We explore the sparticle spectroscopy of the supersymmetric SU(5) model with nonuniversal gaugino masses in light of latest experimental searches. We assume that the gaugino mass parameters are independent at the GUT scale. We find that the observed deviation in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be explained in this model. The parameter space that explains this deviation predicts a heavy colored sparticle spectrum whereas the sleptons can be light. We also find a notable region of the parameter space that yields the desired relic abundance for dark matter. In addition, we analyze the model in light of latest limits from direct detection experiments and find that the parameter space corresponding to the observed deviation in the muon anomalous magnetic moment can be probed at some of the future direct detection experiments.

AbstractThe recent measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Fermilab E989 experiment, when combined with the previous result at BNL, has confirmed the tension with the SM prediction at $$4.2\,\sigma $$ 4.2 σ  CL, strengthening the motivation for new physics in the leptonic sector. Among the different particle physics models that could account for such an excess, a gauged $$U(1)_{L_\mu -L_{\tau }}$$ U ( 1 ) L μ - L τ stands out for its simplicity. In this article, we explore how the combination of data from different future probes can help identify the nature of the new physics behind the muon anomalous magnetic moment. In particular, we contrast $$U(1)_{L_\mu -L_{\tau }}$$ U ( 1 ) L μ - L τ with an effective $$U(1)_{L_\mu }$$ U ( 1 ) L μ -type model. We first show that muon fixed target experiments (such as NA64$$\mu $$ μ ) will be able to measure the coupling of the hidden photon to the muon sector in the region compatible with $$(g-2)_\mu $$ ( g - 2 ) μ , and will have some sensitivity to the hidden photon’s mass. We then study how experiments looking for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$$\nu $$ ν NS) at spallation sources will provide crucial additional information on the kinetic mixing of the hidden photon. When combined with NA64$$\mu $$ μ results, the exclusion limits (or reconstructed regions) of future CE$$\nu $$ ν NS detectors will also allow for a better measurement of the mediator mass. Finally, the observation of nuclear recoils from solar neutrinos in dark matter direct detection experiments will provide unique information about the coupling of the hidden photon to the tau sector. The signal expected for $$U(1)_{L_\mu -L_{\tau }}$$ U ( 1 ) L μ - L τ is larger than for $$U(1)_{L_\mu }$$ U ( 1 ) L μ with the same kinetic mixing, and future multi-ton liquid xenon proposals (such as DARWIN) have the potential to confirm the former over the latter. We determine the necessary exposure and energy threshold for a potential $$5\,\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery of a $$U(1)_{L_\mu -L_{\tau }}$$ U ( 1 ) L μ - L τ boson, and we conclude that the future DARWIN observatory will be able to carry out this measurement if the experimental threshold is lowered to $$1\,{\mathrm {keV}}_{\mathrm {nr}} $$ 1 keV nr .

Abstract We study a generic leptophilic U(1)X extension of the standard model with a light gauge boson. The U(1)X charge assignments for the leptons are guided by lepton universality violating (LUV) observables in semileptonic b → sℓℓ decays, muon anomalous magnetic moment and the origin of leptonic masses and mixing. Anomaly cancellation conditions require the addition of new chiral fermions in the model, one of which acts as a dark matter (DM) candidate when it is stabilised by an additional $$ {\mathcal{Z}}_2 $$ Z 2 symmetry. From our analysis, we show two different possible models with similar particle content that lead to quite contrasting neutrino mass origin and other phenomenology. The proposed models also have the potential to address the anomalous results in b → cℓνℓ decays like R(D), R(D∗), electron anomalous magnetic moment and the very recent KOTO anomaly in the kaon sector. We also discuss different possible collider signatures of our models which can be tested in future.
