  1. Limits/Signals of a light non-standard Higgs boson in Upsilon leptonic decays† *email: mas@ific.uv.es Department of Theoretical Physics & IFIC University of Valencia – CSIC Spain Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano* †Special thanks to the CLEO Collaboration particularly to Jean Duboscq for many discussions Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  2. Testing Lepton Universality BF( e+ e-) =BF( + -) = BF(  +  -) *Obtained from recent but in some cases preliminary CLEO data Statistical and systematic errors are summed in quadrature Lepton Universality in Upsilon decays implies <R/l > =0 Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  3. Testing Lepton Universality BF( e+ e-) =BF( + -) = BF(  +  -) *Obtained from recent but preliminary CLEO data and already existing PDG values Statistical and systematic errors are summed in quadrature Lepton Universality in Upsilon decays implies <R/l > =0 Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  4. LU Lepton Universality Breaking? • Hypothesis test • Null hypothesis: lepton universality predicting <R/l> = 0 • Alternative hypothesis: <R/l> > 0 • From this set of data • Lepton Universality can be rejected • at a level of significance of 0.5 % • (corresponding to a 2.8 sigma effect) R/e(1S) R/(1S) R/e(2S) preliminary R/(2S) R/e(3S) R/(3S) 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 R/l Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  5. (Hidden) systematic errors? There could be hidden systematic errors in the extraction of the muonic and tauonic branching fractions from experimental data, e.g. use is made oflepton universality as an intermediate step Defining: hep-ex/9409004 Bee = B= B hep-ex/0409027 The muonic branching fraction would be overestimated if Bee = B= B Defining: In the opposite direction ! The tauonic branching fraction would be underestimated if Besides phase space disfavors the tauonic decay mode by  1% (Van-Royen Weisskopf formula) Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  6. Searching for a light non-standard Higgs Our conjecture to interpret a possible Lepton Universality breakdown photon unseen! * Van Royen-Weisskopf formula nS  s A0( ) nS  s b(*) ( A0* ) n=1,2,3 and A0 stands for a light (possibly CP-odd) Higgs particle Tree-level NP process theoretically very simple! Key ideas: Such NP contribution would be unwittingly ascribed to the leptonic branching fraction (photon undetected!*) actually only for the tauonic decay mode Prior M1 transition -  s A0 + b intermediate state or bb continuum A leptonic mass dependence of the decay width would break lepton universality. Contribution from the SM should be negligible Notice that a light non-standard Higgs boson has not been excluded by LEP direct searches for a broad range of model parameters in different scenarios Prejudice against a light Higgs? *Missing energy in events (neutrinos from tauonic decays) but photons can be searched for in data recorded on tape However, they likely would not be monochromatic! Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  7. Two-Higgs Doublet Model (II)* Higgs sector *The MSSM is a particular 2HDM(II) realization CPC: 1 CP-odd Higgs (A0) 2 CP-even Higgses h0 =-1sin +2cos H0= 1sin -2cos 2 charged H At tree level: In a general 2HDM: Coupling of fermions and the CP-odd Higgs A0 In a 2HDM of type II tanβ stands for the 2 Higgs VEVs ratio <Hu>/<Hd> and v=246 GeV A large value of tanβ would imply a large A0 coupling to the bottom quark but a small coupling (i.e. small cot β) to the charm quark. Therefore, in the quest for NP effects we will focus on bottomonium decays and spectroscopy but not on charmonium as this is the case (see PDG) CPV MSSM At one-loop level, MSSM with complex parameters is not CP conserving The three Higgs neutral bosons mix together and the resulting three physical mass eigenstates H1, H2 and H3 (MH1 < MH2 < MH3) have mixed parities Higgs couplings to the Z boson would vary: the H1ZZ coupling can be significantly suppressed raising the possibility of a relatively light H1 boson having evaded detection at LEP [hep-ph/0211467] Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

Light Higgs windows at LEP (2HDM(II)) hep-ex/0408097 hep-ex/0408097 Excluded (mA,mh) region independent of theCP even Higgs mixing angle , from flavor-independent and b-tagging searches at LEP interpreted according to a 2HDM(II) Excluded regions in the (mA,tanβ) plane for different choices of . In the MSSM -/2  0 ; in a general 2HDM(II) -/2  /2 Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

Only the CP-even admixture h and H couple to Z while the CP-odd A does not: hence the coupling of the H1 is reduced wrt a CPC scenario. hep-ex/0406057 CPX MSSM 95% exclusion areas using scans with different values of arg (At,b).The region excluded by Yukawa searches, Z-width constraints or decay independent searches is shown in red CPX MSSM 95% exclusion areas using scans with different values of the top mass Miguel A.

