predictions are obtained using the \texttt{MARTY} framework, allowing us to consistently explore both the light- and heavy-mediator regimes. Finally, using \darkpack, we also assessed that extensions of such models could be compatible with dark matter relic density bounds.
