A massive, but light abelian U(1) gauge boson is a well motivated possible signature of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In this paper, the search for the signal of such a U(1) gauge boson in electron-positron pair-production at the spectrometer setup of the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) is described. Exclusion limits in the mass range of 40 MeV up to 300 MeV with a sensitivity in the mixing parameter of down to $epsilon^2 = 8times 10^{-7}$ are presented. A large fraction of the parameter space has been excluded where the discrepancy of the measured anomalous magnetic moment of the muon with theory might be explained by an additional U(1) gauge boson.

We argue that a large region of so far unconstrained parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs), where their couplings to the Standard Model are of order $(0.01!-!1),mbox{TeV}^{-1}$, can be explored by searches for the exotic Higgs decays $hto Za$ and $hto aa$ in Run-2 of the LHC. Almost the complete region in which ALPs can explain the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be probed by searches for these decays with subsequent decay $atogammagamma$, even if the relevant couplings are loop suppressed and the $atogammagamma$ branching ratio is less than~1.
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 muon anomalous magnetic moment measurement has, for more than a decade, been a long-standing anomaly hinting the physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The recently announced results from muon $g-2$ collaboration, corresponding to 3.3$sigma$ deviation from Standard Model value (4.2$sigma$ in combination with previous measurement) are strengthening the need for new physics coupled to muons. In this letter, we propose a novel scenario in which Standard Model (SM) is augmented by an axion-like particle (ALP) and vector-like fermions. We find that such a model admits an excellent interpretation of recent muon $g-2$ measurement through quantum process featuring ALP interacting with muons and newly introduced fermions. Previously proposed explanations with ALPs utilize interactions with photons and/or SM fermions. Therefore, in this letter we complement and extend such scenarios. We also discuss collider prospects for the model as well as the possibility that ALP is long lived or stable dark matter (DM) candidate.
We report the results of a search for a new vector boson ($A$) decaying into two dark matter particles $chi_1 chi_2$ of different mass. The heavier $chi_2$ particle subsequently decays to $chi_1$ and $A to e^- e^+$. For a sufficiently large mass splitting, this model can explain in terms of new physics the recently confirmed discrepancy observed in the muon anomalous magnetic moment at Fermilab. Remarkably, it also predicts the observed yield of thermal dark matter relic abundance. A detailed Monte-Carlo simulation was used to determine the signal yield and detection efficiency for this channel in the NA64 setup. The results were obtained re-analyzing the previous NA64 searches for an invisible decay $Ato chi overline{chi}$ and axion-like or pseudo-scalar particles $a to gamma gamma$. With this method, we exclude a significant portion of the parameter space justifying the muon g-2 anomaly and being compatible with the observed dark matter relic density for $A$ masses from 2$m_e$ up to 390 MeV and mixing parameter $epsilon$ between $3times10^{-5}$ and $2times10^{-2}$.
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.
