Standard Model: a solid start
LHC (ATLAS&CMS combined) discovered a resonance at∼ 125 GeV: a triumph for Particle Physics and QFT!
Many unsolved problems are left to the community:T fine tuning, hierarchy problem, GUT hypothesis, et cetera;E neutrino masses, dark matter and dark energy
observations, discrepancies in proton radius estimations,et cetera.
The LHC represents the most important chance to deeply testthe minimality of the SM, hopefully probing the existence ofnew objects that could address the mentioned issues.

Bottom-up approach: why a Higgs doublet only?In fact, Nature could have another criterion for minimality.
So. . . why should we assume a minimal Higgs sector?Extended scenarios deserve investigation!
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
Top-down approach: extensions are motivated
Many of the top-down motivated theories call for either anon-minimal or a composite Higgs sector.
Example: SUSY models need (at least) two Higgs doublets.
REMARK
Phenomenological distinctive signatures:• new singlet(s): new neutral Higgs(es) in the spectrum;• new doublet(s): new charged Higgs(es) in the spectrum.

where m212, λ5, λ6 and λ7 are complex parameters.
Setting λ6 = λ7 = 0 will suppress any FCNC.

The 2HDM Yukawa sector
Several assumptions are possible: each corresponds to adifferent “typology” of 2HDM.
Type-I? Type-II? Type-III? Type-X? Type-Y? (Or variants?)
FCNCs are naturally avoided if only one of the two Φi iscoupled to each family.
In this presentation we focus on:• Type-I: only φ2 coupled to the matter;• Type-II: φ1 coupled to d-type quarks and leptons
φ2 coupled to u-type quarks.

LHC explores what LEP hinted at:CP-violating type-I 2HDM
We consider the possibility that an intriguing outcome from theLEP experiment is pointing to an extended Higgs sector, whichmay be directly inspected at the LHC.
From LEP: B(W → τντ ) is higher than B(W → lνl)!• B(W → τντ ) = (11.25± 0.20)%
• B(W → lνl) = (10.80± 0.09)%
2.8 standard deviations away from universality!
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
The key idea
We assume that the deviation from lepton non-universality isdue to a pair-produced light Charged Higgs.
This is possible if MH± ∼MW .
The severe constraints allow only a type-I 2HDM:• all the H±ff couplings are proportional to tanβ−1;• by tuning tanβ−1 to be large, MH± can be ∼MW .
Constraints from top-associated processes are evaded as well!
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
A stringent assumption
If we want to explain lepton non-universality in this way, then:
• we must have a light Charged Higgs;• we must pick the Type-I 2HDM among the other typologies;• we must have a large tanβ.
This already addresses our choice of benchmark points in aspecific corner of the parameter space.
Plus, we assume that M1 = 125 GeV.
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
Benchmarks
We choose a corner of the parameter space:• MH± = 86 GeV (∼MW );• M1 = 125 GeV (a light Higgs is exactly there);• M2 = 200 GeV (our analysis is not really sensible to M2);• µ = v
√ν = 100 GeV (∼ EW scale);
• tanβ = 5 (balancing T and E constraints);
then, we choose two benchmark points:• P1(s1, s2, s3) = (−0.6, 0.1, 0.5);• P2(s1, s2, s3) = (0.0, 0.8, 0.5);

Probing the charged Higgs boson at the LHC
Why CP-violating 2HDM type-II?• Strong connection with a tree-level MSSM Higgs sector;• CP-violation could be induced by loop corrections to the
Higgs potential;
It is possible that the Higgs sector lies in a lower mass rangethan the super-partners of the SM contents and can beaccessible by the LHC. In this regard, a type-II 2HDM should beexplored as an effective low-energy MSSM-like Higgs sector.
If this is true, we have a charged Higgs just around thecorner. . .

Three steps towards the Charged Higgs
The phenomenological analysis focuses on:
1. the CP-violating parameter space in the light of theoreticalarguments and experimental data (up to the newest LHCresults);
2. the profiling of the Charged Higgs in surviving portions ofthe parameter space;
3. a strategy to discover a charged Higgs associated with aW and decaying in a Wbb final state at tanβ ∼ O(1).

pp→ H±W∓: significance analysis
The idea is to use the light Neutral Higgs as a portal for theCharged Higgs discovery in order to avoid the enormous tt̄background.
For this we consider the final state:W∓H± →W∓W±H1 →W∓W±bb̄→ 2j + 2b+ 1`+ METproduced at 14 TeV, with a luminosity of L = 100 fb−1.
Among the possible decay patterns of the two W bosons, thesemi-leptonic one was chosen, allowing the full reconstructionof the events.

When Mlim = 600 GeV the significance reaches the best value.
Finally, if we define a further cut on the peak:

Conclusion
We have studied the phenomenology of the Charged Higgsin two typologies of 2HDM.√
Type-I: starting from a tension between the SM and data(apparent deviation from lepton universality at LEP), wehave suggested a way to explain it (an on-shellproduced light Charged Higgs) and we have proposed amethod to test this hypothesis at the LHC.
√Type-II: assuming an MSSM-like Higgs sector, we haveanalysed the surviving parameter space (in the light ofthe latest LHC data), then we have profiled the ChargedHiggs in such a scenario, finally we have proposed astrategy for discovering this particle at the LHC.

