We investigate the newly observed muon $g_\mu -2$ anomaly in the framework of a sequential fourth generation model with a heavy fourth neutrino, $\nu'$. We find that $g_\mu -2$ can exclude most values of $m_{\nu'}$ and put a very stringent…
In addition to vector ($V$) type new particles extensively discussed previously, both CP-even ($S$) and CP-odd ($P$) spin-0 Dark Matter (DM) mediators can couple to muons and be produced in the bremsstrahlung reaction $\mu^- + N \rightarrow…
In many extensions of the Standard Model the presence of an extra neutral boson, Z', is invoked. A precision study of weak neutral-current exchange processes involving only second generation fermions is still missing. We propose a search…
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new Abelian forces with new gauge bosons mediating interactions between "dark sectors" and the Standard Model. We report a search for a dark boson Z' coupling only to…
We investigate dark matter (DM)-electron scattering in a minimal $U(1)_X$ extension of the Standard Model (SM), where the DM can appear as a Majorana fermion, a complex singlet scalar or a Dirac fermion. To study bounds on the $U(1)_X$…
We study the experimental constraints from electron and muon $g-2$ factors on the Higgs masses and Yukawa couplings in the $T'$ model, and thereby show that the discrepancy between the standard model prediction and experimental value of…
Experiments designed to measure neutrino oscillations also provide major opportunities for discovering very weakly coupled states. In order to produce neutrinos, experiments such as LSND collide thousands of Coulombs of protons into fixed…
We analyze two minimal supersymmetric constrained models with low-energy vector-like matter preserving gauge coupling unification. In one we add to the MSSM spectrum a pair of 5-plets of SU(5), in the other a pair of 10-plets. We show that…
The Direct Detection~(DD) experiments are vital for probing the particle nature of Dark Matter~(DM). However, in the absence of a scattering event, DD searches result in stringent bounds on the corresponding parameter space. The paper has…
The Muon g-2/EDM Experiment at J-PARC will employ a novel way to measure the muon magnetic anomaly, a_mu = (g-2)_mu/2, by using a low-emittance beam of positive muons stored in a compact muon storage magnet. The experimental method includes…
I review possible explanations of the muon g-2 anomaly in models with extended Higgs and matter sectors, focusing on extensions of the standard model and the two Higgs doublet model with vectorlike leptons. Predictions of these models,…
With the long-standing tension between experiment and Standard-Model (SM) prediction in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu=(g-2)_\mu/2$, at the level of 3-4$\sigma$, it is natural to ask if there could be a sizable effect in…
Observations of atmospheric neutrinos by the SuperKamiokande collaboration have demonstrated large mixing of the muon-neutrino. However the present atmospheric neutrino data does not significantly constrain the associated mixing of the…
To address the long-standing $(g-2)_{\mu}$ anomaly via a light boson, in Ref. [1] we proposed to extend the standard model (SM) by the local $(B-L)_{23}$, under which only the second and third generations of fermions are charged. It…
We examine the lepton dipole moments in an extension of the Standard Model (SM), which contains vector-like leptons that couple only to the second-generation SM leptons. The model naturally leads to sizable contributions to the muon $g-2$…
We present a model explaining both the 4.2 $\sigma$ muon $g-2$ anomaly and the relic density of dark matter (DM) in which DM interacts with the Standard Model (SM) via a scalar portal boson $\varphi$ carrying both dark and SM leptonic…
We study the impact of light gauge bosons on neutrino physics. We show that they can explain the NuTeV anomaly and also escape the constraints from neutrino experiments if they are very weakly coupled and have a mass of a few GeV. Lighter…
We discuss the recent results on the muon anomalous magnetic moment in the context of new physics models with light scalars. We propose a model in which the one-loop contributions to g-2 of a scalar and a pseudoscalar naturally cancel in…
The MUonE experiment aims at a precision measurement of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$, via elastic muon-electron scattering. Since the current muon $g-2$ anomaly hints at the potential existence of new…
