Description
The Muon-Specific Model is a version of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with a flavour-breaking symmetry that enhances or suppresses scalars' interactions with muons, compared with other 2HDMs. It was proposed by Abe, Sato, and Yagyu in 2017 in an attempt to explain the muon g-2 anomaly. We will review the main tenets of the model, including the interesting feature of it containaing flavour-violating interactions but no flavour-changing neutral currents. We will then proceed to show anaylse the predictions for the Higgs dimuon rate at the LHC within this model, as well as its contributions to the muon g-2 with added vector-like leptons.
