A Resolution of the Flavor Problem of Two Higgs Doublet Models with an Extra U(1)_H Symmetry for Higgs Flavor

Abstract

We propose to implement the Natural Flavor Conservation criterion in the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) to an extra U(1)_H gauge symmetry for Higgs flavor, assuming two Higgs doublets carry different U(1)_H charges. Then one can easily avoid the tree level FCNC from neutral Higgs mediations using local gauge symmetries, instead of softly broken ad hoc Z_2 symmetry, and the pseudoscalar boson could be eaten by extra Z_H boson. Imposing the anomaly cancellation, we find that the U(1)_H in the Type-II and Type-IV 2HDM's become leptophobic and leptophilic, respectively. For the Type-I case, U(1)_H depends on two parameters, and some simple cases include U(1)_H = U(1)_{B-L}, U(1)_R, or U(1)_Y. We sketch qualitative phenomenology of these models.
