If no CP violation in the Higgs sector:

Craig, Galloway,Thomas’13 ; M.C, Low, Shah, Wagner ‘13 More explicitly, since s = c in the alignment limit, we can re-write the above matrix ⇥ equation as two algebraic equations: 3

2 2 2 2 2 ˜ 2 2 (C1) : mh = v L11 + t⇥v L12 = v ⇥1c⇥ +3⇥6s⇥c⇥ + ⇥3s⇥ + ⇥7t⇥s⇥ , (41)

Recall that ⇥˜3 =(⇥3 + ⇥4 + ⇥5). In the above mh is the SM-like Higgs mass, measured to

be about 125 GeV, and Lij is known once a model is specified. Notice that (C1) depends

on all the quartic couplings in the scalar potential except ⇥2, while (C2) depends on all the

quartics but ⇥1. If there exists a t⇥ satisfying the above equations, then the alignment limit

would occur for arbitrary values of mA and does not require non-SM-like scalars to be heavy! Henceforth we will consider the coupled equations given in Eqs. (41) and (42) as required conditions for alignment. When the model parameters satisfy them, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson behaves exactly like a SM Higgs boson even if the non-SM-like scalars are light. A detailed analysis of the physical solutions will be presented in the next Section.

C. Departure from Alignment

B. Departure from AlignmentSo far we have analyzed solutions for the alignment conditions (C1) and (C2) in general 2HDMs. However, it is likely that the alignment limit, if realized in Nature at all, is

Phenomenologically it seemsonly likely approximate that and alignment the value of willt⇥ does only not be need realized to coincide approximately, with the value at the rather than exactly.

Outlook The 125 GeV Higgs can be accommodated in many BSM scenarios with light partners

Precision measurements of the Higgs signals call for a significant degree of alignment that in turn has important implications for the searches for additional Higgs bosons and Dark Matter

In the MSSM: Alignment calls for sizeable mu or heavy MA Dark Matter at the Well tempered, Bino-Higgsino region, may avoid constraints provided extra Higgs bosons are light. This calls for alignment Departure from Alignment yield A/H decays into gauge bosons, h and top pairs (Ewikinos)

In the NMSSM: Necessary degree of alignment without decoupling is tied to a light Higgsino, Singlino and singlet –like Higgs sector, and allows for light stops with moderate mixing. Good for achieving the 125 Higgs mass and compatible with perturbavity up to M GUT New search channels for A/H decaying to Higgs like singlets and gauge bosons Blind spots for Direct DM searches may profit from Light Singlino-Higgsino region (TBC)

Composite Higgs Models (PNGB) Model Building constrained by Higgs precision data Can have Heavy Higgs bosons with non universal couplings to WW/ZZ + CP violation emerging in the bottom quark and tau lepton sectors