Positivity
In order to have a stable potential, we impose positivity:V (Φ1,Φ2) > 0 as |Φ1|, |Φ2| → ∞.PRD 18 (1978) 2574, PLB 449 (1999) 89, PLB 471 (1999) 182
Additionally, we must insist on the hyerarchy: M2 ≤M3.In general, the minimum of the potential could be either local orglobal. However, if a local charge-conserving minimum existsthen there can be no charge-breaking minimum.PLB 603 (2004) 219, PLB 632 (2006) 684, PLB 652 (2007) 181
Nevertheless, the potential of the 2HDM can have more thanone charge-conserving minimum. We therefore check that theminimum obtained is the global one, following the approach ofRef. JHEP 1106 (2011) 003.
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
Tree-level unitarity
We also impose tree-level unitarity on Higgs–Higgs scattering.PLB 313 (1993) 155, PLB 490 (2000) 119,PRD 72 (2005) 115010
These conditions have a rather dramatic effect at “large” valuesof tanβ and MH± , though some tuning of µ can extend theallowed range to larger values of tanβ(PRD 84 (2011) 055028).
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
Perturbativity
We impose the following upper bound on all λ’s:
|λi| < 4πξ, (1)
with ξ = 0.8, meaning |λi| ≤ 10. The effect of this is to restrictlarge values of the masses, unless the soft parameter µ iscomparable to M2 and MH± .
For illustrations of how these theory constraints cut into theparameter space, see Refs. NPB 775 (2007) 45,NPCS 10 (2007) 347.

B → XsγThis FCNC inclusive decay receives contributions from thecharged Higgs boson that can be comparable to the W±
contribution. Charged Higgs state always contributes positivelyto the corresponding BR. The most up-to-date SM prediction forthis decay, at the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO), gives:
BR(B̄→ Xsγ)SM = (3.11± 0.22)× 10−4, (2)
while the combined experimental value from HFAG points to alarger value:
BR(B̄→ Xsγ)exp = (3.55± 0.24± 0.09)× 10−4. (3)
For type-II Yukawa interactions light charged Higgs bosons areexcluded by this observable. The actual limit is sensitive tohigher-order QCD effects and is of the order of 380 GeV, beingmore severe at low values of tanβ.

Bu → τντIn contrast to the b→ sγ transitions the process Bu → τντ canbe mediated by H± already at tree level. The 2HDMcontribution factorises in the ratio RBτν as compared to the SMvalue. The SM BR evaluates numerically to:
BR(Bu → τντ )SM = (1.01± 0.29)× 10−4. (4)
The SM prediction is compared to the current HFAG value:
BR(Bu → τντ )exp = (1.64± 0.34)× 10−4 (5)
by forming the ratio
RexpBτν ≡
BR(Bu → τντ )exp
BR(Bu → τντ )SM= 1.63± 0.54. (6)
In the framework of the 2HDM this leads to the exclusion of twosectors of the ratio tanβ/MH± .

B → DτντCompared to Bu → τντ , B → D`ν have the advantage ofdepending on |Vcb|, which is known to greater precision than|Vub|. The experimental determination remains however verycomplicated due to the presence of at least two neutrinos in thefinal state. The ratio
ξD`ντ =BR(B → Dτντ )
BR(B → Deνe), (7)
allows one to reduce the theoretical uncertainties. The SMprediction is:
ξSMD`ν = (29.7± 3)× 10−2, (8)
and the most recent experimental result by the BaBarcollaboration is:
ξexpD`ν = (41.6± 11.7± 5.2)× 10−2. (9)
This is complementary to Bu → τντ .
Outline Motivation Introduction Constraints Type-I Type-II Conclusion Acknowledgements
Ds → τντ
Constraints on a light charged Higgs can be obtained,competitive with those obtained from Bu → τντ . The mainuncertainty here is due to the decay constant fDs . The SMprediction for this decay is:
BR(Ds → τντ )SM = (5.11± 0.13)× 10−2, (10)
using fDs = 248± 2.5 MeV, and the current world average ofthe experimental measurements gives:
BR(Ds → τντ )exp = (5.38± 0.32)× 10−2. (11)

Bd,s → µ+µ−
These decays are helicity suppressed in the SM and canreceive sizeable enhancement or depletion fromHiggs-mediated contributions. At large tanβ, thenon-observation of these decay modes imposes a lower boundon the charged Higgs boson mass. The most stringent limits fortheir BRs were reported by the LHCb collaboration:
BR(Bs → µ+µ−) < 4.5× 10−9, (12)BR(Bd → µ+µ−) < 1.0× 10−9, (13)
at 95% C.L., while the SM prediction is:
BR(Bs → µ+µ−) = (3.53± 0.38)× 10−9, (14)BR(Bd → µ+µ−) = (0.11± 0.01)× 10−9, (15)
with Bs being the more constraining. In the type-II 2HDM, theexperimental limits can be reached for large values of theYukawa couplings and small charged Higgs boson masses.

B0 − B̄0 mixing
Due to the possibility of H± exchange, in addition to Wexchange, the B0 − B̄0 mixing constraint, which is sensitive tothe term mt cotβ in the Yukawa couplings, excludes low valuesof tanβ and low values of MH± .
The non-perturbative decay constant fBd and the bagparameter B̂d which are evaluated simultaneously from latticeQCD constitute the largest theoretical uncertainty.

Rb = ΓZ→bb̄/ΓZ→had
The branching ratio Rb ≡ ΓZ→bb̄/ΓZ→had would also be affectedby Higgs boson exchange.
The contributions from neutral Higgs bosons to Rb arenegligible, however, charged Higgs boson contributions, via theH±bt Yukawa coupling, exclude low values of tanβ and lowMH± .

T and S from the EWPT
For the electroweak “precision observables” T and S, weimpose the bounds |∆T | < 0.10, |∆S| < 0.10, at the 1-σ level,within the framework of Refs. JPG 35 (2008) 075001,NPB 801 (2008) 81.
While S is not very restrictive, T gets a positive contributionfrom a splitting between the masses of charged and neutralHiggs bosons, whereas a pair of neutral ones give a negativecontribution.

The bound on the electron EDM constrains the allowed amountof CP violation of the model. We adopt the bound:
