Trang 1at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) In the future projects, the sensitivities of these periments will be improved so that the decay channel h → Zγ may be detected Moreinteresting, if there is any of deviations between experimental results and those pre-dicted by the SM, it will be new physics, in the meaning that there exist additionalcontributions from new particles in models Beyond the Standard Model (BSM).
ex-At the one loop level, the amplitude of the decay h → Zγ predicted by some BSMnormally contains contributions of new particles that do not appear in the SM frame-work Calculating these contributions is rather difficult in the usual ’t Hooft-Feynmangauge, because of the appearance of many unphysical states, namely Goldstone bosonsand ghosts which always exist along with the gauge bosons They brings a very largenumber of Feynman diagrams In addition, their couplings are indeed model depen-dent, so it is hard to construct general formulas determining vector loop contributionsusing the t’ Hooft-Feynman gauge
The technical difficulties caused by unphysical states will vanish if calculations arecarried out in the unitary gauge In such a case, the number of Feynman diagrams
as well as the number of necessary couplings become minimum, namely, only physicalstates are needed Then the Lorentz structures of these couplings are well defined, andhence the general analytic formulas of one-loop contributions from gauge boson loopscan be constructed But in the unitary gauge we face the complicated forms of thegauge boson propagators, which generate many divergent terms Fortunately, many
of them are excluded by the condition of on-shell photon in the decay h → Zγ Theremaining ones will vanish systematically when loop integrals are written in terms ofthe Passarino-Veltman (PV) functions Our results can also be translated into thegeneral analytic form used to calculate the amplitudes of the charged Higgs decay

2012 So far, the most stringent limits on the Br of these decays are Br(h → µτ, eτ ) <O(10−3), from the CMS Collaboration using data collected at a center-of-mass energy
of 13 TeV The sensitivities of the planned colliders for LFVHD searches are predicted
to reach the order of 10−5
The 3-3-1 models contain rich LFV sources which may result in interesting cLFVphenomenology such as charged lepton decays ei → ejγ In particular, it was shownthat Br(µ → eγ) is large in these models and hence it must be taken into account toconstrain the parameter space In addition, such rich LFV resources may give largeLFVHD rates as promising signals of new physics
The 3-3-1 model with inverse seesaw neutrino masses (331ISS) can predict a neutrinomass spectrum consistent with current experimental neutrino data, using the well-known inverse seesaw (ISS) mechanism The model allows large Br(h → µτ, eτ ) ∼O(10−5) in the allowed regions satisfying Br(µ → eγ) < 4.2 × 10−13 The mostinteresting allowed regions will also allow large LFVHD rates, which we will try tolook for in this thesis
Because of the above reasons, the studies on channels decay h → Zγ and h → µτ
in the BSM have been being hot subjects to looking for new physics recently

OVERVIEW
The SM describes successfully strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions based onthe gauge symmetry group SU (3)C ⊗ SU (2)L⊗ U (1)Y However, besides the success,there are still some issues that we need to expand the SM: the SM cannot unify alltypes of interaction (the gravitational force is not include in the SM), the SM does notanswer the questions why are there three fermion generations? why is the top quarkmass not well consistent with the experiment results? the SM describes neutrinos asmassless while the experiments show that neutrinos are massive, Hence, many modelsbeyond the SM have been introduced in order to explain the above shortages One ofthe new research directions for new physics in the BSM is studying the rare decay andthe LFV decay
In the SM, the couplings of the SM-like Higgs boson with other particles and amongparticles in the model contain the parameters that are measured by experiments Thus,the characteristics of the SM-like Higgs boson also have been determined in the SMand have been independently verified by experimental (LHC) For new particles in theBSM, the couplings will contain new unverified parameters Therefore, our study willcontribute to further clarifying the allowed-value regions of these parameters Theywill be easily verified when they are taken to the limit of the SM
The main source leads to LFV is due to the mixture of different generations ofneutrinos, the new leptons that are added in the BSM There are such BSMs as supersymmetry models, seesaw models, 3-3-1 models, However, in the framework of thisthesis, we only focus on 3-3-1 models, particularly the 331ISS model Firstly, theLFV source from the new neutrinos Secondly, the LFV source from new interactionsbetween the SM-like Higgs boson and the new gauge bosons, the SM-like Higgs bosonand new charge Higgs boson These new particles create more one-loop contributionsdiagrams for the LFV decay
Besides, the decays of LFVHDs have been investigated by experiments, these arenew physical signals that is not existed in the SM All the decay channels had not beensearched yet by the low energy accelerators The LHC is the first accelerator with highenergy that enable to search for these decays In 2015, the upper bound Br(h → µτ )

The decay h → Zγ and h → µτ are two channels that have been intensively searched
by the experiments Therefore, these are the promoting subjects of new physics whichhave been hunted by recent experiments In this thesis, we focus mainly on issuesrelated to these two decay channels

where µναβ is the totally antisymmetric tensor with 0123 = −1 and 0123 = +1,
εν∗2 p2ν = 0, F12,22 do not contribute to the total amplitude (2.1) In addition, the Mµν

In fact we find the agreement between eq (3.18) of (Phys Rev D 92) and our result,namely (3.4) is rewritten as follows

So compared to the result of eq (3.18) in (Phys Rev D 92), we find the agreementbut different by a factor of 2 first m4Z This difference may be due to the confusion ofthe authors in (Phys Rev D 92) They differ by

in the range from 100 GeV to O(10) TeV of the charged Higgs mass mH± TheBr(H1 → Zγ) is the same as the SM prediction at large mH± On the other hand,small mH± predicts µZγ < 1, implying that the signal of this decay channel is difficult

Because new heavy charged gauge V± and Higgs bosons S± appear in non-trivialgauge extensions of the SM, they may contribute to loop-induced SM-like Higgs decays
h → γγ and h → Zγ While the couplings hV V and hSS consisting of virtual identicalcharged particles always contribute to both decay amplitudes, the couplings hW V and
hW S of the SM-like Higgs boson only contribute to the later These couplings maycause significant effects to Br(h → Zγ) in the light of the very strict experimentalconstraints of Br(h → γγ) When m2X m2
