Explaining B->Dτν, B->D*τνand B->τνin a 2HDM of type III

Recently, the BaBar collaboration reported first evidence for new physics in B->Dτνand B->D*τν. Combining both processes the significance is 3.4σ. This result cannot be explained in a two Higgs doublet model of type II. Furthermore, the CKMfitter group finds a 2.9σdiscrepancy between the Standard Model prediction for Br[B->τν] (using Vub from a global fit to the unitary triangle) and the measurements of the B factories. Altogether, these measurements are strong indications for physics beyond the SM in B meson decays to taus. We show that in a two Higgs doublet model of type III it is possible to simultaneously explain \bdtau and \bdstau using a single free parameter ε^u_32. Also Br[B->τν] can be brought into agreement with experiment using ε^u_31. Furthermore, for Higgs (A^0, H^0, H^+) masses around 500 GeV, as suggested by recent CMS results, all bounds from FCNC processes are satisfied and B->Dτν, B->D*τνand B->τνcan be explained without a significant degree of fine-tuning.
