abstract

We investigate the possible size of $h\to bs$ in two-Higgs-doublet models with generic Yukawa couplings. Even though the corresponding rates are in general expected to be small due to the indirect constraints from $B_s\to\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $B_s$--$\overline{B}_s$ mixing, we find regions in parameter space where $h\to bs$ can have a sizable branching ratio well above 10\%. This requires a tuning of the neutral scalar masses and their couplings to muons, but then all additional constraints such as $B\to X_s \gamma$, $(g-2)_\mu$, and $h\to\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ are satisfied. In this case, $h\to bs$ can be a relevant background in $h\to b\bar{b}$ searches and vice versa due to the imperfect $b$-tagging purity. Furthermore, if $h\to bs$ is sizeable, one expects two more scalar resonances in the proximity of $m_h$. We briefly comment on other flavour violating Higgs decays and on the 95 GeV $\gamma\gamma$ resonance within generic two-Higgs-doublet models.

  1. $B\to K{+}$invisible, dark matter, and $CP$ violation in hyperon decays

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a two-Higgs-doublet plus scalar dark matter model, hyperon decay CP asymmetries can reach parts in a thousand, far above the standard model, while still satisfying kaon and dark matter constraints.

  2. Correlating $A \to \gamma\gamma$ with electric dipole moments in the two Higgs doublet model in light of the diphoton excesses at 95 GeV and 152 GeV

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The CP-odd scalar A in the flavor-aligned CP-violating 2HDM can explain the diphoton excesses at 95 and 152 GeV only in tuned regions that survive the electron EDM bound and predict measurable neutron and proton EDMs.

  3. On the CP Nature of the `95 GeV' Anomalies

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A projection study showing that HL-LHC tau-pair data could determine the CP mixing angle of a hypothetical 95 GeV resonance to within roughly 0.27 to 0.47 radians at 90% confidence.

  4. Interplay of $95$ GeV Diphoton Excess and Dark Matter in Supersymmetric Triplet Model

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A parameter scan shows the triplet-extended MSSM has regions that fit the 95 GeV diphoton signal, the 125 GeV Higgs mass, and the dark matter relic density simultaneously.

  5. Exploring Potential Higgs Resonances at 650 GeV and 95 GeV in the 2HDM Type III

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a 2HDM Type III, a 650 GeV CP-odd Higgs decaying via H(125)Z with H->γγ and Z->bb, plus a 95 GeV light Higgs, can accommodate both the CMS 650 GeV and the 95 GeV diphoton excesses at about 2.5 sigma.

  6. Higgs lepton flavor violating decays in Two Higgs Doublet Models

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A mini-review explaining that the type-III two Higgs doublet model can produce h to tau mu branching ratios near the present CMS bound while remaining compatible with tau to mu gamma and related flavor constraints.
