1 Introduction
After the discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson lhc2012 ; Chatrchyan:2012xdj , its nature has been found to follow very closely to the prediction of the Standard Model (SM) in terms of its production and decay properties atlas-higgs as well as the CP property cms-higgs . Nonetheless, we expect that there must be new physics beyond SM for various theoretical and phenomenological reasons. Extending the Higgs sector with an additional doublet is an interesting option which has potentially important implications on several new physics phenomena. A Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is able to realize electroweak baryogenesis turok90 , and the relevant CP violation (CPV) may appear in electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fermions Barroso:2012wz ; jung13 ; ipek13 ; Cheung:2014oaa ; inoue14 ; Shu:2013uua ; Keus:2017ioh . Such CP violation effect could be probed as well in the future collider experiments Chen:2015gaa ; chen17 ; fontes17 ; aoki18 .
On the other hand, the observed deviation of the muon anomalous moment bnl can be explained in type-X 2HDM broggio14 ; jinsu16 ; Cao:2009as ; Wang:2014sda ; Ilisie:2015tra ; Abe:2015oca ; Cherchiglia:2017uwv ; Wang:2018hnw . Both for EDM and the muon , sizable contributions come from two-loop Barr-Zee (BZ) diagrams barr-zee . However, the favored parameter spaces are largely orthogonal to each other. The data can be accommodated only by type-X 2HDM with large and a very light pseudoscalar, while strong phase transition for electroweak baryogenesis can be realized for a very heavy pseudoscalar Higgs boson preferring low dorsch16 . A recent study Wang:2018hnw showed that strongly first order phase transition could be obtained for some limited parameter region explaining the muon deviation with a light pseudoscalar. It is interesting to see whether sizable CPV can be allowed for successful electroweak baryogenesis. Collider searches for such a light pseudoscalar at LHC were studied in Chun:2015hsa ; Chun:2017yob ; Chun:2018vsn . However, more studies are needed to probe the whole parameter space favorable for the muon .
In this paper, we analyze the general (complex) parameter region of the type-X 2HDM compatible with the EDM and measurements. Since both quantities come from the same type of loop diagrams, only the electron EDM is highly enhanced in the region compatible with the muon anomaly and thus the CP violating coupling is severely constrained by the electron EDM limit.
The contents of the paper are as follows. In Section 2, we give a brief introduction to the general properties of the CP-violating type-X 2HDM, and define our input parameter set. In Section 3, we describe all the theoretical and experimental bounds on the parameter space to find allowed region and the results of analysis are presented in Section 4. Finally we conclude in Section 5. In Appendix, we collect all the necessary formula to compute EDM in 2HDM.
2 The violating type-X two-Higgs Doublet Model
In this section we will briefly summarize the CP violating two-Higgs doublet model. The model consists of two scalar doublets and of equal hypercharge. The general form of the scalar potential is given by
[TABLE]
In general fermions can couple to both the scalars and flavor changing neutral current interactions (FCNCs) can appear at tree level. To avoid the problematic FCNCs we impose a symmetry under which the scalars are oppositely charged, and , and the fermions are also charged appropriately. This charge assignment forbids the and term in the scalar potential in Eq. 1. Here, we include the soft breaking term which can generates CP violation in the scalar sector Accomando:2006ga . This term is also important to keep the quartic coupling below perturbativity limit Gunion:1989we ; Gunion:2002zf . The complex parameters in the potential are and while all other parameters are real. The scalars can be parameterized as
[TABLE]
where the vacuum expectation values (s) are real and . In general one of the s can be complex. Under the global phase transformation the couplings and can absorb the global phase. Thus and are real parameters. Minimization of the scalar potential yields the following relations (we define ),
[TABLE]
From Eq. 5 it is evident that there is only one free CPV parameter and from now on we will use as free parameter to quantify the CP violation.
2.1 Scalar Spectrum
After the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) we obtain one physical charged scalar and one Goldstone boson,
[TABLE]
and mass of the charged scalar reads as,
[TABLE]
where we define,
[TABLE]
Similarly, mixing between the two CP-odd components of the scalar doublets generates a Goldstone and a CP-odd scalar,
[TABLE]
In the case of CP conserving 2HDM model the combination is the mass eigenstate. Since we have explicit CP violation, will further mix with and to produce three neutral scalar mass eigenstates. The mass matrix is given by,
[TABLE]
The neutral mass squared matrix is,
[TABLE]
where and . The mass matrix can be diagonalized by a rotation matrix such that and we get,
[TABLE]
We define and is the Higgs boson observed at the LHC with mass 125 GeV. As we will see that allowed CPV is small, the mass eigenstate is predominantly CP-odd whereas and are mostly CP-even. The rotation matrix depends on three mixing angles, and where the last two angles stem from CP violation. The matrix can be parameterized as
[TABLE]
where etc and .
