Weak Radiative Decays of the B Meson and Bounds on M_(H^pm) in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model
read the original abstract
In a recent publication [6], the Belle collaboration updated their analysis of the inclusive weak radiative B-meson decay, including the full dataset of (772 +_ 11) x 10^6 BBbar pairs. Their result for the branching ratio is now below the Standard Model prediction [7,8], though it remains consistent with it. However, bounds on the charged Higgs boson mass in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model get affected in a significant manner. In the so-called Model-II, the 95% C.L. lower bound on $M_{H^\pm}$ is now in the 570-800 GeV range, depending quite sensitively on the method applied for its determination. Our present note is devoted to presenting and discussing the updated bounds, as well as to clarifying several ambiguities that one might encounter in evaluating them. One of such ambiguities stems from the photon energy cutoff choice, which deserves re-consideration in view of the improved experimental accuracy.

Probing Boosted Light Scalars in the Type-I 2HDM
Boosted light scalars decaying to b b-bar in Type-I 2HDM can be tagged as double-b fat-jets and used with SM gauge bosons to probe heavy scalars up to 540 GeV at the HL-LHC for masses 30-70 GeV.

Radiative corrections to decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the complex Higgs triplet model
One-loop corrections in the complex Higgs triplet model shift the 125 GeV Higgs decay rates to WW* and ZZ* upward by a few percent relative to the SM, while allowing up to -20% deviation in gamma gamma and 100% in the...

Intrinsic Properties of Large CP Violation in the Complex Two-Higgs-Doublet Model
Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in ...

Possible mixing between elementary and bound state fields in the $t\bar{t}$ production excess at the LHC
Mixing angle between toponium and elementary field Ψ is constrained to |θ| ≤ 13° (minimal model) or |θ| ≤ 1° (2HDM Type II/Y) to fit CMS ttbar excess under MPP.
