In the Standard Model (SM), the branching ratio for the decay [Formula: see text] is helicity suppressed and predicted to be very small [Formula: see text]. We consider two natural extensions of the SM as the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) and the neutrino minimal Standard Model ([Formula: see text]MSM) with additional singlet scalar, whose main feature is that they can lead to an enhanced [Formula: see text]. In the 2HDM, the smallness of the neutrino mass is explained due to the smallness of the second Higgs doublet vacuum expectation value. Moreover, the [Formula: see text]MSM extension with additional singlet field can explain the [Formula: see text] anomaly. The considered models demonstrate that the [Formula: see text] decay is a clean probe of new physics scale well above 100 TeV, that is complementary to rare [Formula: see text] decay, and provide a strong motivation for its sensitive search in a near future low-energy experiment.

Scalar fields are favorite among the possible candidates for the dark energy. Most frequently discussed are those with degenerate minima at [Formula: see text]. In this paper, a slightly modified two-Higgs doublet model is taken to contain the Higgs field(s) as the dark energy candidate(s). The model considered has two nondegenerate minima at [Formula: see text], instead of one degenerate minimum at [Formula: see text]. The component fields of one SU(2) doublet ([Formula: see text]) act as the standard model (SM) Higgs, while the component fields of the second doublet ([Formula: see text]) are taken to be the dark energy candidates (lying in the true vacuum). It is found that one can arrange for late time acceleration (dark energy) by using an SU(2) Higgs doublet, whose vacuum expectation value is zero, in the quintessential regime.

A model for the 17 keV Dirac neutrino is considered in the framework of the SU(2) × U(1) theory. No right-handed neutrinos are introduced. The Dirac mass for the neutrino arises from the Le+Lτ–Lμ invariant couplings of the left-handed neutrinos to an SU(2) triplet. An SU(2) singlet field is introduced to suppress the Majoron coupling to the Z. This makes the model consistent with the LEP results on the invisible Z width. The singlet vacuum expectation value ω is constrained to be ≤O(80 MeV) from cosmological considerations. For, ω≈80 MeV, the 17 keV neutrino is shown to provide the bulk of the dark matter.

A supersymmetry-motivated two Higgs doublet model with equal vacuum expectation values for the two neutral Higgs and with a physical charged Higgs mass of 80–100 GeV is carefully examined in the context of its implications for [Formula: see text] mixing. Even with this conservative choice of Higgs parameters, the lower bound on the top quark mass coming from the ARGUS data is found to be considerably relaxed. An upper bound is also set, using results from CLEO and Mark II.

This review deals with the recent resurgence of interest in adding a second scalar doublet (η+, η0) to the Standard Model of particle interactions. In most studies, it is taken for granted that η0 should have a nonzero vacuum expectation value, even if it may be very small. What if there is an exactly conserved symmetry which ensures 〈η0 〉 = 0? The phenomenological ramifications of this idea include dark matter, radiative neutrino mass, leptogenesis, and grand unification.

Abstract Symmetries of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) potential that can be extended to the whole Lagrangian, i.e. the CP-symmetries CP1, CP2, CP3 and the Higgs-family symmetries Z2, U(1) and SO(3) are discussed. Sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of constraints on masses and physical couplings for the potential to respect each of these symmetries are found. Each symmetry can be realized through several alternative cases, each case being a set of relations among physical parameters. We will show that some of those relations are invariant under the renormalization group, but others are not. The cases corresponding to each symmetry group are illustrated by analyzing the interplay between the potential and the vacuum expectation values.
