Models of gauged $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ can provide a solution to the long-standing discrepancy between the theoretical prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment and its measured value. The extra contribution is due to a new light vector mediator, which also helps to alleviate an existing tension in the determination of the Hubble parameter. In this article, we explore ways to probe this solution via the scattering of solar neutrinos with electrons and nuclei in a range of experiments and considering high and low solar metallicity scenarios. In particular, we reevaluate Borexino constraints on neutrino-electron scattering, finding them to be more stringent than previously reported, and already excluding a part of the $(g-2)_mu$ explanation with mediator masses smaller than $2times10^{-2}$ GeV. We then show that future direct dark matter detectors will be able to probe most of the remaining solution. Due to its large exposure, LUX-ZEPLIN will explore regions with mediator masses up to $5times10^{-2}$ GeV and DARWIN will be able to extend the search beyond $10^{-1}$ GeV, thereby covering most of the area compatible with $(g-2)_mu$. For completeness, we have also computed the constraints derived from the recent XENON1T electron recoil search and from the CENNS-10 LAr detector, showing that none of them excludes new areas of the parameter space. Should the excess in the muon anomalous magnetic moment be confirmed, our work suggests that direct detection experiments could provide crucial information with which to test the $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ solution, complementary to efforts in neutrino experiments and accelerators.

Gauged $U(1)_{L_mu - L_tau}$ model has been advocated for a long time in light of muon $g-2$ anomaly, which is a more than $3sigma$ discrepancy between the experimental measurement and the standard model prediction. We augment this model with three right-handed neutrinos $(N_e, N_mu, N_tau)$ and a vector-like singlet fermion $(chi)$ to explain simultaneously the non-zero neutrino mass and dark matter content of the Universe, while satisfying anomalous muon $g-2$ constraints. It is shown that in a large parameter space of this model we can explain positron excess, observed at PAMELA, Fermi-LAT and AMS-02, through dark matter annihilation, while satisfying the relic density and direct detection constraints.
As experimental null results increase the pressure on heavy weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) as an explanation of thermal dark matter (DM), it seems timely to explore previously overlooked regions of the WIMP parameter space. In this work we extend the minimal gauged $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ model studied in cite{Bauer:2018onh} by a light (MeV-scale) vector-like fermion $chi$. Taking into account constraints from cosmology, direct and indirect detection we find that the standard benchmark of $M_V=3 m_chi$ for DM coupled to a vector mediator is firmly ruled out for unit DM charges. However, exploring the near-resonance region $M_Vgtrsim 2 m_chi$ we find that this model can simultaneously explain the DM relic abundance $Omega h^2 =0.12$ and the $(g-2)_mu$ anomaly. Allowing for small charge hierarchies of $lesssimmathcal{O}(10)$, we identify a second window of parameter space in the few-GeV region, where $chi$ can account for the full DM relic density.
We consider a gauged $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ extension of the left-right symmetric theory in order to simultaneously explain neutrino mass, mixing and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We get sizeable contribution from the interaction of the new light gauge boson $Z_{mutau}$ of the $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ symmetry with muons which can individually satisfy the current bounds on muon $(g-2)$ anomaly ($Delta a_mu$). The other positive contributions to $Delta a_mu$ come from the interactions of singly charged gauge bosons $W_L$, $W_R$ with heavy neutral fermions and that of neutral CP-even scalars with muons. The interaction of $W_L$ with heavy neutrino is facilitated by inverse seesaw mechanism which allows large light-heavy neutrino mixing and explains neutrino mass in our model. CP-even scalars with mass around few hundreds GeV can also satisfy the entire current muon anomaly bound. The results show that the model gives a small but non-negligible contribution to $Delta a_mu$ thereby eliminating the entire deviation in theoretical prediction and experimental result of muon $(g-2)$ anomaly. We have briefly presented a comparative study for symmetric and asymmetric left-right symmetric model in context of various contribution to $Delta a_mu$. We also discuss how the generation of neutrino mass is affected when left-right symmetry breaks down to Standard Model symmetry via various choices of scalars.
We consider right-handed neutrino dark matter $N_1$ in local $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$-extended Ma model. With the light $U(1)_{mu-tau}$ gauge boson ($m_{Z} sim {cal O}(100)$ MeV) and small $U(1)_{mu-tau}$ gauge coupling ($g_{Z}sim 10^{-4}-10^{-3}$) which can accommodate the muon $(g-2)$ anomaly and is still allowed by other experimental constraints, we show that we can get correct relic density of dark matter for wide range of dark matter mass ($M_1 sim 10-100$ GeV), although the gauge coupling constant $g_{Z}$ is small. This is due to the fact that the annihilation cross section of dark matter pair is enhanced by $M_1^4/m_{Z}^4$ in the processes $N_1 N_1 to Z Z$ or $N_1 N_1 to Z H_2$. We also consider the constraints from direct detection, collider searches.
We study an Abelian gauge extension of the standard model with fermion families having non-universal gauge charges. The gauge charges and scalar content are chosen in such an anomaly-free way that only the third generation fermions receive Dirac masses via renormalisable couplings with the Higgs boson. Incorporating additional vector like fermions and scalars with appropriate $U(1)$ charges can lead to radiative Dirac masses of first two generations with neutral fermions going in the loop being dark matter candidates. Focusing on radiative muon mass, we constrain the model from the requirement of satisfying muon mass, recently measured muon anomalous magnetic moment by the E989 experiment at Fermilab along with other experimental bounds including the large hadron collider (LHC) limits. The anomalous Higgs coupling to muon is constrained from the LHC measurements of Higgs to dimuon decay. The singlet fermion dark matter phenomenology is discussed showing the importance of both annihilation and coannihilation effects. Incorporating all bounds lead to a constrained parameter space which can be probed at different experiments.
