DGP cosmological model with generalized Ricci dark energy

The Higgs-boson decay \(h \rightarrow \gamma \ell ^+ \ell ^-\) for various lepton states \(\ell = (e, \, \mu , \, \tau )\) is analyzed. The differential decay width and forward–backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass in a model where the Higgs boson interacts with leptons and quarks via a mixture of scalar and pseudoscalar couplings. These couplings are partly constrained from data on the decays to leptons, \(h \rightarrow \ell ^+ \ell ^-\) , and quarks \(h \rightarrow q \bar{q} \) (where \(q = (c, \, b)\) ), while the Higgs couplings to the top quark are chosen from the two-photon and two-gluon decay rates. Nonzero values of the forward–backward asymmetry will manifest effects of new physics in the Higgs sector. The decay width and asymmetry integrated over the dilepton invariant mass are also presented.
