Abstract
In minimal left-right symmetric models, the mass of the neutral Higgs field mediating tree-level flavor changing effects (FCNH) is directly related to the parity breaking scale. Specifically, the lower bound on the Higgs mass coming from Higgs-induced tree-level effects, and exceeding about 15 TeV, would tend to imply a WR mass bound much higher than that required by gauge exchange loop effects - the latter allowing WR masses as low as 2.5 TeV. Since a WR mass below 4 TeV is accessible at the LHC, it is important to investigate ways to decouple the FCNH effects from the WR mass. In this Letter, we present a model where this happens, providing new motivation for LHC searches for WR in the 1-4 TeV mass range.
