$W$-boson mass anomaly: probing the models of axion-like particle, dark photon and Chameleon dark energy [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2204.04183


The $W$-boson mass ($m_{W}=80.4335 \pm 0.009 \mathrm{GeV}$) measured by the CDF collaboration is in excess of the standard model (SM) prediction at a confidence level of $7\sigma$, which is strongly in favor of the presence of new particles or fields. In the literature, various new particles and/or fields have been introduced to explain the astrophysical and experimental data. Here we test three of them, including the axion-like particle, the dark photon as well as the Chameleon dark energy, with the CDF II $W$-boson mass measurement. We find feasible parameter regions for models of axion-like particle and dark photon while show that the Chameleon dark energy has been stringently constrained.
