Abstract: (Springer)
The Fermilab Muon g− 2 collaboration recently announced the first result of measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g− 2), which confirmed the previous result at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and thus the discrepancy with its Standard Model prediction. We revisit low-scale supersymmetric models that are naturally capable to solve the muon g− 2 anomaly, focusing on two distinct scenarios: chargino-contribution dominated and pure-bino-contribution dominated scenarios. It is shown that the slepton pair-production searches have excluded broad parameter spaces for both two scenarios, but they are not closed yet. For the chargino-dominated scenario, the models with mμ~Lmχ~1± {m}_{{\tilde{\mu}}_{\mathrm{L}}}\gtrsim {m}_{{\tilde{\chi}}_1^{\pm }} are still widely allowed. For the bino-dominated scenario, we find that, although slightly non-trivial, the region with low tan β with heavy higgsinos is preferred. In the case of universal slepton masses, the low mass regions with mμ~ {m}_{\tilde{\mu}} ≲ 230 GeV can explain the g− 2 anomaly while satisfying the LHC constraints. Furthermore, we checked that the stau-bino coannihilation works properly to realize the bino thermal relic dark matter. We also investigate heavy staus case for the bino-dominated scenario, where the parameter region that can explain the muon g− 2 anomaly is stretched to mμ~ {m}_{\tilde{\mu}} ≲ 1.3 TeV.
