Top-quark flavor-changing neutral currents and charged-lepton flavor violation in a generational three-Higgs-doublet model

In this work, we systematically investigate top-quark flavor-changing neutral-current decays, charged-lepton flavor-violating processes, and coherent $μ-e$ conversion in the CP-conserving generational three-Higgs-doublet model (G3HDM), including the relevant tree-level and one-loop contributions. The 4839-point sample passes conservative sufficient vacuum-stability conditions, necessary perturbative-unitarity preselection cuts, Higgs-mass and signal-strength constraints, electroweak precision data, the UTfit 2025 neutral-meson-mixing ranges, $\overline{B}\to X_sγ$, and $B_s\toμ^+μ^-$. In the scanned region, $\mathrm{Br}(t\to c h_1)\leq 1.04\times10^{-5}$ and $\mathrm{Br}(h_1\toμτ)\leq 4.83\times10^{-4}$, while the maximal conversion rates are $\mathrm{CR}(μ\mathrm{Al}\to e\mathrm{Al})\approx 4.95\times10^{-15}$ and $\mathrm{CR}(μ\mathrm{Au}\to e\mathrm{Au})\approx 1.05\times10^{-14}$. The dominant collider signals are mainly driven by tree-level flavor-changing neutral-Higgs couplings, which determine the relative strengths of these processes and induce the pronounced enhancement of $t\to c h_1$ and $h_1\toμτ$. Meanwhile, the upper range of the predicted $μ-e$ conversion rate in aluminum lies within the sensitivity reach of next-generation $μ-e$ conversion experiments.

Flavor-Violating Higgs and Top Decays in the Type 1B Flavorful Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with a Twist

We study flavor-violating decays of the SM-like Higgs boson and rare top decays in the Type 1B realization of the flavorful two-Higgs-doublet model with a twist, focusing on $h\to sb$, $h\to db$, $h\to uc$, $h\toμτ$, $h\to eτ$, $h\to eμ$, $t\to ch$, and $t\to uh$. We present the relevant amplitude and branching-ratio formulae, include one-loop vertex corrections, and impose constraints from Higgs signal-strength measurements, electroweak precision tests, meson mixing, $B\to X_sγ$, direct HFV searches and CLFV constraints, including $μ-e$ conversion. The surviving parameter space favors $\mathrm{BR}(h\to sb)\gg\mathrm{BR}(h\to db)$, $\mathrm{BR}(t\to ch)\gg\mathrm{BR}(t\to uh)$, and $\mathrm{BR}(h\toμτ)\gg\mathrm{BR}(h\to eτ)\sim\mathrm{BR}(h\to eμ)$ in the lepton sector. One-loop effects usually preserve these hierarchies, but can modify individual channels through different mechanisms: sizable destructive tree--loop interference can reduce $h\to sb$ enough to yield rare $\mathrm{BR}_{\mathrm{1L}}(h\to db)>\mathrm{BR}_{\mathrm{1L}}(h\to sb)$ points, whereas the large relative corrections found in rare top decays mainly reflect strong SM-like alignment suppressing the tree-level amplitudes.

Electric Dipole Moments in the CP-violating Generational Three-Higgs-Doublet Model

Motivated by the Yukawa interactions in the CP-violating Generational Three-Higgs-Doublet Model (G3HDM), we investigate the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of the $b$ quark, $c$ quark, electron, neutron, and mercury atom, imposing constraints from the observed $125~\mathrm{GeV}$ Higgs signals, flavor physics, and rare $B$-meson decays. We find that the $b$ quark, neutron, and mercury EDMs are predominantly controlled by top-enhanced charged-Higgs amplitudes, whose internal cancellations are generally weak. Meanwhile, pronounced pairwise cancellations between nearly degenerate neutral Higgs states occur in the $c$ quark, electron, neutron, and mercury EDMs. Using degenerate perturbation theory, we show that these cancellations originate from approximate relations among the neutral-Higgs mixing-matrix elements, which enforce the anti-alignment of the corresponding CP-odd coupling invariants.

