| Summary:
We investigate long-range, purely leptophilic axial-vector interactions
mediated by a light gauge boson $A’$ that couples to charged leptons and, by
weak symmetry, to left-handed neutrinos. We analyze two realizations, a minimal
effective model with muon-only couplings and an anomaly-free axial $U(1)’$ with
inter-generation cancellations. In both cases, the solar neutrino flux acts as
an extended current that sources a macroscopic $A’$ field at Earth, with
spatial components aligned along the Sun-Earth direction. This field produces a
distinctive signature in storage-ring measurements of the muon anomalous
magnetic moment, $(g-2)_mu$, namely a diurnal, sign-changing contribution that
is positive during daytime and negative at night, superimposed on a
time-independent positive offset. We obtain bounds $g’ lesssim O(10^-19)$
in both model frameworks for a light, effectively massless mediator. For
completeness, we map the solar-neutrino-sourced potential to electron
spin-sensor experiments and find $g’ lesssim O(10^-22)$ in the electron
channel.
