The two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), as one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM), is obtained by adding another scalar doublet to the SM and is featured by a pair of charged Higgs, which could affect many low-energy processes. In the “Higgs basis” for a generic 2HDM, only one scalar doublet gets a nonzero vacuum expectation value and, under the criterion of minimal flavor violation, the other one is fixed to be either color-singlet or color-octet, which are named as type III and type C 2HDM, respectively. In this paper, we study the charged-Higgs effects of these two models on the K0-K¯0 mixing, an ideal process to probe New Physics (NP) beyond the SM. Firstly, we perform a complete one-loop computation of the box diagrams relevant to the K0-K¯0 mixing, keeping the mass and momentum of the external strange quark up to the second order. Together with the up-to-date theoretical inputs, we then give a detailed phenomenological analysis, in the cases of both real and complex Yukawa couplings of the charged Higgs to quarks. The parameter spaces allowed by the current experimental data on the mass difference ΔmK and the CP-violating parameter ϵK are obtained and the differences between these two 2HDMs are investigated, which are helpful to distinguish them from each other from a phenomenological point of view.

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.

The constraints from the measurements of the [Formula: see text] decay rate on the parameter space of 3-Higgs Doublet Models (3HDMs), where all the doublets have nonzero vacuum expectation values, are studied at the next-to-leading order in QCD. In order to naturally avoid the presence of flavour changing neutral currents at the tree level, we impose two softly-broken discrete [Formula: see text] symmetries. This gives rise to five independent types of 3HDMs that differ in their Yukawa couplings. We show that in all these 3HDMs (including the case of type-II-like Yukawa interactions) both masses of the two charged Higgs bosons [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be smaller than the top mass [Formula: see text] while complying with the constraints from [Formula: see text]. As an interesting phenomenological consequence, the branching ratios of the charged Higgs bosons decay into the [Formula: see text] final states can be as large as [Formula: see text] when their masses are taken to be below [Formula: see text] in two of the five 3HDMs (named as Type-Y and Type-Z). This light charged Higgs boson scenario provides a hallmark 3HDM signature that cannot be realised in [Formula: see text] symmetric 2-Higgs doublet models. We find that in the Type-Y and Type-Z 3HDMs the scenario with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is ruled out by the direct searches at the LHC, but in the Type-Y 3HDM [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is allowed by [Formula: see text] and direct searches at LEP2, Tevatron and LHC due to the reduced sensitivity of these searches to the degenerate case [Formula: see text]. The cases where only one or both charged Higgs bosons are above the top quark mass are also naturally allowed in the both Type-Y and Type-Z 3HDMs.

In several frameworks for leptons sectors of Two Higgs Doublet Models, we calculate the magnetic dipole moment for different flavor types of neutrino. Computations are carried out by assuming a normal hierarchy for neutrino masses, and analyzing the process [Formula: see text] with a charged Higgs boson into the loop. The analysis was performed by sweeping the charged Higgs mass and taking into account the experimental constraints for relevant parameters in Two Higgs Doublet Models with and without flavor changing neutral currents; obtaining magnetic dipole moments close to the experimental thresholds for tau neutrinos in type II and lepton-specific cases. In the neutrino-specific scenario, the contribution of new physics could be sizeable to the current measurement for flavor magnetic dipole moment. This fact leads to excluding possible zones in the parameter space of charged Higgs mass and vacuum expectation value of the second doublet.

AbstractIn this work, we study the potential of searching for triply charged Higgs boson originating from a complex Higgs quadruplet in the final state with at least three same-sign leptons. A detailed collider analysis of the SM backgrounds and signals is performed at a 100 TeV pp collider for the triply charged Higgs boson mass below 1 TeV and the Higgs quadruplet vacuum expectation value $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ ranging from $$1.5\times 10^{-9}~\text {GeV}$$ 1.5 × 10 - 9 GeV to $$1.3~\text {GeV}$$ 1.3 GeV and the mass splitting $$\Delta m$$ Δ m between the nearby states of the Higgs quadruplet satisfying $$|\Delta m|\lesssim 30~\text {GeV}$$ | Δ m | ≲ 30 GeV . About $$100~\text {fb}^{-1}$$ 100 fb - 1 of data are required at most for $$5\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery. We also revisit the sensitivity at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and find that $$5\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery of the triply charged Higgs boson below 1 TeV can be reached for a relatively small $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ . For example, if $$v_\Delta =10^{-6}~\text {GeV}$$ v Δ = 10 - 6 GeV and $$\Delta m=0$$ Δ m = 0 , the integrated luminosity of $$330~\text {fb}^{-1}$$ 330 fb - 1 is needed. But for a relatively large $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ , i.e., $$v_\Delta \gtrsim 10^{-3}~\text {GeV}$$ v Δ ≳ 10 - 3 GeV , the triply charged Higgs boson above about 800 GeV cannot be discovered even in the high-luminosity LHC era. For $$\Delta m>0$$ Δ m > 0 , the cascade decays are open and the sensitivity can be improved depending on the value of $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ .

