Dark Matter and (g - 2) μ,e in radiative Dirac neutrino mass models

Abstract

The origin of neutrino mass is a mystery, so is its nature, namely, whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles. On top of that, hints of large deviations of the muon and the electron anomalous magnetic moments (AMMs) are strong evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work, piecing these puzzles together, we propose a class of radiative Dirac neutrino mass models to reconcile (g - 2) μ,e anomalies with neutrino oscillation data. In this framework, a common set of new physics (NP) states run through the loops that generate non-zero neutrino mass and, due to chiral enhancement, provide substantial NP contributions to lepton AMMs. In addition, one of the three models studied in this work offers a Dark Matter candidate automatically stabilized by the residual symmetry, whose phenomenology is non-trivially connected to the other two puzzles mentioned above. Finally, our detailed numerical analysis reveals a successful resolution to these mysteries while being consistent with all colliders and cosmological constraints.
