We show that the X17 vector boson, introduced to explain the 8Be anomalous decay, could play a role in the muon’s (electron’s) anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic Lamb shift anomaly. We compute an upper bound on the couplings of X17 to leptons and nucleons, analyzing these anomalies. We further constrain the possible kinetic mixing with the U(1)Y boson of the Standard Model by using the latest available data on the W boson mass.

Abstract

We show that the X17 vector boson, introduced to explain the 8Be anomalous decay, could play a role in the muon’s (electron’s) anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic Lamb shift anomaly. We compute an upper bound on the couplings of X17 to leptons and nucleons, analyzing these anomalies. We further constrain the possible kinetic mixing with the U(1)Y boson of the Standard Model by using the latest available data on the W boson mass.
