Can electron and muon $g-2$ anomalies be jointly explained in SUSY?
Abstract
The FNAL+BNL measurements for muon is above the SM prediction, and the Berkeley Cs measurement for the fine-structure constant leads to the SM prediction for electron which is above the experimental value. Hence, a joint explanation of both anomalies requires a positive contribution to muon and a negative contribution to electron , which is rather challenging. In this work we explore the possibility of such a joint explanation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Assuming no universality between smuon and selectron soft masses, we find out a part of parameter space for a joint explanation at level, i.e., , GeV, being much larger than the soft masses of other sleptons, GeV and GeV. This part of parameter space can survive LHC and LEP constraints, but gives an over-abundance for dark matter if the bino-like lightest neutralino is assumed to be the dark matter candidate. With the assumption that the dark matter candidate is a superWIMP (say a pseudo-goldstino in multi-sector SUSY breaking scenarios, whose mass can be as light as GeV and produced from the late-decay of the thermally freeze-out lightest neutralino), the dark matter problem can be avoided. So, we conclude that the MSSM may give a joint explanation for the muon and electron anomalies at level (the muon anomaly can be even ameliorated to ).
