The HyperCP collaboration observed three events for the decay Sigma to p mu+ mu-. They suggested that new physics may be required to understand the implied decay rate and the observed dimuon invariant mass distribution. Motivated by this…
A recent HyperCP observation of three events in the decay Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- is suggestive of a new particle with mass 214.3 MeV. In order to confront models that contain a light Higgs boson with this observation, it is necessary to…

We study the potential of radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) and of the phi mesons to search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson, proposed as a possible interpretation of Sigma+ --> p mu+mu- events observed by the HyperCP collaboration at…
We have previously proposed a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM), the A_1^0, as a candidate to explain the HyperCP observations in Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^-. In this paper we calculate…
The HyperCP collaboration has observed three events for the decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$. The three events may be interpreted as a new narrow-width CP-odd scalar $a$ with the mass $214.3 \pm 0.5$ MeV. Here $a$ decays dominantly into…
We search for a non-SM-like CP-odd Higgs boson (a0_1) with m(a0_1)< 2m(b) in radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S), using 21.5M Upsilon(1S) mesons directly produced in e+e- annihilation. We investigate a0_1 --> tau+tau- and a0_1 --> mu+mu-…
Using $J/\psi$ radiative decays from 9.0 billion $J/\psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector, we search for di-muon decays of a $CP$-odd light Higgs boson ($A^0$), predicted by many new physics models beyond the Standard Model,…
To explain the anomalously large decay rate of $\Sigma^+\to p+\mu^+\mu^-$, it was proposed that a new mechanism where a light CP-odd pseudoscalar boson of $m_{A_1^0}=214.3$ MeV makes a crucial contribution. Later, some authors have studied…
The HyperCP experiment reported the observation of three events for the $\Sigma^+ \rightarrow p \mu^+\mu^-$ decay. The dimuon masses of the observed events are clustered within the detector resolution of 1 MeV/$c^2$. These decays might be…
The observation of three events for the decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ with a dimuon invariant mass of $214.3\pm0.5$MeV by the HyperCP collaboration imply that a new particle X may be needed to explain the observed dimuon invariant mass…
The HyperCP (E871) experiment collected several billion hyperon decays in the 1997 and 1999 Fermilab fixed-target running periods. Using the data from the 1999 run, we report on the observation of three isolated events with reconstructed…
If the HyperCP three events for the decay of $\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ are explained by a new pseudoscalar (axial-vector) boson $X_{P(A)}$ with a mass of 214.3 MeV, we study the constraints on the couplings between $X_{P(A)}$ and fermions…

The discovery of a light, singlet-like pseudoscalar Higgs boson, $A_1$, of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) could provide a hallmark signature of non-minimal supersymmetry. We review here the potential of the LHC to…
