Description
After the discovery of the Higgs boson by the experiments at the LHC, the search
for new bosons has become of great interest. Based on a number of features of the data, the
existence of a heavy boson with a mass around 270 GeV has been postulated with a number
of interactions. One interesting extension of the Standard Model is the Left-Right Symmetric
Models (LRSM). Among the interesting features of the LRSM is their complex Higgs sector.
Unlike the SM with only one neutral Higgs Boson, LRSM offers a variety of Higgs Bosons
which include neutral, singly charged and doubly charged Higgs Bosons. Due to the Flavour
Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs) constraints, the neutral Bosons of the bi-doublet sector
are constrained to be at least 10 TeV. One way to suppress the FCNCs effect is by imposing a
global symmetry on LRSM Lagrangian. We analyse the possibility of suppressing the FCNCs
effects in the LRSM and determine the possibility of having a heavy neutral Higgs Boson of
mass around 270 GeV in the Higgs sector of the LRSM.
