Abstract

We propose a new scenario of using the dark axion portal at one-loop level to explain the recently observed muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment. Both axion/axion-like particle (ALP) and dark photon are involved in the same vertex with photon. Although ALP or dark photon alone cannot explain muon $$g-2$$ g - 2 , since the former provides only negative contribution while the latter has very much constrained parameter space, dark axion portal can save the situation and significantly extend the allowed parameter space. The observed muon anomalous magnetic moment provides a robust probe of the dark axion portal scenario.

Invisible decays of axion-like particles: constraints and prospects
Federica Giacchino

Journal of High Energy Physics

Axion-like particles (ALPs) can provide a portal to new states of a dark sector. We study the phenomenology of this portal when the ALP mainly decays invisibly, while its interaction with the standard model sector proceeds essentially via its coupling to electrons and/or photons. We reanalyse existing limits from various collider and beam dump experiments, including in particular ALP production via electron/positron interactions, in addition to the usual production through ALP-photon coupling. We further discuss the interplay between these limits and the intriguing possibility of explaining simultaneously the muon and electron magnetic moment anomalies. Finally, we illustrate the prospects of ALP searches at the LNF positron fixed-target experiment PADME, and the future reach of an upgraded experimental setup.

Muon anomalous magnetic moment: A harbinger for “new physics”
Andrzej Czarnecki

Physical Review D, 2001

QED, Hadronic, and Electroweak Standard Model contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a µ ≡ (g µ − 2)/2, and their theoretical uncertainties are scrutinized. The status and implications of the recently reported 2.6 sigma experiment vs. theory deviation a exp µ − a SM µ = 426(165) × 10 −11 are discussed. Possible explanations due to supersymmetric loop effects with m SUSY ≃ 55 √ tan β GeV, radiative mass mechanisms at the 1-2 TeV scale and other "New Physics" scenarios are examined.

Probing the muon g − 2 anomaly, L − L gauge boson and Dark Matter in dark photon experiments
Sergei Gninenko

Physics Letters B, 2018

In the L µ − L τ model the 3.6 σ discrepancy between the predicted and measured values of the anomalous magnetic moment of positive muons can be explained by the existence of a new dark boson Z with a mass in the sub-GeV range, which is coupled at tree level predominantly to the second and third lepton generations. However, at the one-loop level the Z coupling to electrons or quarks can be induced via the γ − Z kinetic mixing, which is generated through the loop involving the muon and tau lepton. This loophole has important experimental consequences since it opens up new possibilities, in particular for the complementary searches of the Z in the ongoing NA64 and incoming dark photon experiments with high-energy electrons. An extension of the model able to explain relic Dark Matter density is also discussed.

Axion Dark Matter Coupling to Resonant Photons via Magnetic Field
Michael Tobar

Physical review letters, 2016

We show that the magnetic component of the photon field produced by dark matter axions via the two-photon coupling mechanism in a Sikivie haloscope is an important parameter passed over in previous analysis and experiments. The interaction of the produced photons will be resonantly enhanced as long as they couple to the electric or magnetic mode structure of the haloscope cavity. For typical haloscope experiments the electric and magnetic couplings are equal, and this has implicitly been assumed in past sensitivity calculations. However, for future planned searches such as those at high frequency, which synchronize multiple cavities, the sensitivity will be altered due to different magnetic and electric couplings. We define the complete electromagnetic form factor and discuss its implications for current and future dark matter axion searches over a wide range of masses.

Magnetic anomaly coefficients for QCD axion couplings
Andreas Ringwald

Proceedings of The European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics — PoS(EPS-HEP2021), 2021

We argue that there are both experimental and theoretical reasons to reconsider the construction of KSVZ-like axion models. From the experimental side, predictions for the axion-photon coupling are not consistent with the collection of astrophysical hints. From the theoretical side, we find that the construction can be conceptually simplified. In particular, it contains an unnecessary assumption on the type of the gauge theory involved which has far-reaching consequences for low energy axion phenomenology. In order to relax this assumption, we allow heavy fermions of the KSVZ-like models to carry magnetic charge. We then show that the axion-photon coupling is generically dominated by the axial anomaly of magnetic currents. Finally, we derive the expression for magnetic anomaly coefficients, which determine the range of numerical values for the axion-photon coupling.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model
Fred Jegerlehner

Physics Reports, 2020

We review the present status of the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This is performed in a perturbative expansion in the fine-structure constant α and is broken down into pure QED, electroweak, and hadronic contributions. The pure QED contribution is by far the largest and has been evaluated up to and including O(α 5) with negligible numerical uncertainty. The electroweak contribution is suppressed by (m µ /M W) 2 and only shows up at the level of the seventh significant digit. It has been evaluated up to two loops and is known to better than one percent. Hadronic contributions are the most difficult to calculate and are responsible for almost all of the theoretical uncertainty. The leading hadronic contribution appears at O(α 2) and is due to hadronic vacuum polarization, whereas at O(α 3) the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution appears. Given the low characteristic scale of this observable, these contributions have to be calculated with nonperturbative methods, in particular, dispersion relations and the lattice approach to QCD. The largest part of this review is dedicated to a detailed account of recent efforts to improve the calculation of these two contributions with either a data-driven, dispersive approach, or a first-principle, lattice-QCD approach. The final result reads a SM µ = 116 591 810(43) × 10 −11 and is smaller than the Brookhaven measurement by 3.7σ. The experimental uncertainty will soon be reduced by up to a factor four by the new experiment currently running at Fermilab, and also by the future J-PARC experiment. This and the prospects to further reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the near future-which are also discussed here-make this quantity one of the most promising places to look for evidence of new physics.

