We calculate contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of muon from heavy neutral and charged Higgs bosons new leptons in two doublet models extended by vectorlike leptons. present detailed predictions with type-II couplings standard model fermions, motivated a $Z_2$ symmetry supersymmetry. In addition, we compare results find that $Z_{2}$ can generate much larger compared model, even orders magnitude due $\tan^{2}\beta$ enhancement, while satisfying current constraints. As consequence,...

In the path towards a muon collider with center of mass energy 10 TeV or more, stage at 3 emerges as an appealing option. Reviewing physics potential such is main purpose this document. order to outline progression performances across stages, few sensitivity projections for higher are also presented. There many opportunities probing new collider. Some them in common extensively documented case CLIC stage, and include measuring Higgs trilinear coupling testing possible composite nature boson...

We show that in a two Higgs doublet model type-II extended by vectorlike leptons the contributions from heavy neutral and charged bosons to anomalous magnetic moment of muon simultaneously feature chiral enhancement masses new $\tan^2 \beta$ couplings bosons. Assuming moderate values Yukawa couplings, not exceeding one, can remain perturbative very high energy scales, measured value $g-2$ be explained within one standard deviation even with 6.5 TeV or 20 Allowing near perturbativity limit,...

We show that new physics explanations of the muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$ anomaly by contributions leptons mediated standard model Higgs boson necessarily lead to large rates for ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}hh$ and ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}hhh$ irrespectively details or scale physics.

We show that any new interaction resulting in a chirally enhanced contribution to the muon magnetic moment necessarily modifies decay rate of Higgs boson pairs or generates electric dipole moment. These three observables are highly correlated, and near future measurements h→μ^{+}μ^{-} will carve an ellipse plane moments for such model. Together with many models able explain g-2 anomaly can be efficiently tested.

Recent measurements of reactor-produced antineutrino fluxes and energy spectra are inconsistent with models based on measured thermal fission beta spectra. In this paper, we examine the dependence production neutron energy. particular, variation product yields has been considered as a possible source discrepancies between observations models. simulations low-enriched highly-enriched reactor core designs, find substantial fraction fissions (from 5% to more than 40%) caused by non-thermal...
