摘要
The W-boson mass (m(w) = (80.4335 +/- 0.0094) GeV) measured by the Collider Detector at Fermilab Collaboration is greater than the standard model (SM) prediction at a confidence level of 7 sigma, strongly suggesting the presence of new particles or fields. In the literature, various new particles and/or fields have been introduced to explain the astrophysical and experimental data, and their presence, in principle, may also enhance the W-boson mass. In this study, we investigate axion-like particle (ALP), dark photon (DP), and chameleon dark energy (DE) models for a solution to the W-boson mass excess. We find that the ALP and DP interpretations have been significantly narrowed down by global electroweak fits. The possibility of attributing the W-boson mass anomaly to the chameleon DE is ruled out by other experiments.
