Electroweak anomalies: muon g-2, W mass, 95 GeV
This text mentions work from 2024 on. Those parts were partly written without a live literature search and have not been checked by an editor yet.
Some very precise electroweak and Higgs-sector measurements have disagreed with Standard Model predictions, which could signal new particles or mistakes in theory or experiment. Each needs to be confirmed or explained.
Why it matters
Precision tests reach mass scales far above direct collider reach.
