We study the alignment of Yukawa couplings in the framework of general two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) considering a scenario in which the lightest neutral Higgs boson is purely CP even while the two heavier neutral Higgs bosons are allowed to mix in the presence of nontrivial CP-violating phases in the Higgs potential. Identifying the lightest neutral Higgs boson as the 125 GeV one discovered at the LHC, we find that the alignment of Yukawa couplings without decoupling could be easily achieved in the type-I 2HDM with no much conflict with the current LHC Higgs precision data. Otherwise, we observe that the Yukawa couplings of the lightest Higgs boson could decouple much slowly compared to the Higgs coupling to a pair of massive vector bosons and they significantly deviate from the corresponding SM values even when the deviation of the Higgs to vector boson coupling is below the percent level. On the other hand, independently of 2HDM type and regardless of decoupling, we find a wrong-sign alignment limit of the Yukawa couplings in which the Yukawa couplings to the down-type quarks and/or those to the charged leptons are equal in strength but opposite in sign to the corresponding SM ones. The magnitude and sign of the up-type quark Yukawa couplings remain the same as in the SM. Accordingly, in this limit, all four types of 2HDMs are viable against the LHC Higgs precision data.

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the decoupling limit of the 2HDM, a heavy Higgs boson's decays to two Higgs bosons and to Z/W pairs are predicted to have a fixed ratio of about 9.5, independent of Yukawa and scalar-potential parameters.

  2. Correlating $A \to \gamma\gamma$ with electric dipole moments in the two Higgs doublet model in light of the diphoton excesses at 95 GeV and 152 GeV

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The CP-odd scalar A in the flavor-aligned CP-violating 2HDM can explain the diphoton excesses at 95 and 152 GeV only in tuned regions that survive the electron EDM bound and predict measurable neutron and proton EDMs.
