Update on very light CP-odd scalar in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

In a previous work we have shown that a general two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM) with a very light CP-odd scalar can be compatible with electroweak precision data, such as the rho parameter, BR(b --> s gamma), R_b, A_b, BR(Upsilon --> A gamma), BR(eta --> A gamma), and (g-2) of muon. Prompted by the recent significant change in the theoretical status of the latter observable, we comment on the consequences for this model and update the allowed parameter region. It is found that the presence of a very light scalar with a mass of 0.2 GeV is still compatible with the new theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
