The deviation of the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the standard model prediction can be completely explained by mixing of the muon with extra vectorlike leptons, L and E, near the electroweak scale. This mixing simultaneously contributes to the muon mass. We show that the correlation between contributions to the muon mass and muon g-2 is controlled by the mass of the neutrino originating from the doublet L. Positive correlation, simultaneously explaining both measured values, requires this mass below 200 GeV. The decay rate of the Higgs boson to muon pairs is modified and, in the region of the parameter space that can explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment within one standard deviation, it ranges from 0.5 to 24 times the standard model prediction. In the same scenario, $h to gamma gamma$ can be enhanced or lowered by ~50% from the standard model prediction. The explanation of the muon g-2 anomaly and predictions for $h to gamma gamma$ are not correlated since these are controlled by independent parameters. This scenario can be embedded in a model with three complete vectorlike families featuring gauge coupling unification, sufficiently stable proton, and the Higgs quartic coupling remaining positive all the way to the grand unification scale.
The mixing of new vectorlike leptons with leptons in the standard model can generate flavor violating couplings of $h$, $W$ and $Z$ between heavy and light leptons. Focusing on the couplings of the muon, the partial decay width of $hto e_4^pm mu^mp$, where $e_4$ is the new lepton, can be significant when this process is kinematically allowed. Subsequent decays $e_4^pm to Zmu^pm$ and $e_4^pm to W^pm u$ lead to the same final states as $h to ZZ^* to Z mu^+mu^-$ and $h to WW^* to W mu u$, thus possibly affecting measurements of these processes. We calculate $hto e_4 ell_i to Zell_iell_j$, where $ell_{i,j}$ are standard model leptons, including the possibility of off-shell decays, interference with $hto ZZ^* to Z ell_i ell_i$, and the mass effect of $ell_{i,j}$ which are important when the mass of $e_4$ is close to the mass of the Higgs boson. We derive constraints on masses and couplings of the heavy lepton from the measurement of $hto 4ell$. We focus on the couplings of the muon and discuss possible effects on $hto ZZ^*$ from the region of parameters that can explain the anomaly in the measurement of the muon g-2.
The discrepancy between the measured value and the Standard Model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is one of the important issues in the particle physics. In this paper, we consider a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) where the extra Higgs doublet couples to muon and tau in lepton flavor violating (LFV) way and the one-loop correction involving the scalars largely contributes to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The couplings should be sizable to explain the discrepancy, so that the extra Higgs bosons would dominantly decay into $mutau$ LFV modes, which makes the model testable at the LHC through multi-lepton signatures even though they are produced via the electroweak interaction. We discuss the current status and the future prospect for the extra Higgs searches at the LHC, and demonstrate the reconstruction of the mass spectrum using the multi-lepton events.
The long-standing muon $g-2$ anomaly has been confirmed recently at the Fermilab. The combined discrepancy from Fermilab and Brookhaven results shows a difference from the theory at a significance of 4.2 $sigma$. In addition, the LHC has updated the lower mass bound of a pure wino. In this letter, we study to what extent the $g-2$ can be explained in anomaly mediation scenarios, where the pure wino is the dominant dark matter component. To this end, we derive some model-independent constraints on the particle spectra and $g-2$. We find that the $g-2$ explanation at the 1$sigma$ level is driven into a corner if the higgsino threshold correction is suppressed. On the contrary, if the threshold correction is sizable, the $g-2$ can be explained. In the whole viable parameter region, the gluino mass is at most $2-4,$TeV, the bino mass is at most $2,$TeV, and the wino dark matter mass is at most $1-2,$TeV. If the muon $g-2$ anomaly is explained in the anomaly mediation scenarios, colliders and indirect search for the dark matter may find further pieces of evidence in the near future. Possible UV models for the large threshold corrections are discussed.
The Fermilab Muon $g-2$ collaboration recently announced the first result of measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g-2$), which confirmed the previous result at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and thus the discrepancy with its Standard Model prediction. We revisit low-scale supersymmetric models that are naturally capable to solve the muon $g-2$ anomaly, focusing on two distinct scenarios: chargino-contribution dominated and pure-bino-contribution dominated scenarios. It is shown that the slepton pair-production searches have excluded broad parameter spaces for both two scenarios, but they are not closed yet. For the chargino-dominated scenario, the models with $m_{tilde{mu}_{rm L}}gtrsim m_{tilde{chi}^{pm}_1}$ are still widely allowed. For the bino-dominated scenario, we find that, although slightly non-trivial, the region with low $tan beta$ with heavy higgsinos is preferred. In the case of universal slepton masses, the low mass regions with $m_{tilde{mu}}lesssim 230$ GeV can explain the $g-2$ anomaly while satisfying the LHC constraints. Furthermore, we checked that the stau-bino coannihilation works properly to realize the bino thermal relic dark matter. We also investigate heavy staus case for the bino-dominated scenario, where the parameter region that can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly is stretched to $m_{tilde{mu}}lesssim 1.3$ TeV.
The present work introduces new scalar and fermionic degrees of freedom to the Standard Model. While the scalar sector is augmented by a complex scalar triplet and a doubly charged scalar singlet, the fermionic sector is extended by two copies of vector-like leptons. Of these, one copy is an $SU(2)_L$ singlet while the other, an $SU(2)_L$ doublet. We explain how this combination can pose a solution to the muon g-2 anomaly and also lead to non-zero neutrino masses. In addition, it is also shown that the parameter regions compliant with the two aforementioned issues can stabilise the electroweak vacuum till the Planck scale, something not possible within the Standard Model alone.
