Abstract

We investigate a spontaneously broken U(1)dU(1)_d gauge symmetry with a muon-specific dark Higgs. Our first goal is to verify how the presence of a new dark Higgs, ϕ\phi, and a dark gauge boson, VV, can simultaneously face the anomalies from the muon magnetic moment and the proton charge radius. Secondly, by assuming that VV must decay to an electron-positron pair, we explore the corresponding parameter space determined with the low energy constraints coming from KμX K \to \mu X, electron (g2)e(g-2)_e, Kμνμe+eK \to \mu \nu_\mu e^+ e^-, Kμνμμ+μK \to \mu \nu_\mu \mu^+ \mu^-, τντμνμe+e\tau \to \nu_\tau \mu \nu_\mu e^+ e^-. We focus in the scenario where the VV mass is below 2mμ \sim 2 m_\mu and the ϕ\phi mass runs from few MeV till 250250 MeV, with V-photon mixing of the order O(103) \sim\mathcal{O}(10^{-3}). Among weak process at low energies, we check the influence of the new light vector on kaon decays as well as on the scattering e+eμ+μe+ee^+ e^- \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- e^+ e^- and discuss the impact of the dark Higgs on e+eμ+μμ+μe^+ e^- \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- \mu^+ \mu^- . Finally, we consider contributions of the V-photon mixing in the decays π0γe+e\pi^0 \to \gamma e^+ e^-, ηγe+e\eta \to \gamma e^+ e^-, ρπe+e\rho \to \pi e^+ e^-, KKe+eK^* \to K e^+ e^- and ϕ(1020)ηe+e\phi (1020) \to \eta e^+ e^-.
