Zusammenfassung:We calculate contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon from heavy neutral and charged Higgs bosons and new leptons in two-Higgs-doublet models extended by vectorlike leptons. We present detailed predictions of two models with type-II couplings to standard model fermions, motivated by a Z(2) symmetry and supersymmetry. In addition, we compare the results with the standard model extended by vectorlike leptons. We find that the model motivated by a Z(2) symmetry can generate much larger contributions to the magnetic moment compared to the standard model, even by two orders of magnitude due to tan(2) beta enhancement, while satisfying current constraints. As a consequence, the standard model explanation of the anomaly requires much larger corrections to muon couplings making this model easier to probe at future precision machines. Additionally, we find that the model with couplings motivated by supersymmetry typically leads to much smaller contributions to the magnetic moment as a result of cancellations. We also identify interesting scenarios where contributions from the charged Higgs boson can fully explain the anomaly.
