Shrnutí:The apparent tensions emerging from the comparison of experimental data of the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and electron to the Standard Model predictions ( Δ a μ , e ) could be interpreted as a potential signal of New Physics. Models encompassing a light vector boson have been known to offer a satisfactory explanation to Δ a μ , albeit subject to stringent experimental constraints. Here we explore a minimal extension of the Standard Model via a leptophilic vector boson Z ′ , under the hypothesis of strictly flavour-violating couplings of the latter to leptons. The most constraining observables to this ad-hoc construction emerge from lepton flavour universality violation (in Z and τ decays) and from rare charged lepton flavour violating transitions. Once these are accommodated, one can saturate the tensions in Δ a μ , but Δ a e is predicted to be Standard Model-like. We infer prospects for several observables, including leptonic Z decays and several charged lepton flavour violating processes. We also discuss potential signatures of the considered Z ′ at a future muon collider, emphasising the role of the μ + μ - → τ + τ - forward-backward asymmetry as a key probe of the model.
