New Higgs signals from a multi-scalar model with flavor symmetry

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

A scenario is presented where the ss, cc, and bb quark fusion Higgs production cross sections are enhanced with respect to those of the Standard Model. In particular the cc quark fusion production is very important and can account for a significant contribution at the Large Hadron Collider. The light Higgs couplings to vector bosons are sufficiently suppressed to allow its mass to lie below the LEP bound of 115 GeV and due to enhanced couplings to second family fermions, the Higgs decay to μμ pairs is large enough to be detectable. This is accomplished with a model incorporating three Higgs doublets charged under a flavor symmetry.
