TL;DR
This paper explores how precision measurements of Higgs boson couplings at future colliders can indirectly detect heavy Higgs bosons in Two-Higgs-Doublet Models, reaching multi-TeV mass sensitivity.
Contribution
It demonstrates that Higgs factories can probe heavy Higgs masses beyond 5 TeV through precise Yukawa coupling measurements, especially for the charm quark.

Extended Higgs sectors can explain fermion mass hierarchies.
Abstract
We investigate the potential of precision Higgs boson coupling measurements to discover heavy Higgs bosons by performing scans of the parameter space in Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM). Our study encompasses conventional Type I and Type II models, as well as models in which Higgs couplings differ between the third generation and lighter fermion generations. The scans reveal that precision measurements at the sensitivity levels projected for Higgs factories, such as Linear Collider Facility (LCF) and the FCC-ee at CERN and the CEPC in China, are capable of probing heavy Higgs boson masses in the multi-TeV range, with sensitivity extending beyond 5 TeV in certain scenarios. In particular, the precise determination of the charm quark Yukawa coupling at Higgs factories provides a powerful test of the hypothesis that the fermion mass hierarchy arises from an extended Higgs sector with…
