Abstract

We present a singly charged scalar extension of the Scotogenic model, ScotoZee, which resolves the recently reported deviations in WW boson mass as well as lepton g2g-2. The model admits a scalar or a fermionic dark matter while realizing naturally small radiative neutrino masses. The mass splitting of 100\sim 100 GeV, required by the shift in WW boson mass, among the inert doublets fields can be evaded by its mixing with the singlet scalar, which is also key to resolving (g2)(g-2)_\ell anomaly within 1σ1\sigma. We establish the consistency of this framework with dark matter relic abundance while satisfying constraints from charged lepton flavor violation, direct detection as well as collider bounds. The model gives predictions for the lepton flavor violating τγ\tau\to\ell\gamma processes testable in upcoming experiments.
