Collider Prospects for Muon $g-2$ in General Two Higgs Doublet Model
2021
Recent progress on muon $g-2$ measurement prompts one to take it even more seriously. In the general two Higgs doublet model that allows extra Yukawa couplings, we take a simplified approach of single enhanced coupling. We fix the charged lepton flavor violating coupling, $\rho_{\tau\mu} = \rho_{\mu\tau}$, via the one-loop mechanism, for illustrative masses of the heavy scalar $H$ and pseudoscalar $A$, where we assume $m_A = m_{H^+}$. Since extra top Yukawa couplings are plausibly the largest, we turn on $\rho_{tt}$ and find that LHC search for $gg \to H,\,A \to \tau\mu$ gives more stringent bound than from $\tau\to \mu\gamma$ with two-loop mechanism. Turning on a second extra top Yukawa coupling, $\rho_{tc}$, can loosen the bound on $\rho_{tt}$, but LHC constraints can again be more stringent than from $B \to D\mu\nu$ vs $De\nu$ universality. This means that evidence for $H,\,A \to \tau\mu$ may yet emerge with full LHC Run 2 data, while direct search for $\tau^\pm\mu^\mp bW^+$ or $t\bar cbW^+$ (plus conjugate) may also bear fruit.
