Scrutinizing the alignment limit in two-Higgs-doublet models: mh=125 GeV

In the alignment limit of a multidoublet Higgs sector, one of the Higgs mass eigenstates aligns with the direction of the scalar field vacuum expectation values, and its couplings approach those of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. We consider CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) of Typ...

description In the alignment limit of a multidoublet Higgs sector, one of the Higgs mass eigenstates aligns with the direction of the scalar field vacuum expectation values, and its couplings approach those of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. We consider CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) of Type I and Type II near the alignment limit in which the lighter of the two CP-even Higgs bosons, h, is the SM-like state observed at 125 GeV. In particular, we focus on the 2HDM parameter regime where the coupling of h to gauge bosons approaches that of the SM. We review the theoretical structure and analyze the phenomenological implications of the regime of the alignment limit without decoupling, in which the other Higgs scalar masses are not significantly larger than mh and thus do not decouple from the effective theory at the electroweak scale. For the numerical analysis, we perform scans of the 2HDM parameter space employing the software packages 2hdmc and Lilith, taking into account all relevant pre-LHC constraints, the latest constraints from the measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs signal at the LHC, as well as the most recent limits coming from searches for heavy Higgs-like states. We contrast these results with the alignment limit achieved via the decoupling of heavier scalar states, where h is the only light Higgs scalar. Implications for Run 2 at the LHC, including expectations for observing the other scalar states, are also discussed.