Lepton-flavor violation and muon $(g-2)$ in the flavor-dependent $U(1)_F$ model

Lepton flavor violation (LFV) processes are forbidden in the standard model (SM), hence the observation of LFV transitions would represent a clear signal of new physics beyond the SM. In this work, we investigate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moments (MDM) and LFV processes $l_{j}^{-}\to l_{i}^{-}γ$ and $l_{j}^{-}\to l_{i}^{-}l_{i}^{-}l_{i}^{+}$ in the extension of the SM with $U(1)_F$ local gauge symmetry (FDM). The muon anomalous MDM is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics, which can be used to constrain the contributions from new couplings in the FDM. The newly incorporated $U(1)_F$ charges are correlated with the flavor properties of fermions, hence the newly added Yukawa couplings make contributions to these LFV processes. Considering the latest experimental constraints on the muon anomalous MDM, the new interactions in the FDM can make significant contributions to the LFV processes $l_{j}^{-}\to l_{i}^{-}γ$ and $l_{j}^{-}\to l_{i}^{-}l_{i}^{-}l_{i}^{+}$, the predicted branching ratios can well reach the future experimental sensitivity.

The Higgs boson decay $h \to bs$ in the Generational Three-Higgs-Doublet Model

The Generational Three-Higgs-Doublet Model (G3HDM) extends the Standard Model (SM) by three Higgs doublets, which couple separately to different generations of quarks and charged leptons, and consequently make significant contributions to the neutral flavor-changing processes. Considering the latest experimental constraints on $125\mathrm{GeV}$ Higgs signals, electroweak precision observables, neutral-meson mixing, and the rare decay processes $B\to X_sγ$ and $B_s^0\toμ^+μ^-$, we perform a systematic analysis of the processes $h \to bs$ predicted in the G3HDM. This process is strongly suppressed by the loop factor in the SM, hence any observation of $h \to bs$ in the near future provides a sensitive probe of physics beyond the SM. Finally, the constraints on the parameter space and the experimental testability of G3HDM through observation $h \to bs$ are presented.

The Muon and Tau Electric Dipole Moments in the B-L Supersymmetric Standard Model

Recently proposed experiments are expected to significantly improve the measurement sensitivities of the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of muon ($d_μ$) and tau ($d_τ$). Given that theoretical predictions for $d_μ$ and $d_τ$ typically surpass those for the electron EDM, this work focuses on studying the contributions from the CP-violating (CPV) effects in the B-L supersymmetric (SUSY) standard model (B-LSSM) to $d_μ$ and $d_τ$. After considering the corrections from some two-loop diagrams, the contributions in the B-LSSM to the EDMs of charged leptons are presented analytically in general forms. The numerical results show that the traditional $μ$-term in most SUSY models makes dominant contributions to $d_μ$ and $d_τ$, while the B-LSSM specific CPV parameters also induce significant effects. It is found that across a substantial region of the B-LSSM parameter space, $d_μ$ falls well within the projected sensitivity at Phase II of the proposed experiment, and $|d_τ|$ can reach about $10^{-21}e\cdot\text{cm}$.

Linking the Gauge Hierarchy with Neutrino Masses and Dark Matter via Two-step Cosmological Selection

The hierarchy problem between the electroweak (EW) and Planck scales remains a central puzzle in modern physics. We discuss a promising solution operating through the cosmological selection of the EW vacuum in a multiverse landscape, where the EW scale is dynamically approached as the configuration that maximizes the vacuum energy. By extending the Standard Model with a complex scalar singlet and right-handed neutrinos, charged under a global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry, the model not only explains the smallness of the EW scale. It can also account for neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the matter-antimatter asymmetry via leptogenesis. In addition, it provides a viable dark matter candidate that is testable in future neutrino experiments.

$S, T, U$ Parameters in The B-LSSM

Using the pinch technique, we compute the one-loop vertices of weak interactions in the B-LSSM and incorporate their pinch contributions into the gauge boson self-energies. Compared to the definitions of the $S, T,$ and $U$ parameters in the Standard Model based on the $SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ group, the corresponding parameters in the local B-L gauge symmetry (B-LSSM) are modified. We provide these redefined $S, T,$ and $U$ parameters and demonstrate the convergence of the results. In the framework of the low-energy effective Lagrangian for weak interactions, the $S, T,$ and $U$ parameters can be expressed as functions of certain parameters in the B-LSSM. The updated experimental and fitting results constrain the parameter space of the B-LSSM strongly.

