In this work we compute all contributions to the muon magnetic moment stemming from several 3-3-1 models namely, minimal 331, 331 with right handed neutrinos, 331 with heavy neutral leptons, 331 with charged exotic leptons, 331 economical and 331 with two higgs triplets. Further, we exploit the complementarity among current electroweak, dark matter and collider constraints to outline the relevant parameter space of the models capable of explaining the anomaly. Lastly, assuming that the experimental anomaly has been otherwise resolved, we derive robust $1sigma$ bounds using the current and projected measurements.
We propose an anomaly free unified scenario by invocation of an extra local ${rm U(1)}_{L_{mu}-L_{tau}}$ gauge symmetry. This scenario simultaneously resolves the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomalies, the dark matter puzzle and the long-standing discrepancy in muons anomalous magnetic moment. A complex scalar ($eta$) having nonzero ${L_{mu}-L_{tau}}$ charge has been introduced to break this new U(1) symmetry spontaneously. Moreover, for the purpose of studying dark matter phenomenology and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomalies in a correlated manner, we introduce an inert ${rm SU(2)}_L$ scalar doublet ($Phi$), a $mathbb{Z}_2$-odd real singlet scalar ($S$) and a $mathbb{Z}_2$-odd coloured fermion ($chi$) which transforms vectorially under the ${rm U(1)}_{L_{mu}-L_{tau}}$ symmetry. This extra gauge symmetry provides a new gauge boson $Z_{mutau}$ which not only gives additional contribution to both $bto s ellell$ transition and $(g-2)_{mu}$ but also provides a crucial annihilation channel for dark matter candidate $rho_1$ of the present scenario. This $rho_1$ is an admixture of CP-even neutral component of $Phi$ and $S$. Our analysis shows that the low mass dark matter regime ($M_{rho_1}lesssim 60$ GeV) is still allowed by the experiments like XENON1T, LHC (via Higgs invisible branching) and Fermi-LAT, making the dark matter phenomenology drastically different from the standard Inert Doublet and the Scalar Singlet models. Furthermore, the present model is also fairly consistent with the observed branching ratio of $Bto X_sgamma$ in $3sigma$ range and is quite capable of explaining neutrino masses and mixings via Type-I seesaw mechanism if we add three right handed neutrinos in the particle spectrum. Finally, we use the latest ATLAS data of non-observation of a resonant $ell^+ell^-$ signal at the 13 TeV LHC to constrain the mass-coupling plane of $Z_{mutau}$.
We construct models with minimal field content that can simultaneously explain the muon g-2 anomaly and give the correct dark matter relic abundance. These models fall into two general classes, whether or not the new fields couple to the Higgs. For the general structure of models without new Higgs couplings, we provide analytical expressions that only depend on the $SU(2)_L$ representation. These results allow to demonstrate that only few models in this class can simultaneously explain $(g-2)_mu$ and account for the relic abundance. The experimental constraints and perturbativity considerations exclude all such models, apart from a few fine-tuned regions in the parameter space, with new states in the few 100 GeV range. In the models with new Higgs couplings, the new states can be parametrically heavier by a factor $sqrt{1/y_mu}$, with $y_mu$ the muon Yukawa coupling, resulting in masses for the new states in the TeV regime. At present these models are not well constrained experimentally, which we illustrate on two representative examples.
We show that a discrete exchange symmetry can give rise to realistic dark matter candidates in models with warped extra dimensions. We show how to realize our construction in a variety of models with warped extra dimensions and study in detail a realistic model of Gauge-Higgs Unification/composite Higgs in which the observed amount of dark matter is naturally reproduced. In this model, a realistic pattern of electroweak symmetry breaking typically occurs in a region of parameter space in which the fit to the electroweak precision observables improves, the Higgs is heavier than the experimental bound and new light quark resonances are predicted. We also quantify the fine-tuning of such scenarios, and discuss in which sense Gauge-Higgs Unification models result in a natural theory of electroweak symmetry breaking.
Motivated by the recently improved lattice QCD results on the hadronic matrix elements entering $Delta M_{s,d}$ in $B_{s,d}^0-bar B_{s,d}^0$ mixings and the resulting increased tensions between $Delta M_{s,d}$ and $varepsilon_K$ in the Standard Model and CMFV models, we demonstrate that these tensions can be removed in 331 models based on the gauge group $SU(3)_Ctimes SU(3)_Ltimes U(1)_X$ both for $M_{Z^prime}$ in the LHC reach and well beyond it. But the implied new physics (NP) patterns in $Delta F=1$ observables depend sensitively on the value of $|V_{cb}|$. Concentrating the analysis on three 331 models that have been selected by us previously on the basis of their performance in electroweak precision tests and $varepsilon^prime/varepsilon$ we illustrate this for $|V_{cb}|=0.042$ and $|V_{cb}|=0.040$. We find that these new lattice data still allow for positive shifts in $varepsilon^prime/varepsilon$ up to $6times 10^{-4}$ for $M_{Z^prime}=3~TeV$ for both values of $$|V_{cb}|$ but for $M_{Z^prime}=10~TeV$ only for $|V_{cb}|=0.040$ such shifts can be obtained. NP effects in $B_stomu^+mu^-$ and in the Wilson coefficient $C_9$ are significantly larger in all three models for the case of $|V_{cb}|=0.040$. In particular in two models the rate for $B_stomu^+mu^-$ can be reduced by NP by $20%$ for $M_{Z^prime}=3~TeV$ resulting in values in the ballpark of central values from CMS and LHCb. In the third model a shift in $C_9$ up to $C_9^text{NP}=-0.5$ is possible. We also consider the simplest 331 model, analyzed recently in the literature, in which $X=Y$, the usual hypercharge. We find that in this model NP effects in flavour observables are much smaller than in the three models with $X ot=Y$, in particular NP contributions to the ratio $varepsilon^prime/varepsilon$ are very strongly suppressed.
We revisit the theory and phenomenology of scalar electroweak multiplet thermal dark matter. We derive the most general, renormalizable scalar potential, assuming the presence of the Standard Model Higgs doublet, $H$, and an electroweak multiplet $Phi$ of arbitrary SU(2$)_L$ rank and hypercharge, $Y$. We show that, in general, the $Phi$-$H$ Higgs portal interactions depend on three, rather than two independent couplings as has been previously considered in the literature. For the phenomenologically viable case of $Y=0$ multiplets, we focus on the septuplet and quintuplet cases, and consider the interplay of relic density and spin-independent direct detection cross section. We show that both the relic density and direct detection cross sections depend on a single linear combination of Higgs portal couplings, $lambda_{rm eff}$. For $lambda_{rm eff}sim mathcal{O}(1)$, present direct detection exclusion limits imply that the neutral component of a scalar electroweak multiplet would comprise a subdominant fraction of the observed DM relic density.
