Measuring the fermion Yukawa coupling constants is important for understanding the origin of the fermion masses and its relationship to the spontaneously electroweak symmetry breaking. On the other hand, some new physics models will change…
Motivated by our limited knowledge of the Higgs couplings to first two generation fermions, we analyze the collider phenomenology of a class of two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) with a non-standard Yukawa sector. One Higgs doublet is mainly…

We consider multi-Higgs-doublet models which, for symmetry reasons, have a universal Higgs-Yukawa (HY) coupling, $g$. This is identified with the top quark $g=g_t\approx 1$. The models are concordant with the quasi-infrared fixed point, and…
The Higgs-fermion couplings are sensitive probes of possible new physics behind a stable light Higgs particle. It is then essential to identify the flavour pattern of those interactions. We consider the case in which a strong dynamics lies…

We perform a detailed study of the exclusive Higgs decays $h\to MZ$ and $h\to MW$, where $M$ is a pseudoscalar or vector meson, using the QCD factorization approach. We allow for the presence of new-physics effects in the form of modified…
We consider constraints from flavor physics on two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) with general, flavor-diagonal, Yukawa couplings. Analyzing the charged Higgs contribution to different observables, we find that $b\to s\gamma$ transitions and…
In this paper, we investigate the decay of Higgs boson to $h_c$ plus a photon in the NRQCD theoretical framework. Comparing with the Higgs decay to $J/\psi$ plus a photon channel, this process has not indirect contribution, can be used to…
The long-standing flavor anomalies in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to c \ell \nu$ persist. In this work, we explore a specific flavor-gauged two-Higgs doublet model (FG2HDM) extended by a scalar singlet, with an imposed $U(1)$ flavor…