Rare B meson decays in the Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric Standard Model

Taking into account the constraints imposed by experimental data on the parameter space, we analyze the lepton flavor violating decays of B meson in the scenario of the minimal R-symmetric supersymmetric standard model. The prediction of the branching ratios is strongly affected by $\tanβ$ and the off-diagonal entries in the slepton and squark mass matrices. The off-diagonal entries in the slepton mass matrix are constrained by the experimental limits of radiative two body decays of leptons. The off-diagonal entries in the squark mass matrix are constrained by the experimental limits of low energy observables related to B meson physics. The branching ratio of $B^0_d\rightarrow μτ$ is predicted to be four orders of magnitude below the future experimental sensitivity and the decay $B^0_d\rightarrow μτ$ has a higher chance of being observed in the future.

The 95 GeV and 125 GeV Higgs Excesses in the Left-Right Supersymmetric Standard Model

This study investigates the excesses observed around 95 GeV in diphoton and $b\bar{b}$ experiments within the framework of the Left-Right Supersymmetric Model (LRSSM). Considering the one-loop and two-loop effective potential corrections to the Higgs masses, the model is able to describe the experimentally observed $μ(h_{95})_{γγ}$ and $μ(h_{95})_{b\bar{b}}$ signal strengths. In addition, we also present the impacts of the LRSSM-specific parameters $\tanβ_{R}$, $v_{R}$ and $v_{S}$ on the theoretical predictions of the signal strengths for the 95 GeV and 125 GeV neutral Higgs both.

Lepton-flavor violation in the MRSSMSeesaw

The Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric Standard Model with Seesaw (MRSSMSeesaw) extends the MRSSM by incorporating right-handed neutrinos to generate neutrino masses via the Type-I seesaw mechanism. This work presents a detailed analysis of lepton flavor violation (LFV) processes, including $\ell_i \rightarrow \ell_j γ$, $\ell_i \rightarrow 3\ell_j$, and Higgs decays $h \rightarrow \ell_i \ell_j$, Based on the current experimental limitations, we carry out detailed parameter scanning and numerical calculations to analyse the effects of different sensitive parameters on LFV.The numerical results show that the non-diagonal elements involving the initial and final leptons are main sensitive parameters and LFV sources.

125 GeV Higgs boson rare decays in a flavor-dependent $U(1)_F$ model

In this work, we analyze the Higgs boson decay channels, specifically, $h{\rightarrow}γγ$, $h{\rightarrow} VV^*$ (with $V=Z,W$), and $h{\rightarrow} f\bar{f}$ (for $f=b,c,τ$) within the flavor-dependent $U(1)_F$ model (FDM). We also investigate processes induced by flavor-changing neutral currents, including the decays $\bar B \to X_sγ$ and $B_s^0 \to μ^+μ^-$, the top quark decays $t\to c h$ and $t\to u h$, and the lepton flavor-violating decays $τ\to 3e$, $τ\to 3μ$, and $μ\to 3e$. Furthermore, we incorporate the electroweak precision observables constraints via the S, T, and U parameters. Compared to the Standard Model, the scalar sector of the FDM is extended by two Higgs doublets and one Higgs singlet, which affects the 125 GeV Higgs properties significantly. Meanwhile, the decays $h{\rightarrow} Zγ$, $h\rightarrow MZ$, and $h{\rightarrow} Mγ$ (where $M$ is a vector meson $(ρ,ω,ϕ,J/Ψ,Υ)$ of the Standard-Model-like Higgs are studied, and we illustrate how changes in the scalar sector and the Yukawa coupling influence the signal strengths for the 125 GeV Higgs decay channels and the Higgs mass in the FDM.

Probing the light charged Higgs boson, pseudoscalar Higgs boson, and $Z^\prime$ boson in the $U(1)_F$ model at the LHC

In this papar, we study the production and decay of a charged Higgs boson, a pseudoscalar Higgs boson, and a $Z'$ boson at the LHC within the flavor-dependent model (FDM), at the LHC. Considering the constraints from perturbative unitarity and experimental measurements (e.g., the flavor physics data, higgs signal strengths, electroweak precision observables), we investigate the relevant processes by analyzing several common LHC search channels. Motivated by the excess in $t \to b\bar{b}c$ reported by ATLAS, which suggests a charged Higgs boson with a mass near 130 GeV and consistent with B-anomaly expectations, we perform a dedicated simulation for a charged Higgs around this mass. Our results support the experimental hint and predict that this particle has a high discovery potential at the future High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In contrast, for the pseudoscalar and $Z'$ bosons predicted in our model, they remain beyond the reach of current experiments as well as the expected sensitivity at a 14 TeV collider with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$.

