Large Two-Loop Contributions to g-2 from a Generic Pseudoscalar Boson

Abstract

We calculate the dominant contributions to the muon g2g-2 at the two-loop level due to a generic pseudoscalar boson that may exist in any exotic Higgs sector in most extensions of the standard model. The leading effect comes from diagrams of the Barr-Zee type. A sufficiently light pseudoscalar Higgs boson can give rise to contribution as large as the electroweak contribution which is measurable in the next round of g2g-2 experiment. Through the contribution we calculated here, the anticipated improved data in the recent future on the muon g2g-2 can put the best limit on the possible existence of a light pseudoscalar boson in physics beyond the standard model.
