Constraining the Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model parameter space

Abstract

We confront the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with a variety of experimental constraints as well as theoretical consistency conditions. The most constraining data are the \bar B\to X_sγdecay rate (at low values of M_{H^\pm}), and Δρ(at both low and high M_{H^\pm}). We also take into account the B\bar B oscillation rate and R_b, or the width Γ(Z\to b\bar b) (both of which restrict the model at low values of \tanβ), and the B^-\toτν_τdecay rate, which restricts the model at high \tanβand low M_{H^\pm}. Furthermore, the LEP2 non-discovery of a light, neutral Higgs boson is considered, as well as the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Since perturbative unitarity excludes high values of \tanβ, the model turns out to be very constrained. We outline the remaining allowed regions in the \tanβ-M_{H^\pm} plane for different values of the masses of the two lightest neutral Higgs bosons, and describe some of their properties.
