Possible Anomalies in Higgs Decay: Charm Suppression and Flavour-Violation

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the Higgs boson may exhibit suppressed charm decay modes and detectable flavor-violating decays, challenging conventional predictions and suggesting a new geometric origin of fermion generations.

Contribution

It introduces a scheme linking fermion mixing and mass hierarchy to a rotating mass matrix, predicting anomalous Higgs decay patterns.

Findings

Suppressed Higgs to charm quark decay mode.

Possible observable flavor-violating Higgs decays.

Implications for fermion generation origin.

Abstract

It is suggested that the Higgs boson may have a branching ratio into the $c \bar{c}$ mode suppressed by several orders of magnitude compared with conventional predictions and in addition some small but detectable flavour-violating modes such as $b \bar{s}$ and $\tau \bar{\mu}$. The suggestion is based on a scheme proposed and tested earlier for explaining the mixing pattern and mass hierarchy of fermions in terms of a rotating mass matrix. If confirmed, the effects would cast new light on the geometric origin of fermion generations and of the Higgs field itself.
