Two Higgs doublet model fitting and $t\bar{t}b\bar{b}$ signal at the ILC

Abstract

One of the most straightforward extensions of the standard model (SM) is having an additional Higgs doublet to the SM, namely the two Higgs doublet models(THDM). In the type-I model, an additional Higgs doublet is introduced that does not couple to any fermion via the Yukawa interaction in the original Lagrangian. Considering various theoretical and phenomenological constraints, we have found the best-fitted parameter set in the type-I model using the minimum $\chi^2$ method by scanning the model's parameter space. We show that this optimal parameter set can be tested by precisely analyzing the decay processes $D^+_s \rightarrow \tau^+ \nu_\tau$, $D^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu$, and $B^0 \rightarrow K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$. Moreover, the decay channels $h \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ can be used to distinguish the model from the SM. For a direct search of the model at future colliders, we have proposed an investigation of the $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t} b\bar{b}$ process at the ILC to detect the new physics of the model. Considering the initial state radiation correction and applying appropriate background cuts, the calculation result of the scattering cross section shows that it is feasible to observe a clear and unique signal in the $t\bar{b}$ invariant mass distribution corresponding to the charged Higgs pair creations.
