Abstract

The Higgs mediated flavor violating bottom-strange quarks transitions induced at the one-loop level by a nondiagonal HbsHbs coupling are studied within the context of an effective Yukawa sector that comprises SUL(2)×UY(1)SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)-invariant operators of up to dimension-six. The most recent experimental result on BXsγB\to X_s\gamma with hard photons is employed to constraint the HbsHbs vertex, which is used to estimate the branching ratio for the BsγγB_s\to \gamma\gamma decay. It is found that the BsγγB_s\to \gamma\gamma decay can reach a branching ratio of the order of 4×1084\times 10^{-8}, which is 2 orders of magnitude more stringent than the current experimental limit.
