Description
Summary:When dark matter candidate and its parent particles are nearly degenerate, it would be difficult to probe them at the Large Hadron Collider directly. We propose to explore their quantum loop effects at the CEPC through the golden channel process e+e−→μ+μ−. We use a renormalizable toy model consisting of a new scalar and a fermion to describe new physics beyond the Standard Model. The new scalar and fermion are general multiplets of the SU(2)L×U(1)Y symmetry, and couple to the muon lepton through Yukawa interaction. We calculate their loop contributions to anomalous γμ+μ− and Zμ+μ− couplings which can be applied to many new physics models. The prospects of their effects at the CEPC are also examined assuming a 2‰ accuracy in the cross section measurement.
