Abstract

We consider the contributions to gμ2g_\mu-2 from fourth generation heavy neutral and charged leptons, NN and EE, at the one-loop level. Diagrammatically, there are two types of contributions: boson-boson-NN, and EE-EE-boson in the loop diagram. In general, the effect from NN is suppressed by off-diagonal lepton mixing matrix elements. For EE, we consider flavor changing neutral couplings arising from various New Physics models, which are stringently constrained by μeγ\mu\to e\gamma. We assess how the existence of a fourth generation would affect these New Physics models.
