Abstract

Recently, the BaBar collaboration reported first evidence for new physics in B->D\tauand B->D*\tau\nu. Combining both processes the significance is 3.4\sigma. This result cannot be explained in a two Higgs doublet model of type II. Furthermore, the CKMfitter group finds a 2.9discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction for BrB->\tau\nu (using Vub from a global fit to the unitary triangle) and the measurements of the B factories. Altogether, these measurements are strong indications for physics beyond the SM in B meson decays to taus. We show that in a two Higgs doublet model of type III it is possible to simultaneously explain and using a single free parameter \epsilon^u\_32. Also BrB->\tau\nu can be brought into agreement with experiment using \epsilon^u\_31. Furthermore, for Higgs (A^0, H^0, H^+) masses around 500 GeV, as suggested by recent CMS results, all bounds from FCNC processes are satisfied and B->D\tau\nu, B->D*\tauand B->\taucan be explained without a significant degree of fine-tuning.
