Description:
The deviation between the prediction based on the standard model and the measurement of the muon $$g{-}2$$ g - 2 is currently at $$3{-}4 sigma $$ 3 - 4 σ . If this discrepancy is attributable to new physics, it is expected that the new contributions to the tau $$g{-}2$$ g - 2 even larger than those of muon due to its large mass. However, it is much more difficult to directly measure the tau $$g{-}2$$ g - 2 because of its short lifetime. In this report, we consider the effect of the tau $$g{-}2$$ g - 2 at $$e^-e^+$$ e - e + colliders using a model independent approach. Using the tau pair production channel at the Large Electron Position Collider (LEP), we have determined the allowed range for the new physics contribution of the tau $$g{-}2$$ g - 2 assuming a q-square-dependence ansatz for the magnetic form factor. We also investigated the prospect at future $$e^+e^-$$ e + e - colliders, such as International Linear Collider, the Compact Linear Collider, the Future Circular $$e^+e^-$$ e + e - Collider, and Circular Electron Positron Collider, and determined the expected allowed range for the new physics contribution to the tau anomalous magnetic moment. The best limits are about $$4{-}5$$ 4 - 5 times more severe than the LEP one due to the beam polarization and the high luminosities at future colliders.
