Abstract: (Elsevier)
In a general two Higgs doublet model, we study flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decays into leptons at hadron colliders, pp→ϕ0→τ∓μ±+X , where ϕ0 could be a CP-even scalar ( h0 , H0 ) or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ( A0 ). The light Higgs boson h0 is found to resemble closely the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. In the alignment limit of cos(β−α)≅0 for h0 – H0 mixing, FCNH couplings of h0 are naturally suppressed, but such couplings of the heavier H0,A0 are sustained by sin(β−α)≃1 . We evaluate physics backgrounds from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies. We find promising results for s=14 TeV , which we extend further to s=27 TeV and 100 TeV future pp colliders.Note:
