FCNC decays of the Higgs bosons in the BGL model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-09-26 v1

Abstract

We consider flavor-changing decays of neutral Higgs bosons in the context of CP-conserving BGL model - a variant of 2HDM Type 3 model suggested by Branco, Grimus and Lavoura - in which tree-level FCNC couplings are suppressed by elements of known fermion mixing matrices. The relevant regions of parameter space compatible with experimental restrictions on the SM Higgs properties are studied. We also include current bounds on h-> mu tau into consideration. In addition, different FCNC decay modes are analyzed for heavier Higgs states (H/A) and conservative estimates for Br(A/H->mu tau) are provided. We updated previous studies and found that it can not be more than 30% for heavy Higgses with masses around 350 GeV.
