Flavor Changing Heavy Higgs Interactions at the LHC (1506.00651v2)

Published 1 Jun 2015 in hep-ph

Abstract: A general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is adopted to study the signature of flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decay $\phi0 \to t\bar{c}+\bar{t}c$, where $\phi0$ could be a CP-even scalar ($H0$) or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A0$). Measurement of the light 125 GeV neutral Higgs boson ($h0$) couplings at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) favor the decoupling limit or the alignment limit of a 2HDM, in which gauge boson and diagonal fermion couplings of $h0$ approach Standard Model values. In such limit, FCNH couplings of $h0$ are naturally suppressed by a small mixing parameter $\cos(\beta-\alpha)$, while the off-diagonal couplings of heavier neutral scalars $\phi0$ are sustained by $\sin(\beta-\alpha) \sim 1$. We study physics background from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies. Promising results are found for the LHC running at 13 or 14 TeV collision energies.