Lepton flavor violating decays of Higgs boson in the NB-LSSM

Lepton flavor violation (LFV) represents a clear new physics (NP) signal beyond the standard model (SM). NB-LSSM, the next to minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with local B-L gauge symmetry, includes three Higgs singlets and three generations of right-handed neutrinos in the basis of MSSM, motivated by the new definition of SM-like Higgs resultly from the introducing of three Higgs singlets which mix with the two Higgs doublets at the tree level in the NB-LSSM. We calculate LFV processes $h\rightarrow l_i l_j$ in the mass eigenstate basis and the electroweak interaction basis separately, and the latter adopts the mass insertion approximation (MIA) method. In the suitable parameter space, we obtain the reasonable numerical results. At the same time, the corresponding constraints from the LFV rare decays $l_j\rightarrow l_iγ$ are considered to analyze the numerical results.

Explaining the possible 95 GeV excesses in the B-L symmetric SSM

Motivated by the excesses around 95 GeV observed in the diphoton and $b\bar b$ data, this study focuses on investigating these two excesses within the framework of the $B-L$ supersymmetric model (B-LSSM), due to the existence of two light Higgs bosons in the model. Considering the two-loop effective potential corrections, it is found that the B-LSSM is hard to fit the 125 GeV Higgs signal strengths and the two excesses around 95 GeV in the experimental $1σ$ intervals, while the model can reproduce them in the experimental $2σ$ intervals simultaneously. And considering the two loop effective potential corrections to the squared Higgs mass matrix is important to account for the mixing effects among Higgs sector.

Electroweak baryogenesis and electron EDM in the TNMSSM

We have studied the impact of CP-violating (CPV) effects on electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of electron ($d_e$), the electric dipole moment (EDM) of mercury neutron ($d_n$) and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of ($d_{Hg}$) in an extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The model incorporating a $SU(2)$ triplet with hypercharges of $\pm1$ and a gauge singlet from the standard model that is mutually coupled, is collectively referred to as the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model with triplets (TNMSSM). Furthermore, we discuss the strong first-order phase transition (PT) achieved by this model via tree-level effects. The numerical results indicate that the TNMSSM can account for the observed baryon asymmetry. Additionally, the regions favored by EWBG can be compatible with the corresponding electron EDM bounds when different contributions to the $d_e$ cancel each other out.

$B_s^0 \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ in a flavor violating extension of MSSM

$B$ meson rare decays play a crucial role in exploring new physics beyond the standard model. In this study, we explore the rare decay process $B_s^0 \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ in a flavor violating extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), namely the $μ$-from-$ν$ SSM ($μν$SSM). Combined with the decay $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_sγ$, the numerical results indicate that the $μν$SSM can successfully accommodate the experimental data for $B_s^0 \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ and additionally narrow down the parameter space.

Electric dipole moments from the perspective of a scalar triplet and singlet extension of the MSSM: A study of neutrons, electrons, mercury, and b and c quarks

In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric model extension with new scalar triplets and singlet (TNMSSM), we analyze the electric dipole moment (EDM) of neutron ($d_n$), electron EDM($d_e$), the mercury EDM($d_{Hg}$), $b$ quark ($d_b$) and $c$ quark ($d_c$) by considering the contributions from the one-loop diagrams, some two-loop diagrams and the Weinberg operators. The effects of TNMSSM specific CPV sources $χ_d,\;χ_t$ on $d_n$, $d_e$, $d_{Hg}$, $d_b$, $d_c$ are specialized, it is found that they have significant contributions to these EDMs, and the current upper bounds on $d_n$ impose strict constraints on $χ_d,\;χ_t$. The theoretical predictions on $d_b$, $d_c$ can reach about $10^{-22}$ e$\cdot$cm and $10^{-23}$ e$\cdot$cm respectively by taking the upper bounds on $d_n$, $d_e$, $d_{Hg}$ into account, which have great potential to be observed in future.
