Explaining muon $g-2$ data in the $\mu\nu$SSM

Abstract

We analyze the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $g-2$ in the $\mu\nu$SSM. This $R$-parity violating model solves the $\mu$ problem reproducing simultaneously neutrino data, only with the addition of right-handed neutrinos. In the framework of the $\mu\nu$SSM, light left muon-sneutrino and wino masses can be naturally obtained driven by neutrino physics. This produces an increase of the dominant chargino-sneutrino loop contribution to muon $g-2$, solving the gap between the theoretical computation and the experimental data. To analyze the parameter space, we sample the $\mu\nu$SSM using a likelihood data-driven method, paying special attention to reproduce the current experimental data on neutrino and Higgs physics, as well as flavor observables such as $B$ and $\mu$ decays. We then apply the constraints from LHC searches for events with multi-leptons + MET on the viable regions found. They can probe these regions through chargino-chargino, chargino-neutralino and neutralino-neutralino pair production. We conclude that significant regions of the parameter space of the $\mu\nu$SSM can explain muon $g-2$ data.
