The dipole ellipse from vector-like leptons at next-to-leading order
Abstract
We consider the SM extended by a 4th generation of vector-like leptons. This model generates strongly correlated contributions to the lepton masses, Higgs couplings and dipole moments. At leading order the Higgs coupling restricts the magnetic and electric dipole moments to an ellipse. Here we compute the one-loop corrections to the Higgs coupling and two-loop corrections to the dipole moments to obtain the correlation at next-to-leading order using the framework of SMEFT. In addition we resum the leading logarithmic corrections from SM couplings through the SMEFT renormalisation group equations. With these results we compute the RG improved correlation at NLO and discuss the implications for the muon, electron and tau correlations. Specifically, for the muon we find that the corrections contract the ellipse such that a larger part of parameter space becomes compatible with the updated SM value of the muon magnetic moment.
