A joint explanation of W-mass and muon g-2 in 2HDM

Since both $W$-mass and muon $g-2$ can be affected by the mass splittings among extra Higgs bosons $(H,~A,~H^\pm)$ in a 2HDM, we take a model with $μ$-$τ$ LFV interactions to examine the two anomalies reported respectively by CDF II and FNAL. We obtain the following observations: (i) Combined with theoretical constraints, the CDF $W$-mass measurement disfavors $H$ or $A$ to degenerate in mass with $H^\pm$, but allows $H$ and $A$ to degenerate. The mass splitting between $H^\pm$ and $H/A$ is required to be larger than 10 GeV. The $m_{H^\pm}$ and $m_{A}$ are favored to be smaller than 650 GeV for $m_H<120$ GeV, and allowed to have more large values with increasing of $m_H$. (ii) After imposing other relevant experimental constraints, there are parameter spaces that simultaneously satisfy (at $2σ$ level) the CDF $W$-mass, the FNAL muon $g-2$ and the data of lepton universality in $τ$ decays, but the mass splittings among extra Higgs bosons are strictly constrained.
