The g - 2 of the muon in localized gravity models

The (g - 2) of the muon is well known to be an important model building constraint on theories beyond the Standard Model. In this Letter, we examine the contributions to (g - 2)μ arising in the Randall-Sundrum model of localized gravity for the case where the Standard Model gauge fields and fermions are both in the bulk. Using the current experimental world average measurement for (g - 2)μ, we find that strong constraints can be placed on the mass of the lightest gauge Kaluza-Klein excitation for a narrow part of the allowed range of the assumed universal 5-dimensional fermion mass parameter, v. However, employing both perturbativity and fine-tuning constraints we find that we can further restrict the allowed range of the parameter v to only one fourth of its previous size. The scenario with the SM in the RS bulk is thus tightly constrained, being viable for only a small region of the parameter space.
