Standard Model contributions to the electron, muon, and tau lepton anomalous magnetic moments, a_l=(g_l-2)/2, are reviewed and updated. The fine structure constant is obtained from the electron g_e-2 and used to refine the QED contribution…
We discuss the future prospects of a minimally five-dimensional version of the well-motivated scenario for addressing the discrepancy in the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ extension of the standard model (SM)…
We obtain bounds on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-neutrino through the reaction $e^{+}e^{-}\to \nu \bar \nu \gamma$ at the $Z_1$-pole in the framework of a Left-Right symmetric model and a class of $E_6$…
We examine in a generic context how the $\mu$ problem can be resolved by means of a spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. We then focus on the new scheme based on a discrete gauge R symmetry which is spontaneously broken by nonperturbative…
In this paper, we explore in detail the cosmological implications of an abelian $L_\mu-L_\tau$ gauge extension of the Standard Model featuring a light and weakly coupled $Z'$. Such a scenario is motivated by the longstanding $\sim \, 4…
If a Z' gauge boson from a gauged L_mu - L_tau symmetry is very light, it is associated with a long-range leptonic force. In this case the particles in the Sun create via mixing of the Z' with the Standard Model Z a flavor-dependent…
The recent confirmation by FNAL of the $(g-2)_\mu$ muon anomaly gives strong evidence for the possible existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model in the muon sector. Thus it is worthy to revisit the existing experimental constraints…
We investigate the spontaneous breaking of the Baryon (B) and Lepton (L) number at the TeV scale in supersymmetric models. A simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model where B and L are spontaneously broken local gauge…
Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking is known to greatly suppress flavor changing neutral current effects. However, we show that gauge mediation in the context of leptogenesis implies potentially large lepton flavor violating signals. If…
A supersymmetric model which naturally accommodates MeV tau neutrino within the framework of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking is described. The lepton number violation is originally introduced in the messenger sector of the theory. A…
The flavour lepton symmetry is gauged for both the Standard Model flavor group and its extension with three degenerate right-handed neutrinos. As a consequence of anomaly cancellation, exotic leptons are introduced which induce a see-saw…
Potentially realistic string models often contain additional abelian gauge factors besides the standard model group. The consequences of such extended gauge structure are manifold both for theory and phenomenology as I show focussing in the…
We study a simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model in which the Abelian sector of the theory consists of B-L and right-handed isospin. In the minimal model this Abelian gauge structure is broken to the standard model…
Spontaneous breaking of inter-family (horizontal) gauge symmetries can be at the origin of the mass hierarchy between the fermion families. The corresponding gauge bosons have flavor-nondiagonal couplings which generically induce the…
A recent model of dark energy and dark matter was proposed, involving a new gauge group $SU(2)_Z$ whose coupling grows strong at a scale $\Lambda_Z \sim 10^{-3} eV$, a result which is obtained from a simple assumption that its initial value…
The recent CDF-II measurement of the $W$-boson mass shows a strong tension with the corresponding Standard Model prediction. Once active neutrino masses are explained in the context of the Low-Scale Seesaw mechanisms, this tension can be…
I build a SU(2)left x U(1) electroweak gauge theory of J=0 mesons, which transform like sets of fermion-antifermion composite fields. SU(2)left x U(1) is embedded in a natural way, compatible with the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for…
If the minimal standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to include just a righthanded partner to nu_tau, then the quantum number B-3L_tau can be added as a gauge symmetry without the appearance of anomalies. A suitable extension of…
Very recently, we proposed an explanation of the discrepancy between the measured anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the Standard Model (SM) prediction in which the dominant contribution to $(g-2)_\mu$ originates in Kaluza-Klein (KK)…
We propose a minimal model which accommodates the long-standing anomaly of muon magnetic moment based on abelian discrete flavor symmetries. The standard model is extended by scalar doublets charged under a $Z_n$ lepton flavor symmetry. In…
