The anomalous magnetic moment of a lepton encodes the fraction of the lepton's interaction strength with an external magnetic field, which is generated by quantum corrections. Lepton anomalous magnetic moments are sensitive probes of…
One of the key assumptions of the Standard Model of fundamental particles is that the interactions of the charged leptons, namely electrons, muons, and taus, differ only because of their different masses. While precision tests have not…
A positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$) form the the hydrogen-like muonium atom ($M$=$\mu^+ e^-$). Since it consists of two leptonic particles which are according to present knowledge point-like, accurate calculations of its level…
The quest for the value of the electron's atomic mass has been subject of continuing efforts over the last decades. Among the seemingly fundamental constants which parameterize the Standard Model (SM) of physics and which are thus…
The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics is not capable to account for the apparent matter-antimatter asymmetry of our Universe. Physics beyond the SM is required and is either probed by employing highest energies (e.g., at LHC), or by…
Anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{\mu}=(g_{\mu}-2)/2$, is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics and it provides a stringent test of the Standard Model. The planned improvements of the experimental…

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…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is one of the most precisely measured quantities in physics. Its experimental value exhibits a $4.2 \, \sigma$ discrepancy $\delta a_\mu=(251 \pm 59) \times 10^{-11}$ with its theoretical value…

Fundamental physics could be described as having a muon problem. Discrepancies between theory and experiment in a number of muonic measurements ($r_P$, $a_\mu$, $H\rightarrow\mu\tau$, $\mathcal{R}_K$, $\mathcal{R}_{D^*}$) have been observed…
The electric dipole moment of the electron is studied in detail in an extended mirror fermion model with the following unique features of (a) right-handed neutrinos are non-sterile and have masses at the electroweak scale, and (b) a…
We investigate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM), the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) and the lepton-flavour-violating decays of the $\tau-$lepton, $\tau \to \mu \gamma$ and $\tau\to 3\mu$, in the CP-violating Minimal…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics effectively explains most observed phenomena, though some anomalies, especially in the neutrino sector, suggest the need for extensions. In this Letter, we perform the first global fit of elastic…
Spin physics had its beginnings in the famous experiments of Stern and Gerlach, which eventually resulted in the postulation of spin by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck. The Stern-Gerlach experiment told us that the $g$-value of the electron was 2,…
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 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 $g-2$…
