Abstract

Using the experimental value of the KLKS mass difference, we derive constraints on charged-Higgs-boson couplings in gauge theories of the weak and electromagnetic interactions. These bounds severely restrict the possible magnitude of charged-Higgs-boson effects in K and D meson decays. Our results are based on the observation that charged-Higgs-boson-exchange contributions to K0K¯0 mixing are of order 1MH2 whereas the corresponding W-boson contribution is only of order mc2MW4.
