G-2 of the muon in SUSY models with gauge multiplets in the bulk of extra dimensions

Abstract

We analyze the supersymmetric contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (a_\mu) in the framework of pure and gaugino-assisted anomaly mediation models, and gaugino mediation models. In the last two models the gauge multiplets propagate in the higher dimensional bulk, providing a natural mechanism for solving the problem of negative squared slepton masses present in the pure anomaly mediation models. In the light of the new BNL results for a_\mu, we found that the pure and gaugino-assisted anomaly mediation models are almost excluded by the BNL constraints at 2\sigma level when combined with CLEO constraints on b->sg at 90 % of C.L. In contrast, the gaugino mediation models provide extensive regions in the SUSY parameter space where both of these constraints are satisfied.
