Flavor changing neutral currents from lepton and B decays in the two Higgs doublet model

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

Constraints on the whole spectrum of lepton flavor violating vertices are shown in the context of the standard two Higgs doublet model. The vertex involving the e−τe-τ mixing is much more constrained than the others, and the decays proportional to such vertex are usually very supressed. On the other hand, bounds on the quark sector are obtained from leptonic decays of the Bd,s0B_{d,s}^{0} mesons and from ΔMBd0ΔM_{B_{d}^{0}}. We emphasize that although the Bd0−Bˉd0B_{d}^{0}-\bar{B}_{d}^{0} mixing restricts severely the % d-b mixing vertex, the upper bound for this vertex could still give a sizeable contribution to the decay Bd0→μμˉB_{d}^{0}\to μ\barμ respect to the standard model contribution, from which we see that such vertex could still play a role in the phenomenology.