A mechanism to generate realistic fermion mass hierarchies based on supersymmetric gauged U(1)_FU(1)F symmetry in flat five-dimensional (5D) spacetime is proposed. The fifth dimension is compactified on S^1/Z_2S1/Z2 orbifold. The standard model fermions charged under the extra abelian symmetry along with their superpartners live in the 5D bulk. Bulk masses of fermions are generated by the vacuum expectation value of N=2N=2 superpartner of U(1)_FU(1)F gauge field, and they are proportional to U(1)_FU(1)F charges of respective fermions. This decides localization of fermions in the extra dimension, which in turn gives rise to exponentially suppressed Yukawa couplings in the effective 4D theory. Anomaly cancellation puts stringent constraints on the allowed U(1)_FU(1)F charges which leads to correlations between the masses of quarks and leptons. We perform an extensive numerical scan and obtain several solutions for anomaly-free U(1)_FU(1)F, which describe the observed pattern of fermion masses and mixing with all the fundamental parameters of order unity. It is found that the possible existence of SM singlet neutrinos substantially improves the spectrum of solutions by offering more freedom in choosing U(1)_FU(1)F charges. The model predicts Z^\primeZ′ boson mediating flavour violating interactions in both the quark and lepton sectors with the couplings which can be explicitly determined from the Yukawa couplings.

Although absent at the tree level in models with only doublet and singlet Higgs representations, the WZH coupling can be induced at the one-loop level. We examine the size of this induced coupling in the two Higgs doublet model due to fermion as well as Higgs/gauge boson loops. Such couplings could provide a new mechanism for charged Higgs production at colliders and are ‘backgrounds’ to new physics beyond the Standard Model. We find, however, that these couplings are very weak for all regions of the parameter space explored.

A texture-zeros is an approach to reduce the number of free parameters in Yukawa couplings and it is one of the most attractive ones. In our paper, we discuss the origin of zero-structure in texture-zeros by S3 flavor symmetry approach. Some of electroweak doublet Higgs fields have vanishing vacuum expectation value (VEV) which leads to vanishing elements in quark and lepton mass matrices. Then, the structure of supersymmetric scalar potential is analyzed and Higgs fields have non-trivial S3 charges. As a prediction of our paper, a lower bound of a MNS matrix element, Ue3 ≥ 0.04, is obtained. The suppression of flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC) mediated by the Higgs fields is discussed and lower bounds of the Higgs masses are derived.

The oblique parameters S, T and U and their higher-order extensions (V, W and X) are observables that combine electroweak precision data to quantify deviation from the Standard Model. These parameters were calculated at one loop in the basis-independent CP-violating Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). The scalar parameter space of the 2HDM was randomly sampled within limits imposed by unitarity and found to produce values of the oblique parameters within experimental bounds, with the exception of T. The experimental limits on T were used to predict information about the mass of the charged Higgs boson and the difference in mass between the charged Higgs boson and the heaviest neutral Higgs boson. In particular, it was found that the 2HDM predicts -600 GeV < mH± - m3 < 100 GeV , with values of mH± > 250 GeV being preferred. The mass scale of the new physics (M NP ) produced by random sampling was consistently fairly high, with the average of the scalar masses falling between 400 and 800 GeV for [Formula: see text], although the model can be tuned to produce a light neutral Higgs mass (~120 GeV). Hence, the values produced for V, W and X fell well within 0.01 of zero, confirming the robustness of the linear expansion approximation. Taking the CP-conserving limit of the model was found to not significantly affect the values generated for the oblique parameters.

We examine the possibility of finding charged Higgs bosons (H±) at the SSC. The charged Higgs boson is produced with a top quark via a gluon+bottom quark interaction (g+b→H+t). For the two Higgs doublet models, H± decays predominantly into t+b. Since the background from QCD processes will be very severe for this decay mode, we studied the H±→τ+ν decay mode. Even for this mode, background from the processes pp→W+t+spectators→ℓ+νℓ+t+spectators will be very high. In the two Higgs doublet models, it is very difficult to extract the charged Higgs signal for reasonable values of the ratio of the two vacuum expectation values ( tan β=v1/v2).
