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

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

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), tan β and m H ± sizably. The model can provide the marginally better fit to available Higgs signals data than SM, which requires the Higgs couplings with gauge bosons, uū and dd̄ 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 ≤ m H ≤ 128 GeV) and (125 GeV ≤ m h ≤ 125.5 GeV, m H = 125.5 GeV).
