In particular, the amplitude of H 0 → ¯ ℓ i ℓ j is expected to be proportional to the product of heavy-light Yukawa couplings y i y j = 2 s ν i s ν j m 2 N / v 2 , where s ν i , j express the heavy-light neutrino mixings. Here, we revisit these Higgs decays in the most generic extension of the neutrino sector, focusing on large values of y i . We show that decoupling effects and a cancellation between the two dominant contributions to these processes makes the amplitude about 100 times smaller than anticipated. We find that perturbative values of y i giving an acceptable contribution to the ρ parameter imply B ( H 0 → ¯ ℓ i ℓ j ) < 10 − 8 for any lepton flavors, a rate that is not accessible at current colliders.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities FPA2016-78220-C3 PID2019-107844GB-C21/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia FQM 101 SOMM17/6104/UGR P18-FR-1962 P18-FR-5057}, organization = {Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT)}, publisher = {AMER PHYSICAL SOC}, title = {ρ parameter and H 0 → ℓ i ℓ j in models with TeV sterile neutrinos}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevD.102.113006}, author = {Hernández Tomé, G. and Illana Calero, José Ignacio and Masip Mellado, Manuel}, }
