Rare decay π0→e+e−π^{0}\to e^+ e^- constraints on the light CP-odd Higgs in NMSSM

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We constrain the light CP-odd Higgs A10A_{1}^{0} in NMSSM via the rare decay π0→e+e−π^{0}\to e^{+}e^{-}. It is shown that the possible 3σ3σ discrepancy between theoretical predictions and the recent KTeV measurement of B(π0→e+e−){\cal B}(π^{0}\to e^+ e^-) cannot be resolved when the constraints from Υ→γA10Υ\toγA_1^0, aμa_μ and π0→γγπ^{0}\to γγ are combined. Furthermore, the combined constraints also exclude the scenario involving mA10=214.3m_{A_1^0}=214.3 MeV, which is invoked to explain the anomaly in the Σ+→pμ+μ−Σ^{+}\to p μ^{+}μ^{-} decay found by the HyperCP Collaboration.
