Methodology to determine the spin-parity of muon-philic $X$ boson in $J/\psi \to {\mu }^{-}{\mu }^{+}X$ decay

Abstract

The present anomaly in muon anaomalous magnetic moment can be explained by the presence of a muon-philic $X$ boson which could be a scalar particle or a vector particle with mass less than twice the mass of muon. The muon-philic $X$ boson could interestingly not be a parity eigenstate as well. If there exists such a boson, irrespective of its parity, it can be directly observed in the decay $J/\psi \to {\mu }^{-}{\mu }^{+}X$ where $X$ remains invisible. We show that by using the angular distribution or the distribution of events in the square Dalitz plot, along with two well defined dimensionless ratios, one can clearly distinguish among the various spin-parity possibilities. This would constitute an important probe of both the existence and the nature of this new physics possibility.
