Charged Lepton EDM with Extra Yukawa Couplings

Abstract

In a two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings, we assess the new physics contributions to charged lepton electric dipole moment. We focus especially on muon (and tau) EDM where in the coming decade several experiments - Muon g-2, J-PARC and PSI (and Belle II) - will push sensitivities down by several orders of magnitude. With the working assumption that extra Yukawa couplings are analogous to SM ones in strength and taking exotic scalar masses in sub-TeV range, we find that μ\mu and τ\tau EDM can be enhanced to values larger than new physics scenarios that scale with lepton mass. The main effect comes from the flavor-conserving extra top coupling ρtt\rho_{tt} via well-known two-loop diagrams. Deviating from our working assumption, if the muon g2g-2 anomaly arises from the one-loop diagram, driven by singly enhanced lepton flavor violating ρτμ\rho_{\tau\mu} coupling, it can also induce rather large muon EDM, accessible at upcoming experiments.