There are ten real parameters in the scalar potential which are,
[TABLE]
It is possible to re-express the parameters of the potential in terms of the following phenomenological parameters,
[TABLE]
We can express the quartic couplings in terms of the the phenomenological parameters inoue14 :
[TABLE]
Note that all the parameters in Eq. 14 are not independent since there is only one independent CP violating parameter as indicated by Eq. 5. For simplicity we have used as the measure of CP violation in our model and computed and accordingly. Moreover, the angle is re-expressed by using where the angle diagonalizes the CP even neutral scalar mass matrix in the CP conserving 2HDM scenario. Consequently, the phenomenological parameter set we have used for parameter scan is :
[TABLE]
To compute the quartic couplings in Eq. 15 we need to recast the angles and in terms of the parameters as shown in Eq. 16. From the diagonalization of the neutral scalar mass matrix we have, and using Eq. 10 we get the following relations,
[TABLE]
Assuming small CP violation we can solve the above two equations under the assumption that . We obtain the following expression up to leading order of ,
[TABLE]
These expressions are valid as long as the mass of is not very close to any of the other two scalars. For our numerical computation we have used the full expressions without any assumptions. Now using our phenomenological parameter set we can compute all the scalar mixing and quartic couplings.
2.2 Yukawa and Gauge Interactions of the neutral scalars
The interaction of the fermions with the two scalar doublets depends on the symmetry we invoked to remove the tree level FCNCs. Depending on the charge assignment for fermions, four independent types of Yukawa interactions are allowed Branco:2011iw . We are interested in the scenario where the leptons couple to one doublet () and the quarks couple to the other doublet (). This model is known as type-X 2HDM or leptophilic 2HDM. The Yukawa terms read as,
[TABLE]
The above Lagrangian can be realized if is odd under the symmetry while the other fermions are even under it. After the EWSB the general form of the Yukawa interaction is,
[TABLE]
where and are the Yukawa modifiers. We can express the Yukawa modifiers in terms of mixing matrix() and as shown in Table 1 where is the universal modifier for all generations of up type quarks and same is true for down type quarks (), and leptons (). In the limit , the modifiers to the SM like Higgs goes to +1 essentially restoring the SM Yukawa coupling. This is called right sign (RS) Yukawa limit. However, if takes the particular value then the lepton Yukawa modifier becomes ‘-1’ and is known as wrong sign (WS) Yukawa limit.
The couplings between neutral Higgs bosons and the gauge bosons can be written as,
[TABLE]
where the expression for is shown in Table 1.
3 Theoretical and experimental constraints
3.1 Perturbativity and vacuum stability
The quartic couplings have to satisfy the theoretical conditions for vacuum stability and perturbativity. For perturbativity we ensure that . The vacuum stability conditions are Gunion:2002zf ,
[TABLE]
The limit on the quartic coupling and consequently on the scalar masses depends on the parameter . To satisfy the perturbativity and vacuum stability constraints the heavy scalar mass need to obey the following limits broggio14 ; Wang:2014sda ,
[TABLE]
We will appropriately choose the value of and depending on the charged Higgs mass to satisfy these conditions.
3.2 Muon anomalous magnetic moment
The muon anomalous magnetic moment is a long standing puzzle with disagreement between the SM prediction and the experimental determination. The recent estimate of theoretical Keshavarzi:2018mgv and experimental bnl value for is:
[TABLE]
This gives us a deviation:
[TABLE]
The Fermilab Muon experiment (E989) is aiming to measure with a relative uncertainty of 140 ppb which has the potential to confirm the discrepancy with a significance fermilab assuming that the central values of and remain the same. In the CP-conserving type-X 2HDM, such a deviation can be explained by enhanced contribution coming from the two loop Barr-Zee diagram for large and low pseudoscalar mass. In the presence of CP violation, there will be extra contributions from the CPV Yukawa couplings. However the additional contribution is negligible as we will see that the EDM bound strongly suppresses the CPV coupling ().
3.3 Electron electric dipole moment
EDMs are very sensitive probes of new physics that contains CP-violating phases. In our model the complex quartic coupling in the Higgs sector results in CP violating phases in Yukawa couplings as shown in Eq. 19. Note that electron EDM can come from both one loop and two loop diagrams. Contribution from 1-loop diagrams is induced by the neutral Higgs bosons or the charged Higgs. This contribution is proportional to the third power of the electron Yukawa coupling and is negligible. The other contribution originates from the so called Barr-Zee diagrams as shown in Fig. 1. This might provide sizable EDM since they are proportional to one power of the electron Yukawa coupling.
The effective dipole-moment operator can be written as
[TABLE]
where we have used the Higgs vacuum expectation value GeV as the cut-off scale for new physics. We have summarized all the 2-loop contributions to the coefficient to compute the EDM in Appendix A.
The current upper bound on electron EDM is reported by the ACME Collaboration Andreev:2018ayy :
[TABLE]
at 90% confidence level. We will use this value to constrain the amount of CPV allowed in this model.
3.4 Lepton universality constraints
The test of the lepton universality has been evaluated from decay and decays at the level of ALEPH:2005ab ; Amhis:2016xyh . In the type-X 2HDM, large loop corrections to the lepton universality can arise due to the enhanced leptonic couplings of extra Higgs bosons at large . Such effects were well studied in Refs. Denner:1991ie ; Krawczyk:2004na ; jinsu16 .
