Abstract

Future precision measurements of the Standard Model (SM) parameters at the proposed Z-factories and Higgs factories may have significant impacts on new physics beyond the Standard Model in the electroweak sector. We illustrate this by focusing on the Type-II two Higgs doublet model (Type-II 2HDM). The contributions from the heavy Higgs bosons at the tree-level and at the one-loop level are included in a full model parameter space. We perform a multiple variable global fit and study the extent to which the parameters of non-alignment and non-degenerate masses can be probed by the precision measurements. We find that the allowed parameter ranges are tightly constrained by the future Higgs precision measurements, especially for small and large values of tan β. Indirect limits on the masses of heavy Higgs can be obtained, which can be complementary to the direct searches of the heavy Higgs bosons at hadron colliders. We also find that the expected accuracies at the Z-pole and at a Higgs factory are quite complementary in constraining mass splittings of heavy Higgs bosons. The typical results are | cos(β − α)| < 0.008, |ΔmΦ| < 200 GeV, and tan β ∼ 0.2 − 5. The reaches from CEPC, FCC-ee and ILC are also compared, for both Higgs and Z-pole precision measurements.

Highlights

  • Complementary to the direct searches, precision measurements of Standard Model (SM) parameters, in particular, the Higgs boson properties could lead to relevant insights into new physics

  • We find that the expected accuracies at the Z-pole and at a Higgs factory are quite complementary in constraining mass splittings of heavy Higgs bosons

  • With about 106 Higgs bosons produced at the Higgs factory, one would expect to reach subpercentage precision determination of the Higgs properties, and to be sensitive to new physics associated with the Higgs boson

Summary

The EW and Higgs precision measurements at future lepton colliders

The EW precision measurements are important in understanding the SM physics, and can impose strong constraints on new physics models [30, 31]. The benchmark scenarios of several proposed future e+e− machines and the projected precisions on Z-pole. These expected results serve as the inputs for the later studies in constraining the BSM Higgs sector
