Description of the model

This model is an extension of the SM, including dim-6 effective operators which generate modifications to the Higgs Yukawa couplings to quarks, as described in Ref [1] :

$\mathcal{L} =  -y^{NP}_d \frac{ |H|^2}{vev^2}\, \bar{Q}_L d_R  H -
y_u^{NP} \frac{|H|^2}{vev^2}\, \bar{u}_R Q_L  H + h.c.$

where vev=246 GeV and y_uNP, y_dNP are matrices in the flavor space. By default, they are set to the diagonal values y_uNP =diag(YukU, YukC, YukT), y_dNP =diag(YukD, YukS, YukB), where Yuk* are adjustable external parameters.
