چکیده

We search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs particles (H+/- +/-) followed by decays into electron-tau (etau) and muon-tau (mutau) pairs using data (350 pb(-1) collected from [over]pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV by the CDF II experiment. We search separately for cases where three or four final-state leptons are detected, and combine results for exclusive decays to left-handed etau (mutau) pairs. We set an H+/- +/- lower mass limit of 114(112) GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level.

Measurement of lepton flavor violating Yukawa couplings at ILC

We discuss lepton flavor violation (LFV) associated with tau leptons in the general framework of the two Higgs doublet model, in which LFV couplings are introduced as a deviation from Model II Yukawa interaction. Parameters of the model are constrained from experimental results and also from requirements of theoretical consistencies such as vacuum stability and perturbative unitarity. Current d...

Higgs Decays into Leptons *

We discuss the prospects for the discovery of neutral Higgs bosons (φ 0 = H 0 , h 0 , A 0) in multi-Higgs doublet models via their decays into leptons at hadron colliders. A major focus will be searching for Higgs bosons produced with bottom quarks via Higgs decays into muon pairs (pp → b ¯ bφ 0 → b ¯ bµ¯ µ + X) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider within the framework of the minimal supersymmetri...

Lepton-flavor-violating decays of the Z boson in a left-right supersymmetric model.

We study the one-loop supersymmetric contributions to lepton-flavor violating Z -boson decays in a fully left-right symmetric model. In addition to right-handed scalar neutrinos, the decays could receive important contributions from doubly-charged triplet Higgsinos which couple to leptons only. We find that the decay widths reach present experimental bounds and discuss mass constraints for the ...

Lepton Flavor Violating Decays – Review & Outlook 1. Why Lepton Flavor Violation? 2. Lfv Tau Decays

Here I review the status and prospects of experimental investigations into lepton flavor violation (LFV) in charged leptons. Rare LFV processes are naturally expected to occur through loops of TeV scale particles predicted by supersymmetric theories or other models beyond the Standard Model. In contrast to physics of quark flavors that is dominated by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, LFV i...

Lepton Flavour Violating decays of Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model

We evaluate the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decays of Higgs bosons H → l i l j in several extensions of the SM, including both the effective lagrangian approach and several specific models. For the effective lagrangian case, we focus on the dimension-6 operators that induce LFV vertices for the Higgs and/or Z bosons. For those operators whose coefficients can not be constrained by present dat...
