Doubling spectrum of SM plus second Higgs doublet free parameters x masses and mixings, µ and tan β MSSM has particular type of 2HDM Higgs sector: Type II 2HDM share relevant properties for (g µ 2) [Maria Krawczyk] F.

F. Jegerlehner KWW LHC 2009, Warsaw, May

25 And, many ways to describe EW symmetry breaking Role for LHC searches: 3 σ deviation in muon g-2 (if real) requires sign(µ) positive and tan β preferable large Note: sign(µ) cannot be obtained from LHC (hadron collider) tan β can t be pinned down by LHC (hadron collider) so muon g-2 important hint for constraining SUSY parameter space (is SUSY) More scenarios: two Higgs doublet models Maria Krawzcyk s field F.

Essentially rescaling weak SM contribution with (M W /M W ) , i.e., 1% of only, too small to be of relevance. extra dimensions, graviton excitations etc Integrating out the extra coordinates under the hypothesis of factorization one obtains M Pl = M Pl / 8π = ( 8π G N ) 1 = GeV (G N Newton s gravitational constant) from the relation M 2 Pl = M 2+ D V = M 2+ D (2π R) = M 2+ D R. Phenomenology: 1/R is about 300 GeV or larger, contributions to g 2 small, model dependent, towers of Kaluza-Klein excitations: Barbieri, Hall and Nomura (2) KK a µ = g s 2 12c 2 (m µ R) 2 F. Jegerlehner KWW LHC 2009, Warsaw, May

28 numerically, for 1/R = 370 ± 70 GeV, it is given by (2) KK a µ = a(2) EW µ = ( ) Appelquist, Chang and Dobrescu model (universal extra dimension), (2) KK a (2) EW µ = a µ = 53.7[ 24.8] which again for any sensible value of R yields a result well inside the uncertainties of the SM prediction.
