Status of the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model confronted with the Higgs data

Imposing the theoretical constraints from vacuum stability, unitarity and perturbativity as well as the experimental constraints from the electroweak precision data, flavor observables and the non-observation of additional Higgs at collider, we study the implications of available Higgs signals on a two-Higgs-doublet model with the alignment of the down-type quarks and charged lepton Yukawa coupling matrices. Compared to the four traditional types of two-Higgs-doublet models, the model has two additional mixing angles $θ_d$ and $θ_l$ in the down-type quark and charged lepton Yukawa interactions. We find that the mixing angle $θ_d$ can loose the constraints on $sin(β-α)$, $tanβ$ and $m_{H^{\pm}}$ sizably. The model can provide the marginally better fit to available Higgs signals data than SM, which requires the Higgs couplings with gauge bosons, $u\bar{u}$ and $d\bar{d}$ to be properly suppressed, and favors (1 <θ_d< 2, 0.5 <θ_l< 2.2) for $m_h=$ 125.5 GeV and (0.5 <θ_d< 2, 0.5 <θ_l< 2.2) for $m_H=$ 125.5 GeV. However, these Higgs couplings are allowed to have sizable deviations from SM for ($m_h=$ 125.5 GeV, 125.5 $\leq m_H\leq$ 128 GeV) and (125 GeV $\leq m_h\leq$ 125.5 GeV, $m_H=$ 125.5 GeV).
