Explaining gμ−2g_μ-2 and RK(∗)R_{K^{(*)}} using the light mediators of U(1)T3RU(1)_{T3R}

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Scenarios in which right-handed light Standard Model fermions couple to a new gauge group, U(1)T3RU(1)_{T3R} can naturally generate a sub-GeV dark matter candidate. But such models necessarily have large couplings to the Standard Model, generally yielding tight experimental constraints. We show that the contributions to gμ−2g_μ-2 from the dark photon and dark Higgs largely cancel out in the narrow window where all the experimental constraints are satisfied, leaving a net correction which is consistent with recent measurements from Fermilab. These models inherently violate lepton universality, and UV completions of these models can include quark flavor violation which can explain RK(∗)R_{K^{(\ast)}} anomalies as observed at the LHCb experiment after satisfying constraints on Br(Bs→μμ)Br(B_s\rightarrowμμ) and various other constraints in the allowed parameter space of the model. This scenario can be probed by FASER, SeaQuest, SHiP, LHCb, Belle, etc.
