Abstract

A correlated analysis of observables arising from loop induced effects from a vectorlike generation is given. The observables include flavor changing radiative decays $\mu\to e \gamma, \tau\to \mu \gamma, \tau\to e \gamma$, electric dipole moments of the charged leptons $e,\mu, \tau$, and corrections to magnetic dipole moments of $g_\mu-2$ and $g_e-2$. In this work we give a full analysis of the corrections to these observables by taking into account both the supersymmetry loops as well as the exchange of a vectorlike leptonic generation. Thus the fermion mass matrix involves a $5\times 5$ mixing matrix while the scalar sector involves a $10\times 10$ mixing matrix including the CP violating phases from the vectorlike sector. The analysis is done under the constraint of the Higgs boson mass at the experimentally measured value. The loops considered include the exchange of $W$ and $Z$ bosons and of leptons and a mirror lepton, and the exchange of charginos and neutralinos, sleptons and mirror sleptons. The correction to the diphoton decay of the Higgs $h\to \gamma\gamma$ including the exchange of the vectorlike leptonic multiplet is also computed.

Highlights

  • Precision measurements can reveal small deviations from the standard model (SM) prediction and indicate the existence of new physics beyond the standard model

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Precision measurements can reveal small deviations from the standard model (SM) prediction and indicate the existence of new physics beyond the standard model. There are a variety of experiments which are exploring the properties of elementary particles to a high precision to this end These include flavor changing radiative decays of the charged leptons μ → eγ, τ → μγ and τ → eγ, i.e., the MEG experiment [1], BABAR collaboration [2] and the Belle collaboration [3], the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron [4], of the muon as well as of quarks [5], and the precision measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon [6] and of the electron. Vectorlike generations are anomaly free so they preserve good properties of the model as a quantum field theory. The mixings of these light vectorlike generations with the three generations of leptons can lead to contributions to the processes noted above. Further details of the analysis is given in Appendices A and B
