AI 中文摘要

我们研究MEG-II和Mu3e等高强度缪子实验通过轻子味违反衰变μ⁺→e⁺χχ̄揭示暗物质(DM)的潜力。我们用六维四费米子算符描述 underlying 相互作用,并系统探索所有允许的洛伦兹结构。结果表明,对米歇尔谱的精确测量可探测DM质量约1 MeV以上时量级为TeV的新物理能标。对于更轻的DM,其信号局限于米歇尔端点附近,MEG-II中的辐射衰变μ⁺→e⁺χχ̄γ可提供互补探测窗口,灵敏度与非辐射道相当,部分区域更强。值得注意的是,当再加热温度低于几十MeV但高于大爆炸核合成(BBN)界限时,MEG-II和Mu3e可探测到通过同一味违反(LFV)相互作用的冻入机制产生观测到的暗物质丰度的参数区域。

英文摘要

We investigate the potential of high-intensity muon experiments such as MEG~II and Mu3e to uncover dark matter (DM) through the lepton-flavor-violating decay $μ^+\to e^+χ\barχ$. We describe the underlying interactions in terms of dimension-six four-fermion operators and systematically explore all allowed Lorentz structures. We show that precision measurements of the Michel spectrum can probe new-physics scales of ${\cal O}({\rm TeV})$ for DM masses above approximately $1~{\rm MeV}$. For lighter DM, whose signal is confined close to the Michel endpoint, the radiative decay $μ^+\to e^+χ\barχγ$ at MEG~II opens a complementary window, with sensitivity comparable to and, in some regions, stronger than that of the non-radiative channel. Remarkably, for reheating temperatures below the tens-of-MeV scale but above the BBN bound, MEG~II and Mu3e can probe regions in which freeze-in through the very same LFV interactions accounts for the observed DM abundance.
