Viable Alternative to the Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-08-29 v1

Abstract

As an alternative to the standard model, we couple two scalar doublets such that, in the third family, one (H{\cal H}) couples only to the top quark, the other (HH), that is identified as the 126 GeV state already observed, to the bottom quark and the tau lepton. Three explicit predictions of the model are that the partial decay rate Γ(Hγγ)\Gamma(H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma) is 28.1\% higher than predicted by the standard model, and the two partial decay widths Γ(Hbˉb)\Gamma(H \rightarrow \bar{b}b) and Γ(Hτˉτ)\Gamma(H \rightarrow \bar{\tau}\tau) are both predicted to be greater than, or equal to, their standard model values.
