The current ~ 3.5σ discrepancy between the experimental measurement and theoretical prediction of the muon magnetic anomaly, aµ, stands as a potential indication of the existence of new physics. The Muon g − 2 experiment at Fermilab is set to measure aµ with a four-fold improvement in the uncertainty with respect to previous experiment, with an aim to determine whether the g − 2 discrepancy is well established. The experiment recently completed its first physics run and a summer programme of essential upgrades, before continuing on with its experimental programme. The Run-1 data alone are expected to yield a statistical uncertainty of 350 ppb and the publication of the first result is expected in late-2019.

AbstractWe study the potential impact on the electroweak (EW) fits due to the tensions between the current determinations of the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon ($$a_{\mu }$$ a μ ), based on either phenomenological dispersion integrals using measured hadronic spectra or on Lattice QCD calculations. The impact of the current tension between the experimental measurement of $$a_{\mu }$$ a μ and the total theoretical prediction based on the phenomenological calculations of the HVP is also studied. The correlations between the uncertainties of the theoretical predictions of $$a_{\mu }$$ a μ and of the running of $$\alpha _\mathrm{QED}$$ α QED are taken into account in the studies. We conclude that the impact on the EW fit can be large in improbable scenarios involving global shifts of the full HVP contribution, while it is much smaller if the shift is restricted to a lower mass range and/or if the shift in $$\alpha _\text {QED}$$ α QED is obtained from that in $$a_{\mu }$$ a μ through appropriate use of the correlations. Indeed, the latter scenarios only imply at most a 2.6/16 increase in the $$\chi ^2/\text {n.d.f.} $$ χ 2 / n.d.f. of the EW fits and relatively small changes for the resulting fit parameter values.

Abstract The disagreement between the standard model prediction and the experimental measurement of muon anomalous magnetic moment can be alleviated by invoking an additional particle which is either a vector boson (X1) or a scalar (X0). This new particle, with the mass mX ≲ 2mμ, can be searched for in the decay J/ψ → μ−μ+X, where X is missing. Our numerical study shows that the search is quite feasible at the BESIII experiment in the parameter space allowed by muon g − 2 measurements.

The latest measurement of the KS→γγ branching ratio clearly shows an enhancement over the current theoretical prediction. As in other K and B meson decays, this invites to consider the possibility of the contribution of new physics. We study a particular form of the latter, which may be refered to as manifest mirror symmetry. The experimental data are described using previously determined values for the mixing angles of the admixtures of mirror matter in ordinary hadrons and by assuming that for π0, η, η′ → γγ, the mirror decay amplitudes have the same magnitudes as their ordinary counterparts.
