Flavor-changing processes andCPviolation in theS3 × Z3model

Abstract
We analyze Higgs-boson-mediated processes in the recently proposed model based on the additional discrete symmetry S3 × Z3. The tightest constraints on the flavor-changing Higgs-boson masses arise from ΔMK and ΔMB and require that these bosons have masses greater than 2TeV. CP violation arises predominantly from Higgs-boson exchange and is of the superweak type. To account for CP violation in the K system, a reasonable Higgs-boson-mass range should be between 12 and 40 TeV. Leptonic and semileptonic flavor-changing processes are negligible.
