In models where an additional SU(2)-doublet that does not have couplings to fermions participates in electroweak symmetry breaking, the properties of the Higgs boson are changed. At tree level, in the neighborhood of the SM-like range of parameter space, it is natural to have the coupling to vectors, cV, approximately constant, while the coupling to fermions, cf, is suppressed. This leads to enhanced VBF signals of gamma gamma while keeping other signals of Higgses approximately constant (such as WW* and ZZ*), and suppressing higgs to tau tau. Sizable tree-level effects are often accompanied by light charged Higgs states, which lead to important constraints from b to s gamma and top to b H+, but also often to similarly sizable contributions to the inclusive h to gamma gamma signal from radiative effects. In the simplest model, this is described by a Type I 2HDM, and in supersymmetry is naturally realized with sister Higgs fields. In such a scenario, additional light charged states can contribute further with fewer constraints from heavy flavor decays. With supersymmetry, Grand Unification motivates the inclusion of colored partner fields. These G-quarks may provide additional evidence for such a model.

Within the context of supersymmetric theories, explaining a 125 GeV Higgs motivates a consideration of a broader range of models. We consider a simple addition to the MSSM of a Sister Higgs ($Sigma_d$), a Higgs field that participates in electroweak symmetry breaking but does not give any direct masses to Standard Model matter fields. While a relatively minor addition, the phenomenological implications can be important. Such a field can be naturally charged under an additional symmetry group $G_s$. If gauged, the Higgs mass is naturally much larger than in the MSSM through an NMSSM-type interaction, but with $Sigma_d$ playing the role of $H_d$. The addition of the sister Higgs allows new R-parity violating operators $Sigma_d H_d E$, which are less constrained than conventional leptonic R-parity violation. Considerations of unification motivates the presence of colored $G_s$-charged fields. Production of these G-quarks can lead to new b-rich final states and modifications to decays of gluinos, as well as new opportunities for R-parity violation. Unlike a conventional fourth generation, G-quarks dominantly decay into a light jet and a scalar (potentially the Higgs), which then generally decays to b-jets. The presence of additional sister charges allows the possibilities that lightest sister-charged particle (LSiP) could be stable. We consider the possibility of an LSiP dark matter candidate and find it is generally very constrained.
We present a comprehensive analysis of observing a light Higgs boson in the mass range $70$ -- $110$ GeV at the 13/14 TeV LHC, in the context of the type-I two-Higgs-doublet model. The decay of the light Higgs to a pair of bottom quarks is dominant i n most parts of the parameter space, except in the fermiophobic limit. Here its decay to bosons, (mainly a pair of photons), becomes important. We perform an extensive collider analysis for the $bbar{b}$ and $gamma gamma$ final states. The light scalar is tagged in the highly boosted regimes for the $b bar{b}$ mode to reduce the enormous QCD background. This decay can be observed with a few thousand fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the LHC. Near the fermiophobic limit, the decay of the light Higgs to a pair of photons can even be probed with a few hundred fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the LHC.
In this study, we investigate observability of the neutral scalar ($H$) and pseudoscalar ($A$) Higgs bosons in the framework of the Type-I 2HDM at SM-like scenario at a linear collider operating at $sqrt s=$ 500 and 1000 GeV. The signal process chain $e^- e^+ rightarrow A H rightarrow ZHHrightarrow jj bbar{b}bbar{b}$ where $jj$ is a di-jet resulting from the $Z$ boson decay and $bbar{b}$ is a $b$ quark pair, is assumed and several benchmark scenarios with different mass hypotheses are studied. The assumed signal process is mainly motivated by the possible enhancements the decay modes $Arightarrow ZH$ and $Hrightarrow bbar{b}$ may receive in the Type-I. Event generation is performed for the assumed scenarios separately and the beamstrahlung effects are taken into account. The detector response is simulated based on the SiD detector at the ILC and the simulated events are analyzed to obtain candidate mass distributions of the Higgs bosons. According to the results, the top quark pair production process has the most contribution to the total background and is, however, well-controlled. Results indicate that, in all of the considered scenarios, both of the Higgs bosons $H$ and $A$ are observable with signals exceeding $5sigma$ with possibility of mass measurement. To be specific, at $sqrt s=500$ GeV, the region of parameter space with $m_H=150$ GeV and $200leq m_A leq 250$ GeV is observable at the integrated luminosity of 500 $fb^{-1}$. Also, at $sqrt s=1000$ GeV, the region with $150leq m_H leq 250$ GeV and $200leq m_A leq 330$ GeV with a mass splitting of 50-100 GeV between the $H$ and $A$ Higgs bosons is observable at the same integrated luminosity.
We study the discovery potential of the non-Standard Model (SM) heavy Higgs bosons in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) at a multi-TeV muon collider and explore the discrimination power among different types of 2HDMs. We find that the pair product ion of the non-SM Higgs bosons via the universal gauge interactions is the dominant mechanism once above the kinematic threshold. Single Higgs boson production associated with a pair of heavy fermions could be important in the parameter region with enhanced Yukawa couplings. For both signal final states, $mu^+ mu^-$ annihilation channels dominate over the vector boson fusion (VBF) processes, except at high center of mass energies where the VBF processes receive large logarithmic enhancement with the increase of energies. Single Higgs boson $s$-channel production in $mu^+ mu^-$-annihilation via the radiative return can also be important for the Type-L 2HDM in the very large $tanbeta$ region, extending the kinematic reach of the heavy Higgs boson mass to the collider energy. Considering both the production and decay of non-SM Higgs bosons, signals can be identified over the Standard Model backgrounds. Different types of 2HDMs can be distinguishable for moderate and large values of $tanbeta$.
We perform a comprehensive study of The Higgs potential of the two Higgs doublet model extended by a real triplet scalar field $Delta$. This model, dubbed $2mathcal{HDM+T}$, has a rich Higgs spectrum consisting of three CP-even Higgs $h_{1,2,3}$, one CP-odd $A_0$ and two pairs of charged Higgs $H^pm_{1,2}$. First, we determine the perturbative unitarity constraints and a set of non trivial conditions for the boundedness from below (BFB). Then we derive the Veltman conditions by considering the quadratic divergencies of Higgs boson self energies in $2mathcal{HDM+T}$. We find that the parameter space is severely delimited by these theoretical constraints, as well as experimental exclusion limits and Higgs signal rate measurements at LEP and LHC. Using HiggsBounds-5.3.2beta and HiggSignals-2.2.3beta public codes an exclusion test at $2sigma$ is then performed on the physical scalars of $2mathcal{HDM+T}$. Our analysis provides a clear insight on the nonstandard scalar masses, showing that the allowed ranges are strongly sensitive to the sign of mixing angle $alpha_1$, essentially when naturalness is involved. For $alpha_1 < 0$ scenario, our results place higher limits on the bounds of all scalar masses, and show that the pairs $(h_2, H_1^pm)$ and $(h_3, H_2^pm)$ are nearly mass degenerate varying within the intervals $[130,,,246]$~GeV and $[160,,,335]$~GeV respectively. When $alpha_1$ turns positive, we show that consistency with theoretical constraints and current LHC data, essentially on the diphoton decay channel, favors Higgs masses varying within wide allowed ranges: $[153,,,973]$~GeV for $m_{A_0}$; $[151,,,928]$~GeV for ($m_{h_2}$, $m_{H_1^pm}$) and $[186,,,979]$~GeV for ($m_{h_3}$, $m_{H_2^pm}$). Finally, we find that the $gamma gamma$ and $Zgamma$ Higgs decay modes are generally correlated.
