Abstract

While the muon g2g-2 anomaly can be successfully explained by some new physics models, most of them are severely constrained by the μeγ\mu \to e \gamma bound. This tension is more transparent from the effective field theory perspective, in which the two phenomena are encoded in two very similar operators. However, with the O(1){\cal O}(1) Wilson coefficients, the current upper bound on μeγ\mu \to e \gamma indicates a new-physics cutoff scale five orders smaller than that needed to eliminate the (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu anomaly. By summarizing all the formulae from the one-loop contributions to the muon g2g-2 with the internal-particle spin not larger than 1, we point out two general methods to reconcile the conflict between the muon g2g-2 and μeγ\mu \to e \gamma: the GIM mechanism and the non-universal couplings. For the latter method, we use a simple scalar leptoquark model as an illustration.
