Abstract

The rare decay hϒγ has a very small rate in the Standard Model, due to a strong cancellation between the direct and indirect diagrams. Models with a changed hbb coupling can thus lead to a great increase in this decay. Current limits on two Higgs doublet models still allow for the possibility that the hbb coupling might have a sign opposite to the Standard Model, the so-called “wrong-sign.” We show how hϒγ can be used to put limits on the wrong-sign solutions.

    Feynman diagrams contributing to the hϒγ process. The diagrams originate from two different couplings: (a) loop induced hγγ (indirect) coupling; (b) hbb¯ Yukawa (direct) coupling.

    (a) BR(hϒγ) as a function of kD. The red/dark-grey points pass all theoretical constraints in the Type-II 2HDM. The blue/black (green/light-grey) points pass both the theoretical constraints and the experimental constraints on μVV, μγγ, and μττ at 20% (10%). (b) Same plot, but for σ(pph)×BR(hϒγ) at 13 TeV.
