A "Vector-like chiral" fourth family to explain muon anomalies

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-05-16 v2

Abstract

The Standard Model (SM) is amended by one generation of quarks and leptons which are vector-like (VL) under the SM gauge group but chiral with respect to a new U(1)34\mathrm{U}(1)_{3-4} gauge symmetry. We show that this model can simultaneously explain the deviation of the muon g2g-2 as well as the observed anomalies in bsμ+μb\rightarrow s\mu^+\mu^- transitions without conflicting with the data on Higgs decays, lepton flavor violation, or BsBˉsB_s-\bar{B}_s mixing. The model is string theory motivated and GUT compatible, i.e. UV complete, and fits the data predicting VL quarks, leptons and a massive ZZ' at the TeV\mathrm{TeV} scale, as well as τ3μ\tau\to3\mu and τμγ\tau\to\mu\gamma within reach of future experiments. The Higgs couplings to SM generations are automatically aligned in flavor space.
