Approximate Alignment in Two Higgs Doublet Model with Extra Yukawa Couplings


Abstract in English

With discovery of the 125 GeV boson $h^0$, the existence of a second doublet is very plausible. We show that the alignment phenomenon, that $h^0$ is found to resemble closely the Standard Model Higgs boson, may correspond to Higgs quartic couplings $eta_i$ that are ${cal O}(1)$ in strength. If the exotic bosons of the second doublet possess extra top Yukawa couplings, which are the least constrained by data, such a two Higgs doublet model could drive electroweak baryogenesis, as well as further protect the apparent alignment. The exotic Higgs bosons can be sub-TeV in mass while remaining well hidden so far, with broad parameter space for search at the Large Hadron Collider.
