Correlation between the Higgs Decay Rate to Two Photons and the Muon g - 2

Abstract

In the context of minimal supersymmetry with slepton mass universality we find that an enhancement in h \rightarrow gamma gamma by at least 40%, as hinted by present data, implies a deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by exactly the right amount to explain the observed anomaly. The enhancement in h \rightarrow gamma gamma selects a light stau with large left-right mixing, a light Bino, and heavy higgsinos. The corresponding parameters are compatible with thermal dark matter, predict small deviations in h \rightarrow Z gamma and h \rightarrow tau tau, and measurable violations of lepton universality.
