Additional Higgs bosons: Supersymmetry or warped extra dimensions?

Abstract

We investigate and compare additional CP-even, CP-odd and charged scalar states appearing in two popular Beyond the Standard Model scenarios. We focus on the simplest possible Higgs sector within warped extra-dimensions and supersymmetry, with the aim to differentiate between them. In each case, we analyze the couplings of the new Higgs states, looking for distinguishing signatures. We show that the couplings of the Standard Model gauge bosons to the first Kaluza-Klein Higgs states of the extra-dimensional setup (CP-even, CP-odd and charged) are very similar to those of the heavy Higgs states of the MSSM in the decoupling region. We also find that the Yukawa couplings in the extra-dimensional scenario can mimic the different types of Yukawa couplings of general Two-Higgs Doublet Models, in particular the so-called Type-II couplings, which are similar to those in the MSSM.
