Abstract

We study the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a μ , and lepton flavor violating decay μ→eγ in TeV scale B−L extension of the Standard Model (SM) with inverse seesaw mechanism. We show that the B−L contributions to a μ are severely constrained; therefore, the SM contribution remains intact. We also emphasize that the current experimental limit of BR(μ→eγ) can be satisfied for a wide range of parameter space and it can be within the reach of MEG experiment.
