Radiative Muon Mass Models and $(g-2)_\mu$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-01-11 v2

Abstract

Recent measurements of the Higgs-muon coupling are directly probing muon mass generation for the first time. We classify minimal models with a one-loop radiative mass mechanism and show that benchmark models are consistent with current experimental results. We find that these models are best probed by measurements of (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu, even when taking into account the precision of Higgs measurements expected at future colliders. The current (g2)μ(g-2)_\mu anomaly, if confirmed, could therefore be a first hint that the muon mass has a radiative origin.
