Resumen

In light of the recent result published by the Fermilab Muon ðg − 2Þ experiment, we investigate a simple model that includes particles of fractional electric charges: a color-singlet fermion and a scalar with charges 2=3e and 1=3e, respectively. The impact of these particles on the muon anomalous magnetic moment is examined, particularly the restrictions on their Yukawa couplings with the light leptons. Given that lepton °avor violation processes impose stringent constraints on certain scenarios beyond the Standard Model, we evaluate the one-loop contribution of the new particles to ðg − 2Þ in order to identify regions in the parameter space consistent with the Fermilab results and compatible with the current and projected limits on the branching ratio Brðμ ! eγÞ. Taking into account the current lower bound for the masses of fractionary charged particles, which is around 634 GeV, we show that the mass of the scalar particle with fractional charge must exceed 1 TeV. In particular, we present some estimatives for double production of the color-singlet fermion at the 14 TeV LHC. Finally, we also study the validity of our model in light of the QCD lattice results on the muon ðg − 2Þ. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
