This tension is more transparent from the effective field theory perspective, in which the two phenomena are encoded in two very similar operators. However, with the ${\\cal O}(1)$ Wilson coefficients, the current upper bound on $\\mu \\to e \\gamma$ indicates a new-physics cutoff scale five orders smaller than that needed to eliminate the $(g-2)_\\mu$ anomaly. By summarizing all the formulae from the one-loop contributions to the muon $g-2$ with the internal-particle spin not larger than 1, we point out two general methods to reconcile the conflict between the muon $g-2$ and $\\mu \\to e \\gamma$: the GIM mechanism and the non-universal couplings. For the latter method, we use a simple scalar leptoquark model as an illustration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-15T10:10:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Ji", "11.30.Fs", "13.35.Bv", "14.60.Ef" ], "keywords": [ "correlation", "simple scalar leptoquark model", "current upper bound", "new-physics cutoff scale", "effective field theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevD.91.013006", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2015, "month": "Jan", "volume": 91, "number": 1, "pages": "013006" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1316498, "adsabs": "2015PhRvD..91a3006C" } } }
