Reconciling and charged lepton flavour violating processes through a doubly charged scalar

arXiv:1512.03581 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.115004

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the phenomenological consequences of a doubly charged scalar which may belong to different uncoloured scalar multiplets. This doubly charged scalar couples to the charged leptons as well as gauge bosons, which we parametrize in a model independent way. Restricting ourselves in the regime of conserved charged-parity (CP), we assume only a few non-zero Yukawa couplings (, where ) between the doubly charged scalar and the charged leptons. Our choices allow the doubly charged scalar to impinge low-energy processes like anomalous magnetic moment of muon and a few possible charged lepton flavour violating (CLFV) processes. These same Yukawa couplings are also instrumental in producing same-sign dilepton signatures at the LHC. In this article we examine the impact of individual contributions from the diagonal and off-diagonal Yukawa couplings in the light of muon excess. Subsequently, we use the derived information to inquire the possible CLFV processes and finally the collider signals from the decay of a doubly charged scalar. Our simplified analyses, depending on the mass of doubly charged scalar, provide a good estimate for the magnitude of the concerned Yukawa couplings. Our findings would appear resourceful to test the phenomenological significance of a doubly charged scalar by using complementary information from muon , CLFV and the collider experiments.
