The Higgs as a harbinger of discrete flavor symmetry — Gautam Bhattacharyya1, •Philipp Leser2, and Heinrich Päs2 — 1Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, 1/AF Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata 700064, India — 2Fakultät für Physik, TU Dortmund, 44221 Dortmund, Germany
Discrete symmetries employed to explain neutrino mixing and mass hierarchies are often associated with an enlarged scalar sector which might lead to exotic Higgs decay modes. We explore such a possibility in a scenario with S3 flavor symmetry which requires three scalar SU(2) doublets. The spectrum is fixed by minimizing the scalar potential, and we observe that the symmetry of the model leads to tantalizing Higgs decay modes potentially observable at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
