Anthropic solution to the magnetic muon anomaly: the charged see-saw    [PDF]

Kristjan Kannike, Martti Raidal, David M. Straub, Alessandro Strumia
We present models of new physics that can explain the muon g-2 anomaly in
accord with with the assumption that the only scalar existing at the weak scale
is the Higgs, as suggested by anthropic selection. Such models are dubbed
"charged see-saw" because the muon mass term is mediated by heavy leptons. The
electroweak contribution to the g-2 gets modified by order one factors, giving
an anomaly of the same order as the observed hint, which is strongly correlated
with a modification of the Higgs coupling to the muon.
