We show that in supersymmetric models with a gauged flavor symmetry explaining the hierarchy of fermion masses and mixings, the electron, muon, neutron and the deuteron acquire sizable electric dipole moments (EDM) through loop diagrams…
Explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe requires new sources of CP violation beyond the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). Electric dipole moments (EDMs) of particles, being zero if CP is exactly conserved and…
We introduce a model of dark matter (DM) where the DM is a composite of a spontaneously broken conformal field theory. The DM is a thermal relic with its abundance determined by the freeze-out of annihilations to dilatons, the Goldstone…
The electric dipole moments~(EDM) of fundamental particles inherently violate parity~(P) and time-reversal~(T) symmetries. By virtue of the CPT theorem in quantum field theory, the latter also implies the violation of the combined…
The magnetic dipole interaction played a central role in the development of QED, and continued in that role for the Standard Model. The muon anomalous magnetic moment has served as a benchmark for models of new physics, and the present…
Two experiments from the Fermilab, E989 and CDF II, have reported two anomalies for muon $g-2$ and $W$-boson mass that may indicate the new physics at the low energy scale. Here we examine the possibility of a common origin of these two…
The muon anomalous magnetic moment exhibits a 3.6 \sigma discrepancy between experiment and theory. One explanation requires the existence of a light vector boson, Z_d (the dark Z), with mass 10 - 500 MeV that couples weakly to the…
This letter of intent proposes an experiment to search for an electric dipole moment of the muon based on the frozen-spin technique. We intend to exploit the high electric field, $E=1{\rm GV/m}$, experienced in the rest frame of the muon…
The MUonE experiment aims to extract the hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from a precise measurement of the muon-electron differential scattering cross section. We show that MUonE can also discover thermal relic…
At the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) we are developing a high precision instrument to measure the muon electric dipole moment (EDM). The experiment is based on the frozen-spin method in which the spin precession induced by the anomalous…
The J-PARC muon $g - 2$/EDM experiment aims to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly $a_{\mu} = (g -2) / 2 ~ $ and the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) $d_{\mu}$. The target sensitivity for $a_{\mu}$ is a statistical uncertainty of $450…
We discuss in detail the possibility that the ``type-II majoron'' -- that is, the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that arises in the context of the type-II seesaw mechanism if the lepton number is spontaneously broken by an additional singlet…
We investigate the effects of a magnetic dipole moment of asymmetric dark matter (DM) in the evolution of the Sun. The dipole interaction can lead to a sizable DM scattering cross section even for light DM, and the asymmetric dark matter…
The present work aims to study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) that addresses the prominent SM shortcomings, i.e., can explain the neutrino mass, the dark matter (DM) content, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The…
We examine electron and muon anomalous magnetic dipole moments within a radiative neutrino mass model featuring TeV-scale scalar leptoquarks $S(3,1,-1/3)$ and $R(3,2,1/6)$. We utilize textures with decoupling electron and muon sectors, so…
We revisit a set of dark sector models, motivated by anomalies observed in $B$ decays and the muon anomalous magnetic moment, in the light of a recently reported diphoton excess around 750$\,$GeV. Interpreting the excess as a scalar…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has recently been measured to be in conflict with the Standard Model prediction with an excess of 2.6 sigma. Taking this result as a measurement of the supersymmetric contribution, we find that at…
A new type of dark matter (DM) theories are proposed in the light of the standard model (SM) singlet scalar $\phi$ which is responsible for the diphoton excess at the LHC Run 2. In the so-called $\phi$-portal DM models, after taking into…
Very recently, a Fermilab report of muon $g-2$ showed a $4.2\sigma$ discrepancy between it and the standard model (SM) prediction. Motivated by this inspiring result and the increasing tension in supersymmetric interpretation of the…
