In general two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) without scalar flavour changing neutral couplings (SFCNC) in the lepton sector, the electron, muon and tau interactions can be decoupled in a robust framework, stable under renormalization group evolution. In this framework, the breaking of lepton flavour universality (LFU) goes beyond the mass proportionality, opening the possibility to accommodate a different behaviour among charged leptons. We analyze the electron and muon $(g-2)$ anomalies in the context of these general flavour conserving models in the leptonic sector (g$ell$FC). We consider two different models, I-g$ell$FC and II-g$ell$FC, in which the quark Yukawa couplings coincide, respectively, with the ones in type I and in type II 2HDMs. We find two types of solutions that fully reproduce both $(g-2)$ anomalies, and which are compatible with experimental constraints from LEP and LHC, from LFU, from flavour and electroweak physics, and with theoretical constraints in the scalar sector. In the first type of solution, all the new scalars have masses in the 1--2.5 TeV range, the vacuum expectation values (vevs) of both doublets are quite similar in magnitude, and both anomalies are dominated by two loop Barr-Zee contributions. This solution appears in both models. In a second type of solution, one loop contributions are dominant in the muon anomaly, all new scalars have masses below 1 TeV, and the ratio of vevs is in the range 10--100. The second neutral scalar $H$ is the lighter among the new scalars, with a mass in the 210--390 GeV range while the pseudoscalar $A$ is the heavier, with a mass in the range 400--900 GeV. The new charged scalar $H^pm$ is almost degenerate either with the scalar or with the pseudoscalar. This second type of solution only appears in the I-g$ell$FC model. Both solutions require the soft breaking of the $mathbb{Z}_{2}$ symmetry of the Higgs potential.

We perform a phenomenological analysis of simplified models of light, feebly interacting particles (FIPs) that can provide a combined explanation of the anomalies in $bto s l^+ l ^-$ transitions at LHCb and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Different scenarios are categorised according to the explicit momentum dependence of the FIP coupling to the $b-s$ and $mu-mu$ vector currents and they are subject to several constraints from flavour and precision physics. We show that a phenomenologically viable combined solution to the muon $g-2$ and flavour anomalies always exists if a vector with mass larger than $4 ,textrm{GeV}$ is exchanged. Interestingly, the LHC has the potential to probe this region of the parameter space by increasing the precision of the $Zto 4mu$ cross-section measurement. Conversely, we find that solutions based on the exchange of a lighter vector, in the $m_V < 1,textrm{GeV}$ range, are essentially excluded by a combination of $Bto K +textrm{invisible}$ and $W$-decay precision bounds.
Data from the Muon g-2 experiment and measurements of the fine structure constant suggest that the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and electron are at odds with standard model expectations. We survey the ability of axion-like-particles, two-Higgs-doublet models and leptoquarks to explain the discrepancies. We find that accounting for other constraints, all scenarios except the Type-I, Type-II and Type-Y two-Higgs-doublet models fit the data well.
In the minimal Standard Model (SM) with four generations (the so called SM4) and in standard two Higgs doublets model (2HDM) setups, e.g., the type II 2HDM with four fermion generations, the contribution of the 4th family heavy leptons to the muon magnetic moment is suppressed and cannot accommodate the measured $ sim 3 sigma$ access with respect to the SM prediction. We show that in a 2HDM for the 4th generation (the 4G2HDM), which we view as a low energy effective theory for dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, with one of the Higgs doublets coupling only to the 4th family leptons and quarks (thus effectively addressing their large masses), the loop exchanges of the heavy 4th generation neutrino can account for the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We also discuss the sensitivity of the lepton flavor violating decays $mu to e gamma$ and $tau to mu gamma$ and of the decay $B_s to mu mu$ to the new couplings which control the muon g-2 in our model.
We show that one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model, the addition of a second Higgs doublet, when combined with a dark sector singlet scalar, allows us to: $i)$ explain the long-standing anomalies in the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) and MiniBooNE (MB) while maintaining compatibility with the null result from KARMEN, $ii)$ obtain, in the process, a portal to the dark sector, and $iii)$ comfortably account for the observed value of the muon $g-2$. Three singlet neutrinos allow for an understanding of observed neutrino mass-squared differences via a Type I seesaw, with two of the lighter states participating in the interaction in both LSND and MB. We obtain very good fits to energy and angular distributions in both experiments. We explain features of the solution presented here and discuss the constraints that our model must satisfy. We also mention prospects for future tests of its particle content.
According to the FNAL+BNL measurements for the muon $g-2$ and the Berkeley $^{133}$Cs measurement for the electron $g-2$, the SM prediction for the muon (electron) $g-2$ is $4.2sigma$ ($2.4sigma$) below (above) the experimental value. A joint explanation requires a positive contribution to the muon $g-2$ and a negative contribution to the electron $g-2$. In this work we explore the possibility of such a joint explanation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Assuming no universality between smuon and selectron soft masses, we find out a part of parameter space for a joint explanation of muon and electron $g-2$ anomalies at $2sigma$ level. This part of parameter space can survive the LHC and LEP constraints, but gives an over-abundance for the dark matter if the bino-like lightest neutralino is assumed to be the dark matter candidate. With the assumption that the dark matter candidate is a superWIMP (say a pseudo-goldstino in multi-sector SUSY breaking scenarios, whose mass can be as light as GeV and produced from the late-dacay of the thermally freeze-out lightest neutralino), the dark matter problem can be avoided. So, the MSSM may give a joint explanation for the muon and electron $g-2$ anomalies at $2sigma$ level (the muon $g-2$ anomaly can be ameliorated to $1sigma$).
