Description
The tau anomalous magnetic moment g–2 strikingly evades experimental measurement, but its larger mass implies greater sensitivity to new physics than the muon counterpart, which reports a longstanding 3–4 sigma tension. Interestingly, the only two dimension-6 SMEFT operators that modify tau g–2 at tree-level involve Higgs–gauge–fermion couplings. We propose a new strategy using the LHC as a photon collider, low multiplicity triggers, and recent advances in soft lepton reconstruction to open new sensitivity beyond LEP to these SMEFT operators and BSM contributions to tau g–2.
