A Tale of Two Twin Higgses: Addressing Little Hierarchy in Natural 2HDM Framework

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

In original twin Higgs model, vacuum misalignment between electroweak and new physics scales is realized by adding explicit Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking term. Introducing additional twin Higgs could accommodate spontaneous Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking, which explains the origin of this misalignment. We introduce a class of two twin Higgs doublet models with most general scalar potential, and discuss general conditions which trigger electroweak and Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 symmetry breaking. Various scenarios on realising the vacuum misalignment are systematically discussed in a natural two Higgs double model framework: explicit Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking, radiative Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking, tadpole-induced Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking, and quartic-induced Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 breaking. We investigate the Higgs mass spectra and the Higgs phenomenology in these scenarios.