Let us first consider the test of the lepton universality by SLD and LEP experimental data ALEPH:2005ab . The obtained Z-decay data can be converted into the leptonic branching ratios which are given by
[TABLE]
with a positive correlation of . For each lepton flavor, we can calculate different quantities which can be parameterized as
[TABLE]
In the limit of large with , the correction on only exists.
The other lepton universality test taken by HFAG has been measured through the pure leptonic and semi-hadronic decay processes Amhis:2016xyh :
[TABLE]
with the correlation matrix
[TABLE]
In the large limit of the type-X 2HDM, two crucial corrections to decays can arise. One correction comes from the tree-level contribution of the heavy charged Higgs boson and the other stems from the one-loop corrections of the extra Higgs bosons.
Following the analysis in Ref. jinsu16 , we calculate the theoretical bounds on the lepton universality.
4 Results
We are now ready to discuss how the parameter space of type-X 2HDM is limited by the constraints described in the previous section. To satisfy the electroweak precision observable like isospin violation we assume degeneracy between the heavy scalar and the charged Higgs mass keeping free.
In Fig. 2 we depict absolute contribution to electron EDM coming from different BZ diagrams in this model for both RS (left panel) and WS scenario(right panel). We have fixed GeV, GeV and . The total contribution is shown in black curve where dominant contribution is coming from a light mediated diagram with an internal photon line and a tau loop as shown in top left panel of Fig. 1. This is due to the fact that is light and its coupling to leptons is enhanced. Contribution coming from the heavy scalar, is suppressed due to its mass, whereas contributions originate from the BZ diagrams with an internal boson are order of magnitude small since boson is heavy and the vector coupling is small. The diagrams, as shown in lower panel of Fig. 1 yield sub dominant contributions since both and are relatively heavy. The SM Higgs contribution comes from which is proportional to . Hence the SM Higgs contribution goes as in RS(WS) scenario for large . However, for RS scenario there is no dependence since the dominant contribution is generated by the coupling which is proportional to (see Table 1) and cancels the dependency. The dependency in WS limit is obvious. The contribution remains sub dominant due to absence of any enhancement in the SM Higgs mediated BZ diagrams. Since we have plotted the absolute value of EDM, the spike appears when contribution from a particular diagram changes sign. The purple horizontal bar depicts the present limit on EDM as reported by the ACME Collaboration.
In plane we present our main result where we show the parameter space compatible with , electron EDM and lepton universality constraints coming from and decay measurements. In Fig. 3(a) the light and dark brown region can explain the present anomaly (Eq. 25) at and respectively. The region in green(yellow) depicts parameter space which will be able the explain the anomaly at after full Fermilab data assuming that the central values remain the same. The parameter space right or below to the dark blue and orange lines are allowed at by lepton universality in decays and decays. The constraints coming from the electron EDM is shown by the red and purple curves which depends on the value of CPV coupling . For a given , along the red or purple curve the electron EDM is e-cm and anything right to that curve is allowed by the present EDM limit. For a light the BZ contribution is very large and consequently a very small CPV coupling is allowed. On the other hand when is relatively heavy, say 150 GeV then relatively large is allowed. Similarly for large the EDM contribution enhanced by and for a given if we increase the limit on CPV coupling becomes stronger. The red(purple) curves in Fig. 3(a) are the EDM constraints for WS (RS) Yukawa limit since for GeV both the RS and WS Yukawa couplings are allowed. The vertical gray bar in Fig. 3 depicts the region where and the the SM Higgs becomes degenerate and the approximate expressions for mixing angles as in Eq. 2.1 breaks down. In Fig. 3(b),(c) we have shown the allowed parameter space for and 400 GeV and for simplicity the future Fermilab limit is not shown. The light(dark) brown region explain the present anomaly at 2 (1 ). As we increase the mixing angle decreases(see Eq. 2.1) and comparatively large is allowed for a given and . Note that for GeV, RS Yukawa couplings are disfavored because they cannot satisfy the perturbativity and vacuum stability bounds as in Eq. 22. Hence for heavier we have only WS Yukawa limit.
5 Conclusion and remarks
We explored the parameter space of the CP violating type-X 2HDM in which sizable enhancement of electric and magnetic moment of leptons can arise through two-loop Barr-Zee diagrams. Figure 3 summarizes our main results on the limits from the muon , electron EDM, and lepton universality determinations in the plane of . For this, we imposed the theoretical constraints of vacuum stability and perturbativity, and assumed degenerate masses for the charged Higgs boson and the heaviest neutral Higgs boson to be consistent with the electroweak precision test.
Let us remark that the region explaining the muon anomaly is more tightly constrained by the lepton universality conditions compared with the previous studies, e.g., in jinsu16 . This is because we used the new theoretical value Keshavarzi:2018mgv which increased the deviation a bit (Eq. 25). Future collider experiments improving the precision of lepton universality would be useful to test the type-X 2HDM as an explanation to the muon deviation. In the parameter region explaining the muon anomaly, the electron EDM is also enhanced and thus one can see that the CPV quartic coupling has to be smaller than about a few times to be compatible with the muon explanation.