  10. Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) A new singlet superfield is added to the Higgs sector: In general more extra SM singlets can be added: hep-ph/0405244 The μ-problem of the MSSM would be solved by introducing in the superpotential the term Spontaneous breaking of the PQ symmetry Breaks explicitly the PQ symmetry If к =0 → U(1) Peccei-Quinn symmetry Spontaneous breaking  NGB (massless), an “axion” (+QCD anomaly) ruled out experimentally If the PQ symmetry is not exact but explicitly broken provides a mass to the (pseudo) NGB leading to a light CP-odd scalarfor small к If λand  zero → U(1)R symmetry; if U(1)R slightly broken → a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson too Higgs sector in the NMSSM: (seven) 2 neutral CP-odd Higgs bosons (A1,2) 3 neutral CP-even Higgs bosons (H1,2,3 ) 2 charged Higgs bosons (H±) Coupling of A1 to down type fermions: [hep-ph/0404220] The A1 would be the lightest Higgs: Favored decay mode: H1,2  A1 A1 hard to detect at the LHC[hep-ph/0406215] Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  11. Numerical estimates Contribution from the “continuum”  l+ A0 l- Let us perform a perturbative calculation of the contribution from the “continuum”, i.e. without formation of intermediate bound states assuming the Higgs boson off-shell where the square amplitude is and the decay width (leading term): Rather large values of tanβ ( 50) are needed to obtain R~ 10% One should also consider: • B(A0  + -)  1 even for moderate tanβ nS   A0 (+ -) MY-MAº=0.25 GeV Higgs boson on-shell R=0.1 tanβ~ 15 Experimentally excluded region    +”nothing”: BF < 1.3 x10-5 for MA0 < 5 GeV [CLEO, PRD 51, 2053 (1995)] Somewhat higher values of tanβ in a relativistic treatment Wilczek formula Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  12. Intermediate bound states Numerical estimates We consider that a prior magnetic dipole transition of the Upsilon yields an intermediate bound state, subsequently annihilating into a lepton pair via A0 (or H1)-exchange nS  sb( A0*(H1*) l+ l-) A cascade decay formula should apply: In a 2HDM(II) Intermediate real 0-+ state The NP contribution would almost saturate the b decay rate even for moderate tanβ if M is not too large ! Mass difference between the Higgs boson and the b M1 transition probability ________Y(3S) -------------b(3S) ________Y(2S) -------------b(2S) ________Y(1S) -------------b(1S) Allowed and hindered M1 transitions between (3S), (2S) and (1S) states CLEO limit  600 MeV  1000 MeV tanβ≥ 30 ΔM=0.25 GeV  100 MeV Miguel A. Sanchis-Lozano IFIC-Valencia

  13. Numerical estimates CP-even Higgs boson A CP-even Higgs boson can couple to an intermediate b0 resonance after a E1 transition of the  Intermediate real 0++ state nS   b0 ( h0 + -) n=2,3 ( H1  + -) Cascade decay via b0 resonances Decay channel only open for (2S) and (3S) resonances h0-mediated decay width under the assumption that sin(-β)≈ 0 i.e. non-decoupling limit: h0 couplings deviate maximally from SM whereas the H0 becomes a SM-like Higgs: Again only for the tauonic mode would the NP contribution be significant leading to lepton universality breaking! Normalizing the above partial width to setting s(M) = 0.15 and |R’n(0)|2 = 1.5 GeV5  Using ΔM=0.25 GeV, tanβ 15 → B(b0+ -) ≈ 6% and B(   b0) ≈ 3-6% (PDG) as reference values, we get: R  0.1 tanβ~ 15 Miguel A.

Possible spectroscopic consequences in bottomonium “Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?” “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time” “The dog did nothing in the night-time” “That was the curious incident”, remarked Sherlock Holmes from “Silver Blaze” by Sir A.C.D. hep-ex/0207057 If b decay happens to be saturated by the A0-mediatedchannel b A0* + - A quite broad b expected! Searches forb states at CLEO: No signal found! The search for b states would be a way of hunting a light non-standard Higgs! hep-ex/0207057 hep-ex/0207057 Also implying lower rates for other decay modes: b  J/ψ J/ψ (3S)  ’bo  b(1S) Most theoretical models are ruled out ! • Broad b states? Widths of order 50 MeV could be expected • even for moderate values of tanβ (LEP) SM: tanβ hep-ex/0111010 • A0-b mixing? Mass shift yielding larger hyperfine splitting than • expected in the SM (i.e. more than ~100 MeV). • Higgs Yukawa couplings to fermions can • be affected too, allowing quite large tanβ • for special Higgs mass values Drees and Hikasa, PRD 41, 1547 (1990) Miguel A.

Possibly too hard a job for the LHC Relevance of a Super B Factory running on the  region !!! Complementary to other searches at the LHC Avec de l’audace, on peut tout entreprendre, on ne peut pas tout faire Napoléon Ier Keep also an eye on the related issues: ● g-2 muon anomaly (which might require a CP-odd light Higgs contribution in a two-loop calculation) ● Search for Bs,d  ,  decays (GIM mechanism can spoil the expected signal hep-ph/0209306) ●Searches for dark matter in the universe (McElrath, this workshop) Miguel A.

  16. Light Neutralino Dark Matter • Neutralino dark matter is generally assumed to be relatively heavy, with a mass near the electroweak scale • It has been shown, however, that the claims of dark matter detection made by DAMA can be reconciled with null results of CDMS II if one considers a WIMP lighter than approximately 10 GeV [hep-ph/0504010] • A very light CP-odd Higgs can make possible a very light neutralino to annihilate via such a light Higgs boson exchange[hep-ph/0509024] leading to low-enery positrons which would generate the 511 keV gamma-ray emission observed from the galactic bulge by INTEGRAL/SPI experiment Miguel A.

  18. MSSM (CPV) • The Higgs potential is explicitly CP-conserving if all Higgs potential parameters are real. Otherwise, CP is explicitly violated • CP-violation is generated by loop effects involving top and bottom squarks • CP-violation can modify drastically the tree-level couplings of the Higgs particles to fermions and gauge bosons • The CP parities of the neutral Higgs bosons may be mixed by radiative effects involving the third generation of squarks • Under CP violation, the mass of the CP-odd Higgs scalar is no longer an eigenvalue but rather an entry in a general 3 x 3 neutral Higgs mass matrix MSP2 mt4 Im(At) / v2 MSUSY2 where  is the mixing parameter of the two Higgs superfields At denotes the soft SUSY-breaking trilinear coupling of the Higgs bosons to top squarks v=246 GeV VEV of the Higgs MSUSY stands for the common SUSY-breaking scale Miguel A.
