Tauonic $B$ decays and Higgs mediated flavour violation

TL;DR

This paper reviews how tauonic B decays can indicate Higgs-mediated flavor violation within a 2HDM framework, showing potential for sizable effects despite FCNC constraints and recent experimental bounds.

Contribution

It demonstrates that significant Higgs-mediated flavor violation effects are possible in tauonic B decays within a generic 2HDM, even with current experimental constraints.

Findings

Sizable effects in tauonic B decays are possible with large top-related flavor violation.

Tensions with the Standard Model can be resolved considering recent CMS bounds.

Higgs-mediated flavor violation can explain anomalies in tauonic B decays.

Abstract

In these proceedings we review the impact of the tauonic $B$ decays $B\to\tau\nu$, $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^*\tau\nu$ on Higgs mediated flavour violation. For this purpose we study a 2HDM with generic flavour structure (of type III). We find that despite the stringent constraints from FCNC processes sizable effects in tauonic $B$ decays are possible if top-related flavour violation is large and that the tensions with the SM predictions can be resolved even when taking into account the recent CMS bounds on $A^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$.
