Muon anomalous magnetic moment in the standard model with two Higgs doublets
The muon anomalous magnetic moment is investigated in the standard model with
two Higgs doublets (S2HDM) motivated from spontaneous CP violation. Thus all
the effective Yukawa couplings become complex. As a consequence of the non-zero
phase in the couplings, the one loop contribution from the neutral scalar
bosons could be positive and negative relying on the CP phases. The
interference between one and two loop diagrams can be constructive in a large
parameter space of CP-phases. This will result in a significant contribution to
muon anomalous magnetic moment even in the flavor conserving process with a
heavy neutral scalar boson ( 200 GeV) once the effective muon Yukawa
coupling is large (). In general, the one loop contributions
from lepton flavor changing scalar interactions become more important. In
particular, when all contributions are positive in a reasonable parameter space
of CP phases, the recently reported 2.6 sigma experiment vs. theory deviation
can be easily explained even for a heavy scalar boson with a relative small
Yukawa coupling in the S2HDM.Comment: 8 pages, RevTex file, 5 figures, published version Phys. Rev. D 54

Search for the lepton flavor violating decay A^0/H^0 --> tau^{+/-} mu^{+/-} at hadron colliders
In the two Higgs doublet model type III and in several other extensions of
the Standard Model, there are no discrete symmetries that suppress flavor
changing couplings at tree level. The experimental observation of the nu_mu --
nu_tau flavor oscillation may suggest the non-conservation of lepton number.
This would lead to the decay of the type A^0/H^0 --> tau^{+/-} mu^{+/-}. We
determine the present low energy limit on lepton flavor violating (LFV)
couplings from the muon g-2 measurement and discuss the prospects for detecting
lepton flavor violating decays at the TeVatron and at the Large Hadron
Collider. The achievable bounds on the LFV coupling parameter lambda_{tau mu}
are presented.Comment: 19 pages, 21 figures. Updated version takes into account the recent