Cosmology and direct detection of the Dark Axion Portal
Juan Gutierrez

arXiv (Cornell University), 2021

The Dark Axion Portal provides a model for Dark Matter (DM) in which both Dark Photons γ and Axions a can contribute to the present day abundance of DM. We study the parameter space of the Dark Axion Portal to pinpoint regions of the parameter space where γ and a can be produced with sufficient abundance to account for the cosmic DM density, while still being detectable in planned direct detection and axion haloscope experiments. In particular, we explore the production of eV-scale Dark Photons in the Dark Axion Portal, taking into account a possible kinetic mixing between the dark and visible photons, which is essential for the detection of dark photons through absorption in direct searches. We show that a non-zero kinetic mixing does not generally spoil the phenomenology of the model, leaving both the axion and dark photon stable. Viable production mechanisms point to a subdominant population of dark photons making up 10% of the DM, with the remainder consisting of axion DM. Dark photons in the mass range m γ ∼ 20−200 eV and axions in the mass range ma ∼ 30 − 400 µeV may be produced with these abundances self-consistently in the Dark Axion Portal and are within the reach of future direct searches.

New Measurement of the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Positive Muon
Robert Debevec

Physical Review Letters, 1999

The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a new experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored in a superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference, v a , between the spin precession and orbital frequencies was determined by measuring the time distribution of highenergy decay positrons. The ratio R of v a to the Larmor precession frequency of free protons, v p , in the storage-ring magnetic field was measured. We find R 3.707 220͑48͒ 3 10 23 . With m m ͞m p 3.183 345 47͑47͒ this gives a m 1 1 165 925͑15͒ 3 10 29 (613 ppm), in good agreement with the previous CERN measurements for m 1 and m 2 and of approximately the same precision.

A quantum enhanced search for dark matter axions
sumita Ghosh

Nature, 2021

In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum squeezing to circumvent the quantum limit in a search for a new particle. By preparing a microwave-frequency electromagnetic field in a squeezed state and near-noiselessly reading out only the squeezed quadrature [1], we double the search rate for axions over a mass range favored by recent theoretical projections [2, 3]. We observe no signature of dark matter axions in the combined 16.96-17.12 and 17.14-17.28 µeV/c 2 mass window for axion-photon couplings above gγ = 1.38 × g KSVZ γ , reporting exclusion at the 90% level.

Implications of the dark axion portal for the muon g−2 , B factories, fixed target neutrino experiments, and beam dumps
Min-Seok Seo

Physical Review D

The dark axion portal is a recently introduced portal between the standard model and the dark sector. It connects both the dark photon and the axion (or axion-like particle) to the photon simultaneously through an anomaly triangle. While the vector portal and the axion portal have been popular venues to search for the dark photon and axion, respectively, the new portal provides new detection channels if they coexist. The dark axion portal is not a result of the simple combination of the two portals, and its value is not determined by the other portal values; it should be tested independently. In this paper, we discuss implications of the new portal for the leptonic g − 2, Bfactories, fixed target neutrino experiments and beam dumps. We provide the model-independent constraints on the axion-photon-dark photon coupling and discuss the sensitivities of the recently activated Belle-II experiment, which will play an important role in testing the new portal.

Dark matter through the axion portal
Yasunori NOMURA

Physical Review D, 2009

Motivated by the galactic positron excess seen by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS, we propose that dark matter is a TeV-scale particle that annihilates into a pseudoscalar "axion." The positron excess and the absence of an anti-proton or gamma ray excess constrain the axion mass and branching ratios. In the simplest realization, the axion is associated with a Peccei-Quinn symmetry, in which case it has a mass around 360-800 MeV and decays into muons. We present a simple and predictive supersymmetric model implementing this scenario, where both the Higgsino and dark matter obtain masses from the same source of TeV-scale spontaneous symmetry breaking.

    Electron and muon magnetic moments and implications for dark matter and model characterisation in non-universal U(1)′ supersymmetric models
    Subhadeep Mondal

    Journal of High Energy Physics

    We attribute deviations of the muon and electron magnetic moments from the theoretical predictions to the presence of an additional U(1)′ supersymmetric model. We interpret the discrepancies between the muon and electron anomalous magnetic moments to be due to the presence of non-universal U(1)′ charges. In a minimally extended model, we show that requiring both deviations to be satisfied imposes constraints on the spectrum of the model, in particular on dark matter candidates and slepton masses and ordering. Choosing three benchmarks with distinct dark matter features, we study implications of the model at colliders, concentrating on variables that can distinguish our non-universal scenario from other U(1)′ implementations.
