Title: Combined explanations of ( g 2 ) μ , e and implications for a large muon EDM

Journal Article · · Physical Review D

With the long-standing tension between experiment and standard-model (SM) prediction in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aμ = (g - 2)μ/2 , at the level of 3 – 4 σ , it is natural to ask if there could be a sizable effect in the electric dipole moment (EDM) d μ as well. In this context it has often been argued that in UV complete models the electron EDM, which is very precisely measured, excludes a large effect in d μ . However, the recently observed 2.5 σ tension in ae = (g - 2)e/2, if confirmed, requires that the muon and electron sectors effectively decouple to avoid constraints from μ → eγ . We briefly discuss UV complete models that possess such a decoupling, which can be enforced by an Abelian flavor symmetry Lμ - Lτ. We show that, in such scenarios, there is no reason to expect a correlation between the electron and muon EDM, so that the latter can be sizable. New limits on d μ improved by up to two orders of magnitude are expected from the upcoming (g - 2)μ experiments at Fermilab and J-PARC. Beyond, a proposed dedicated muon EDM experiment at PSI could further advance the limit. In this way, future improved measurements of ae, aμ, as well as the fine-structure constant α are not only set to provide exciting precision tests of the SM, but, in combination with EDMs, to reveal crucial insights into the flavor structure of physics beyond the SM.
