Gauging a specific difference of lepton numbers such as $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ is a popular model-building option, which gives rise to economical explanations for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. However, this choice of gauge group seems…
Following a previous proposal, lepton number is considered as the result of a spontaneously broken non-Abelian gauge $SU(2)_N$ symmetry. New fermions are added to support this new symmetry, the spontaneous breaking of which allows these new…
We propose a model having a gauged $SU(2)$ symmetry associated with the second and third generations of leptons, dubbed $SU(2)_{\mu\tau}$, of which $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ is an Abelian subgroup. In addition to the Standard Model fields, we…
In this paper we study $Z'$ contribution to $g -2$ of the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment in gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ models. Here $L_i$ are the lepton numbers. We find that there are three classes of models which can produce a…
We investigate a gauge extension of the Standard Model in light of the observed hints of lepton universality violation in $b \to c \ell \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays at BaBar, Belle and LHCb. The model consists of an extended…
We consider a gauge model based on $SU(3)\otimes U(1)$ symmetry in which the lepton number is violated explicitly by charged scalar and gauge bosons, including a vector field with double electric charge. Although there exist in the…
We study a model with $U(1)$ gauged lepton number symmetry in which the active neutrino masses are generated at two-loop level through the spontaneous breaking of the lepton number symmetry. To cancel gauge anomalies some exotic leptons are…
$L_\mu -L_\tau$ gauge boson ($Z'$) with a mass in the MeV to GeV region can resolve not only the muon $g-2$ excess, but also the gap in the high-energy cosmic neutrino spectrum at IceCube. It was recently proposed that such a light gauge…
We construct a new gauged $U(1)_\ell$ lepton number model which is anomaly-free for each SM generation. The active neutrino masses are radiatively generated with a minimal scalar sector. The phenomenology and collider signals are studied.…
We propose a theory in which the Standard Model gauge symmetry is extended by a new $SU(2)_\ell$ group acting nontrivially on the lepton sector which is spontaneously broken at the TeV scale. Under this $SU(2)_\ell$ the ordinary leptons…
We extend the Standard Model gauge group by $U(1)_{L_e-L_\mu}$ and introduce two scalars, a doublet and a singlet, that are charged under this new group and have lepton flavour violating couplings. Since in this model $\mu \to e$ processes…
We propose the novel lepton-number relationship $L_\tau = L_e + L_\mu$, which is uniquely realized by the interaction $(\hat \nu_e \hat \mu - \hat e \hat \nu_\mu) \hat \tau^c$ in supersymmetry and may account for a possibly large muon…
We consider an $U(1)_{L_\mu -L_\tau}$ extended left-right symmetric gauge theory where the neutrino masses are generated through inverse seesaw mechanism. In this model the muon $(g-2)$ anomaly is accounted for by the mediation of…
We consider a gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ extension of the left-right symmetric theory in order to simultaneously explain neutrino mass, mixing and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We get sizeable contribution from the interaction of…
We reexamine lepton mixing in gauge models by considering two theories within the type I seesaw mechanism, the Extended Standard Model, i.e. SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y with singlet right-handed heavy neutrinos, and the Left-Right Model SU(2)_L x…
The latest measurements of the anomalous muon magnetic moment $a^{}_\mu \equiv (g^{}_\mu - 2)/2$ show a $4.2\sigma$ discrepancy between the theoretical prediction of the Standard Model and the experimental observations. In order to account…
A $Z'$ gauge boson with sub-GeV mass has acquired a significant interest in phenomenology, particularly in view of the muon $g-2$ anomaly and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering. The latter is challenged by the nuclear recoil…
Experimental hints for lepton-flavor universality violation in the muon's magnetic moment as well as neutral- and charged-current $B$-meson decays require Standard-Model extensions by particles such as leptoquarks that generically lead to…
Minimal gauged U(1)$_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ models can provide for an additional source for the muon anomalous magnetic moment however it is difficult to accommodate the discrepancy in the electron magnetic moment in tandem. Owing to the…
The gauged $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ model can provide for additional contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment by means of a loop involving the $Z^{\prime}$ gauge boson. However, the parameter space of such models is severely…
