A recent search for the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays of the Higgs boson, performed by CMS collaboration, reports an interesting deviation from the standard model (SM). The search conducted in the channel $H\rightarrow \mu\tau_e$ and…
We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…

Direct searches for lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decays in the $\tau \mu$ channel have been recently reported by the CMS collaboration. The results display a slight excess of signal events with a significance of 2.5$\sigma$, which…
We study a class of nonstandard interactions of the newly discovered 125 GeV Higgs-like resonance that are especially interesting probes of new physics: flavor violating Higgs couplings to leptons and quarks. These interaction can arise in…
Motivated by the recent CMS excess in a flavor violating Higgs decay $h \rightarrow \mu \tau$ as well as the anomaly of muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2), we consider a scenario where both the excess in $h \rightarrow \mu \tau$ and…
A two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is one of the minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM), and it is well-known that the general setup predicts the flavor-violating phenomena, mediated by neutral Higgs interactions. Recently the CMS…
We study the prospects to detect at hadron colliders the Lepton Flavour Violating Higgs decay H --> tau mu, which can reach substantial branching fractions in several extensions of the SM. Among them, the generic two higgs doublet model can…
The LHC has recently reported a slight excess in the $h\rightarrow \tau \mu$ channel. If this lepton flavor violating (LFV) decay is confirmed, an extension of the Standard Model (SM) will be required to explain it. In this paper we…
Within the $\nu$MSSM, a Minimal Supersymmetric neutrino See-saw Model, Lepton Flavour Violating Higgs couplings are strongly enhanced at large $\tan\beta$ ($\gsim30$), which can lead to BR$(H^0/A^0 \to \tau\mu) \simeq O(10^{-4})$, for…
We study lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in two models, with the recently found hint for Higgs $\to \mu \tau$ at CMS as a benchmark value for the branching ratio. The first model uses the discrete flavor symmetry group $A_4$, broken at…
Lepton flavor violating Higgs decays can arise in flavor symmetry models where the Higgs sector is responsible for both the electroweak and the flavor symmetry breaking. Here we advocate an $S_4$ three-Higgs-doublet model where tightly…
We introduce a new method to search for the lepton-flavor violating Higgs decays $h\rightarrow\tau\mu$ and $h\rightarrow\tau e$ in the leptonic $\tau$ decay channel. In particular, the Standard Model background is estimated in a fully data…
We compute the lepton flavour violating couplings of Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and show that they can induce the decays (h,H,A) --> mu tau at non-negligible rates, for large tan(beta) and sizeable smuon-stau…
We show that supplementing the Standard Model by only a second Higgs doublet, a combined explanation of $h\to e\tau$, $h\to \mu\tau$, $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$, the $W$ mass and $R({D^{(*)}})$ as well as the excess in $t\to bH^+(130\,{\rm…
We study the lepton flavor violating processes of $\tau^-\to\mu^-PP$ decays with $PP=K^+K^-,K^0\bar{K}^0,\pi^+\pi^-,\pi^0\pi^0$ in the framework of two Higgs doublet model III by virtue of the Chiral Perturbation Theory. In this model, only…
Recently, the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations have reported direct searches for the 125 GeV Higgs decay with lepton flavor violation, $h\rightarrow \mu \tau$. In this work, we analyze the signal of the lepton flavour violating (LFV) Higgs…
The lepton flavour violating (LFV) $\tau$ decays $\tau\to (e,\mu)\gamma$ and $\tau\to 3\mu$ are investigated in the frameworks of the TeV scale type I see-saw and Higgs Triplet (or type II see-saw) models. Predictions for the rates of these…
The new round of experiments, MEG II, COMET/Mu2e, and Mu3e, would soon start to push the $\mu \to e\gamma$, $\mu N \to eN$ conversion, and $\mu \to 3e$ frontier, while Belle II would probe $\tau \to \mu\gamma$ and $\tau \to 3\mu$. In the…
A discovery of the flavor violating decay h --> tau mu at the LHC would require extra sources of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) beyond the Higgs in order to reconcile it with the bounds from tau --> mu gamma, barring fine-tuned…
