Abstract

Flavor violating Higgs signals, such as the top FCNC decay tch0t\to ch^0 and the LFV Higgs decay h0τμh^0\to \tau\mu, have been studied at the LHC. These signals can arise within the general Two-Higgs doublet model (THDM), where each Higgs doublet couples to all fermions types through Yukawa matrices Y1fY^f_1 and Y2fY^f_2. The Yukawa matrices can be assumed to have the same form or they could have different structures. In this paper we study the case when both Y1fY^f_1 and Y2fY^f_2 have completely different forms, but in such a way that they complement to produce a specific hermitian mass matrix. We find that for specific four-zero textures, the Flavor Violating Higgs couplings depend only on the free parameters tanβ\tan \beta, γf\gamma_f and the fermion masses. We use the current bounds on the low energy processes, to derive constraints on the Heavy Higgs boson mass, tanβ\tan \beta and γf\gamma_f. Then, we use these constraints to evaluate the LFV Higgs decays, which reach Branching ratios that could be tested at the LHC.
