Decays of Higgs boson-like particles into multileptons is a well-motivated process for investigating physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). A unique feature of this final state is the precision with which the SM is known. As a result,…

In this paper, we propose two novel signatures of Higgs decays to search for electron-muon flavor violation. These signatures arise from the presence of a light pseudoscalar into which the 125-GeV Higgs boson decays. The pseudoscalar…
