Charged lepton flavor violation in light of muon g - 2

Description

The recent confirmation of the muon g - 2 anomaly by the Fermilab g - 2 experiment may harbinger a new era in µ and τ physics. In the context of general two Higgs doublet model, the discrepancy can be explained via one-loop exchange of sub-TeV exotic scalar and pseudoscalars, namely H and A, that have flavor changing neutral couplings ρτμ and ρμτ at ∼ 20 times the usual tau Yukawa coupling, λτ. Taking ρ ∼ λmin(,), we show that the above solution to muon g - 2 then predicts enhanced rates of various charged lepton flavor violating processes, which should be accessible at upcoming experiments. We cover muon related processes such as µ→ eγ, µ → eee and µN → eN, and τ decays τ → µγ and τ → µµµ. A similar one-loop diagram with ρeτ=ρτe=O(λ_e)inducesµeγ,bringingtheraterightintothesensitivityoftheMEGIIexperiment.Theµeγdipolecanbeprobedfurtherbyµ3eandµNeN.Withitspromisedsensitivityrangeandabilitytousedifferentnuclei,theµNeNconversionexperimentscannotonlymakediscovery,butaccesstheextradiagonalquarkYukawacouplingsρ_{qq}.Fortheτlepton,wefindthatτµγwouldprobeρ_{/tau/tau }$ down to λτ or lower, while τ → 3µ would probe ρ$_{/mu/mu }toO(λ_{/mu}$).
