Abstracts

The excess of top-quark forward-backward asymmetry (A(FB)(t)) reported by the Tevatron and the enhancement of the Higgs decay to diphoton observed at the LHC may point to a same origin of new physics. In this note we examined such anomalies in the two-Higgs-doublet model with a color-triplet scalar. We found that under current experimental constraints this model can simultaneously explain both anomalies at 1 sigma level. Also, we examined the Higgs decay h -> Z gamma and displayed its correlation with h -> gamma gamma. We found that unlike other models, this model predicts a special correlation between h -> Z gamma and h -> gamma gamma, i.e., the Z gamma rate is highly suppressed while the gamma gamma rate is enhanced. This behavior may help to distinguish this model in the future high luminosity run of the LHC.
