abstract

We revisit the possibility that light axion-like particles (ALPs) with lepton flavor violating couplings could give significant contributions to the electron's anomalous magnetic moment $g_e-2$. Unlike flavor diagonal lepton-ALP couplings, which are exclusively axial, lepton flavor violating couplings can have arbitrary chirality. Focusing on the $e$-$\tau$ ALP coupling, we find that the size of the contribution to $g_e-2$ depends strongly on the chirality of the coupling. A significant part of the parameter space for which such a coupling can explain experimental anomalies in $g_e-2$ can be probed at the Electron-Ion Collider, which is uniquely sensitive to the chirality of the coupling using the polarization of the electron beam.

  1. Neutron stars can shine a light on elusive lepton-flavor-violating dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Flavor blocking keeps lepton-flavor-violating dark matter from thermalizing inside neutron stars, so p-wave annihilation stays efficient and heats the star to observable temperatures.

  2. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.
