Abstract
After the discovery of a Standard Model-like boson with mass of about 125 GeV the possibility of an enlarged scalar sector arises naturally. Here we present the current status of the phenomenology of the two-Higgs-doublet models with a special focus on the charged Higgs sector. If one considers a fermiophobic charged Higgs (it does not couple to fermions at tree level), all present experimental bounds are evaded trivially, therefore one needs to consider other decay and production channels. In this work we also present some of the interesting features of this specific scenario.
Highlights
The discovery of a Higgs-like boson constitutes a great motivation in our quest for a deeper understanding of the scalar sector
The recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson has confirmed the existence of a scalar sector, which so far seems compatible with the SM predictions
We have shown the current bounds on the parameter space of the model that can be drawn from the LHC and other additional flavour constraints
Summary
The discovery of a Higgs-like boson constitutes a great motivation in our quest for a deeper understanding of the scalar sector. That we have proven experimentally that this sector exists, one question that arises naturally is, are there more scalars? The simplest extension of the SM, which has a richer scalar sector and that could give rise to new interesting phenomenology in the flavour physics sector is the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. We shall present the phenomenology of the scalar sector of this model and see how the new LHC data together with the flavour constraints affects its parameter space
