Abstract:
In the most general two-Higgs doublet model with an approximate family symmetry and CP violation being originated solely from the relative phase of two vacuum expectation values, CP asymmetry in the decay bsγb\rightarrow s\gamma may arise from the CP violation of the charged Higgs boson interactions with fermions. This asymmetry may be larger than in the standard model and can lie between 10 210~{-2} and 10 110~{-1}. The decay rate of bsγb\rightarrow s\gamma is allowed to be smaller or larger than in the standard model
