Z and Higgs Factory Implications of Two Higgs Doublets with First-Order Phase Transitions

Abstract

We investigate the potential of future electron-positron colliders, such as FCC-ee and CEPC, to probe 2-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) that facilitate a strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT), a necessary condition for electroweak baryogenesis. Focusing on a 2HDM in the CP-conserving limit, we identify parameter regions consistent with an SFOEWPT and evaluate their compatibility with projected precision electroweak and Higgs measurements, as well as searches for exotic Higgs bosons. We show that radiative corrections to $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to hZ$ production introduce deviations in the cross section that are resolvable with the anticipated sub-percent precision at lepton colliders even when experimental outcomes of the LHC and $Z$ pole measurements are in agreement with the SM. This underscores the opportunities of a precision lepton collider to explore BSM quantum corrections to the Higgs sector more broadly.
