Limits on Neutrinophilic Two-Higgs-Doublet Models from Flavor Physics

Abstract

We derive stringent limits on neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet models from low-energy observables after the discovery of the Higgs boson and of the mixing angle ${\theta }_{13}$. These decays can constrain the plane spanned by $m_{H^{\pm }}$, the mass of the new charged Higgs, and $v_2$, the vacuum expectation value of the new neutrinophilic scalar doublet. Lepton flavor conserving decays are not able to set meaningful bounds, since they depend strongly on the unknown neutrino absolute mass scale. On the other hand, loop induced lepton flavor violating decays, such as $\mu \to e\gamma$, $\mu \to 3e$ or $\mu \to e$ in nuclei are currently responsable for the best limits today. If $v_2\lesssim 1(0.1)$ eV we get $m_{H^{\pm }}\gtrsim 250(2500)$ GeV at 90% CL. In the foreseen future these limits can improve by at least a factor of 100.
