Abstract

The rare decay hΥγh \rightarrow \Upsilon \gamma has a very small rate in the Standard Model, due to a strong cancellation between the direct and indirect diagrams. Models with a changed hbbhbb coupling can thus lead to a great increase in this decay. Current limits on two Higgs doublet models still allow for the possibility that the hbbhbb coupling might have a sign opposite to the Standard Model; the so-called "wrong-sign". We show how hΥγh \rightarrow \Upsilon \gamma can be used to put limits on the wrong-sign solutions.
