A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson () with a mass of 125 to a pair of light pseudoscalars is performed in final states where one pseudoscalar decays to two quarks and the other to a pair of muons or leptons. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 recorded with the CMS detector is analyzed. No statistically significant excess is observed over the standard model backgrounds.

The large radiative production rate for pseudoscalar mesons in the J/ψ radiative decay remains elusive. We present the first lattice QCD calculation of partial decay width of J/ψ radiatively decaying into η_{(2)}, the SU(2) flavor singlet pseudoscalar meson, which confirms QCD U_{A}(1) anomaly enhancement to the coupling of gluons with flavor singlet pseudoscalar mesons. The lattice simulation is carried out using N_{f}=2 lattice QCD gauge configurations at the pion mass m_{π}≈350  MeV.

In this Letter, we propose a simple model that can provide a combined explanation of the Z→bb[over ¯] forward-backward asymmetry, the Cabibbo angle anomaly (CAA), τ→μνν and b→sℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} data. This model is obtained by extending the standard model (SM) by two heavy vectorlike quarks (an SU(2)_{L} doublet (singlet) with hypercharge -5/6 (-1/3), two new scalars (a neutral and a singly charged one), and a gauged L_{μ}-L_{τ} symmetry. The mixing of the new quarks with the SM ones, after electroweak symmetry breaking, does not only explain Z→bb[over ¯] data, but also generates a lepton flavor universal contribution to b→sℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} transitions.

Many scenarios of physics beyond the standard model predict the existence of new gauge singlets, which might be substantially lighter than the weak scale. The experimental constraints on additional scalars with masses in the MeV to GeV range could be significantly weakened if they interact predominantly with leptons rather than quarks. At an e^{+}e^{-} collider, such a leptophilic scalar (Ï•_{L}) would be produced predominantly through radiation from a Ï„ lepton.
