Charged Lepton G-2 and Constraints on New Physics
Abstract
A review of the theoretical and experimental values for the charged lepton (electron and muon) anomalous magnetic moment is presented. Employing the most accurate value for the fine structure constant obtained \cite {Kin196} from the electron we find the new complete standard model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon . The comparison of this theoretical value and the precise experimental result \cite {Sch} yields the estimation for the difference at the 95% confidence level: . The implication of the expected a factor of about 20 increase of accuracy in the forthcoming Brookhaven National Laboratory measurement of implies , (). This interval is used to get constraints on the "new physics". The value of the one-loop contributions of different bosons predicted within extension of the standard model and coupled to a charged lepton are discussed. The dependence of on the masses of the bosons and leptons of the vacuum polarization loops are investigated. The constraints on "new physics" by requiring that the new contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment lie within the latter interval are obtained.
