Muon g−2 and searches for a new leptophobic sub-GeV dark boson in a missing-energy experiment at CERN
@article{Gninenko2014MuonGA, title={Muon g−2 and searches for a new leptophobic sub-GeV dark boson in a missing-energy experiment at CERN}, author={Sergei Gninenko and N. V. Krasnikov and Viktor A. Matveev}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2014}, volume={91}, pages={095015} }
The 3.6 \sigma discrepancy between the predicted and measured values of the anomalous magnetic moment of positive muons can be explained by the existence of a new dark boson Z_\mu with a mass in the sub-GeV range, which is coupled predominantly to the second and third lepton generations through the L_\mu - L_\tau current . After a discussion of the present phenomenological bounds on the Z_\mu coupling, we show that if the Z_\mu exists, it could be observed in the reaction \mu+Z \to \mu+Z+Z_\mu…

We propose a minimal UV-complete model for kinematically forbidden dark matter (DM) leading to a sub-GeV thermal relic. Our crucial realization is that the two-Higgs-doublet model can provide a light…

In the Standard Model (SM) the branching ratio for the decay $K_L \to \nu \bar{\nu}$ into two neutrinos is helicity suppressed and predicted to be very small $ \leq O(10^{-17})$. We consider two…
