The ratio 𝑅(𝐸) of the cross-sections for 𝑒+𝑒−→ hadrons and 𝑒+𝑒−→𝜇+𝜇− is a valuable energy-dependent probe of the hadronic sector of the Standard Model. Moreover, the experimental measurements of 𝑅(𝐸) are the inputs of the dispersive calculations of the leading hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon 𝑔−2 and these are in significant tension with direct lattice calculations and...

A search for the electroweak production of pairs of charged sleptons decaying into two-lepton final states with missing transverse momentum is presented. A simplified model of 𝑅-parity-conserving supersymmetry is considered: direct pair-production of sleptons (ℓ̃ℓ̃), with each decaying into a charged lepton and a 𝜒̃01 neutralino. The lightest neutralino (𝜒̃01) is assumed to be the lightest...

The error budget of the theory calculation of the muon 𝑔−2 is dominated by two hadronic contributions: the Hadronic Vacuum Polarization (HVP) and the Hadronic Light-by-Light (HLbL) scattering. Reducing the error on these contributions is essential to match the future experimental precision.
In this talk, we present a lattice calculation of the three light pseudoscalar meson ($\pi_0$, $\eta$...

By replacing continuous space–time with a Euclidean lattice, lattice gauge theories provide a way to capture the non-perturbative effects in the muon g-2. We present first results by the RC collaborations towards obtaining a precise estimate of these effects using a novel local description of lattice QCD and QED, based on C boundary conditions in space.

The muon anomalous magnetic moment $𝑎_𝜇=(𝑔−2)_𝜇/2$ has been measured at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2001 and, more recently by the Fermilab Muon 𝑔−2 Experiment. Their results deviate by $4.2~\sigma$ from the Standard Model theoretical predictions. The largest source of theoretical error is the Hadronic Leading Order (HLO) contribution $𝑎^{\text{𝐻𝐿𝑂}}_𝜇$. This contribution can be...

The Standard Model theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $𝑎_𝜇=(𝑔−2)_𝜇/2$, presents a discrepancy of $4.2~\sigma$ with respect to the combined Fermilab and BNL measurements.
The MUonE project is a recently proposed experiment at CERN that will help to shed light on this situation, by providing an independent determination of the leading order hadronic vacuum...

The Muon $g-2$ experiment measures the muon magnetic moment anomaly $a_\mu$ by relating the precession frequencies of muons inside a magnetic storage ring to the strength of the magnetic field that they experience. A series of NMR instruments map the primary magnetic field, but some short-lived transient magnetic fields require alternative approaches to measure with sufficient precision. The...

We show that the models that induce neutrino magnetic moments while maintaining their small masses naturally also predict observable shifts in the muon anomalous magnetic moment. This shift is of the right magnitude to be consistent with the Brookhaven measurement as well as the recent Fermilab measurement of the muon g−2. This points out the direct correlation between the magnetic moment of...

The LHCb collaboration has recently set a first limit on the radiative leptonic decay of the $B_s$-meson in the region of high momentum transfer, namely $\mathcal{B} (B_s^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^- \gamma) [q^2 > (4.9 \, \rm {GeV})^2] < 2.0 \times 10^{-9}$. From the theoretical point of view, several computations of the hadronic Form Factors (FFs) entering in this decay are available in the context of...

Several results in high energy physics experiments highlighted hints of new physics in semileptonic decays of B particles. Among the existing experiments, the LHCb detector plays a very important role in this sector. In fact, it is specifically designed for the study of particles containing b or c quarks. Some LHCb results suggested the violation of the lepton flavour universality stated in...

In this talk, we consider the rare decay channel $B_s\rightarrow\mu\mu\gamma$, the radiative counterpart of the very rare $B_s\rightarrow\mu\mu$ decay, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. This decay is sensitive to possible new vector couplings in the $b\rightarrow s\mu\mu$ interaction vertex. Using different form factors parametrizations of the $B_s\rightarrow\gamma$...

Since the observation of neutrino oscillations, lepton number conservation is known to be a non-exact symmetry of the Standard Model lagrangian: yet there is still no evidence of lepton flavour violating processes involving charged leptons (cLFV), such as $𝜇→e𝛾$, $𝜇→eee$ or $𝜇𝑁→eN$: according to minimal extensions of the Standard Model including neutrino masses, these processes are too rare to...

An attractive explanation for the flavor puzzle of the Standard Model is the multi-scale origin of the flavor hierarchies, where the size of the Standard Model Yukawas of the different families is associated to different scales. This solution makes more natural the tight flavor bounds for New Physics at the TeV scale, and can accommodate possible B-anomalies. I will discuss the status and...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is currently our only tool for direct exploration of physics at the electroweak scale and above and the high-luminosity phase is planned to last until the late 2030s. Rare flavour-changing neutral current transitions $𝑏→𝑠𝜇^+𝜇^−$ probe higher energy scales than what is directly accessible at the LHC and therefore the presence of new physics in such transitions,...

The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than O(1%), require theoretical calculations to include subleading corrections that were neglected so far. Precise determinations of leptonic and semi-leptonic decay rates, including $\text{QED}$ and strong...

The observation of a significant deviation in the muon g-2 relative to the Standard Model (SM) e+e- prediction is perhaps a harbinger of new muon interactions beyond the SM and in many models of physics beyond the SM (BSM) a significant rate of charged lepton flavour violating (CLFV) muon interactions is predicted. The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will extend the sensitivity to BSM CLFV...

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics successfully predicts many fundamental properties and interactions, but it is still incomplete. Models like baryogenesis or leptogenesis for the matter-antimatter asymmetry lead to an additional CP violation beyond the SM. In this context, electric dipole moments (EDMs), which violate time-reversal and parity symmetry, and by virtue of the CPT...

We consider a model involving a “visible” QCD axion with mass in the MeV range with flavour non-universal couplings to the Standard Model (SM) first generation fermions. Such a heavy axion must evade a variety of stringent constraints which precisely fix the couplings to the SM fields: the requirement of “pion-phobia” determines the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) charges of the light quarks to be 2/3 and...

Axions originally emerged as low-energy remnants of the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem. They also unavoidably contribute to the energy density of the Universe, quantified via the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom (Δ𝑁𝑒𝑓𝑓), which is constrained by cosmic microwave background experiments.

Recent experimental advances now severely constrain electroweak-scale WIMPs produced via thermal freeze-out, leading to a shift away from this standard paradigm. Here we consider an axion-like particle (ALP), the pseudo-Goldstone boson of an approximate $U(1)$ global symmetry spontaneously broken at a high scale $f_a$, as a mediator between the Standard model (SM) particles and the dark matter...

We propose a new search for Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), targeting Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) processes at the LHC. We consider nonresonant ALP-mediated VBS, where the ALP participates as an off-shell mediator. This process occurs whenever the ALP is too light to be produced resonantly, and it takes advantage of the derivative nature of ALP interactions with the electroweak Standard Model...

Axion-like particle (ALP) is one of the promising candidates of dark matter (DM). It can emerge from the dark sector with global U(1) symmetry. It is often (implicitly) assumed that the dark sector has a CP symmetry. However, since CP is violated within the SM, the dark sector with CP violation is also an interesting possibility. In this talk, we propose a new renormalizable model for ALP with...
