Phenomenological discriminations of the Yukawa interactions in two-Higgs doublet models with $Z_2$ symmetry

Understand

There are four types of two-Higgs doublet models under a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry imposed to avoid tree-level flavour-changing neutral current, i.e.

• type-I, type-II, type-X and type-Y models.
• We investigate the possibility to discriminate the four models in the light of the flavour physics data, including $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing, $B_{s,d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, $B\to \tau\nu$ and $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ decays, the recent LHC Higgs data, the direct search for charged Higgs at LEP, and the constraints from perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability.
• After deriving the combined constraints on the Yukawa interaction parameters, we have shown that the correlation between the mass eigenstate rate asymmetry $A_{\Delta\Gamma}$ of $B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the ratio $R={\cal B}(B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-)_{exp}/ {\cal B}(B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-)_{SM}$ could be sensitive probe to discriminate the four models with future precise measurements of the observables in the $B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay at LHCb.
