Constraints on and future prospects for Two-Higgs-Doublet Models in light of the LHC Higgs signal

Understand

We analyze the Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) of Type I and II for consistency with the latest measurements of the ~125.5 GeV Higgs-like signal at the LHC.

• To this end, we perform scans of the 2HDM parameter space taking into account all relevant pre-LHC constraints as well as the most recent limits coming from searches for heavy Higgs-like states at the LHC.
• The current status of the 2HDMs of Type I and II is discussed assuming that the observed 125.5 GeV state is one of the two CP-even Higgs bosons, either the lighter h or the heavier H.
• Implications for future experiments, including expectations regarding other lighter or heavier Higgs bosons are given.
