“…Taking the limit of vanishing external momenta afterwards we arrive at a finite expression for the second derivative of the CW potential. This cancellation was checked explicitly using the results from the diagrammatic calculation performed in [76,77]. In practice, this result can be obtained directly from the effective potential approach by regularising the logarithmic divergence with a regulator mass and then discarding the terms proportional to this logarithm [72].…”

The discovery of the Higgs boson by the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS has marked a milestone for particle physics. Yet, there are still many open questions that cannot be answered within the Standard Model (SM). For example, the generation of the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe through baryogenesis can only be explained qualitatively in the SM. A simple extension of the SM compatible with the current theoretical and experimental constraints is given by the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) where a second Higgs doublet is added to the Higgs sector. We investigate the possibility of a strong first order electroweak phase transition in the CP-conserving 2HDM type I and type II where either of the CP-even Higgs bosons is identified with the SM-like Higgs boson. The renormalisation that we apply on the loop-corrected Higgs potential allows us to efficiently scan the 2HDM parameter space and simultaneously take into account all relevant theoretical and up-to-date experimental constraints. The 2HDM parameter regions found to be compatible with the applied constraints and a strong electroweak phase transition are analysed systematically. Our results show that there is a strong interplay between the requirement of a strong phase transition and collider phenomenology with testable implications for searches at the LHC.

“…(iv) One-loop expressions for the unitarity conditions [35,96] were also considered at all scales. (v) It is well known that one-loop corrections to the quartic couplings can be very large in some regions of the 2HDM parameter space [97,98]. As these are then used in the matching procedure, large deviations are to be expected in the one-loop matching procedure [99,100] compared to the values obtained via treelevel matching.…”

The two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) provides an excellent benchmark to study physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we discuss how the behavior of the model at high-energy scales causes it to have a scalar with properties very similar to those of the SM-which means the 2HDM can be seen to naturally favor a decoupling or alignment limit. For a type II 2HDM, we show that requiring the model to be theoretically valid up to a scale of 1 TeV, by studying the renormalization group equations (RGE) of the parameters of the model, causes a significant reduction in the allowed magnitude of the quartic couplings. This, combined with B-physics bounds, forces the model to be naturally decoupled. As a consequence, any nondecoupling limits in type II, like the wrong-sign scenario, are excluded. On the contrary, even with the very constraining limits for the Higgs couplings from the LHC, the type I model can deviate substantially from alignment. An RGE analysis similar to that made for type II shows, however, that requiring a single scalar to be heavier than about 500 GeV would be sufficient for the model to be decoupled. Finally, we show that the 2HDM is stable up to the Planck scale independently of which of the CP-even scalars is the discovered 125 GeV Higgs boson.

“…In the framework of the 2HDM, some of the authors of this work provided an important basis for the computation of HO corrections in the 2HDM by working out a manifestly gauge-independent renormalization of the two 2HDM mixing angles α and β, which is also numerically stable and process independent [36]. These angles, which diagonalise the neutral CP-even and the neutral CP-odd or charged Higgs sectors, respectively, enter all Higgs couplings so that they are relevant for Higgs boson phenomenology.…”

“…In the renormalization of the N2HDM Higgs sector we closely follow the procedure applied in the 2HDM renormalization of refs. [36,37]. There, for the first time, a gauge-independent renormalization has been worked out for the 2HDM mixing angles by applying the treatment of the tadpoles of ref.…”

Abstract:The Next-to-Minimal 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (N2HDM) is an interesting benchmark model for a Higgs sector consisting of two complex doublet and one real singlet fields. Like the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension (NMSSM) it features light Higgs bosons that could have escaped discovery due to their singlet admixture. Thereby, the model allows for various different Higgs-to-Higgs decay modes. Contrary to the NMSSM, however, the model is not subject to supersymmetric relations restraining its allowed parameter space and its phenomenology. For the correct determination of the allowed parameter space, the correct interpretation of the LHC Higgs data and the possible distinction of beyond-the-Standard Model Higgs sectors higher order corrections to the Higgs boson observables are crucial. This requires not only their computation but also the development of a suitable renormalization scheme. In this paper we have worked out the renormalization of the complete N2HDM and provide a scheme for the gauge-independent renormalization of the mixing angles. We discuss the renormalization of the Z 2 soft breaking parameter m 2 12 and the singlet vacuum expectation value v S . Both enter the Higgs self-couplings relevant for Higgs-to-Higgs decays. We apply our renormalization scheme to different sample processes such as Higgs decays into Z bosons and decays into a lighter Higgs pair. Our results show that the corrections may be sizable and have to be taken into account for reliable predictions.
