Discrete symmetries employed to explain flavor mixing and ma ss hierarchies can be associated with an enlarged scalar sector which might lead to exotic Higgs decay modes. In this paper, we explore such a possibility in a scenario with S3 flavor symmetry which requires three scalar SU(2) doublets. The spectrum is fixed by minimizing the scalar potential, and we observe that the symmetry of the model leads to tantalizing Higgs decay modes potentially observable at the CERN Large Hadron Collider…

Higgs Lepton Flavor Violating Decays in Two Higgs Doublet Models

The discovery of a non-zero rate for a lepton flavor violating decay mode of the Higgs boson would definitely be an indication of New Physics. We review the prospects for such signal in Two Higgs

Quark mixing in an $S_3$ symmetric model with two Higgs doublets

• Physics
• 2017
We construct a model where the smallness of the masses of first quark generations implies the near block diagonal nature of the CKM matrix and vice-versa. For this set-up, we rely on a 2HDM structure

Flavor Mixing Phenomenology in Supersymmetric Models

This dissertation investigates the flavor mixing effects in supersymmetric models on electroweak precision observables, Higgs boson mass predictions, B-physics observables, quark flavor violating

Nondecoupling of charged scalars in Higgs decay to two photons and symmetries of the scalar potential

• Physics
• 2015
A large class of two- and three-Higgs-doublet models with discrete symmetries has been employed in the literature to address various aspects of flavor physics. We analyze how the precision

Analysis of an extended scalar sector with S3 symmetry

• Physics

We investigate the scalar potential of a general S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model. The outcome of our analysis does not depend on the fermionic sector of the model. We identify a decoupling
