Abstract

Upon the absence of signals of new physics at the LHC, a reasonable strategy is to assume that new particles are very heavy and the other model parameters are unknown yet. In the aligned two Higgs doublet model, however, heavy Higgs boson masses above 500 GeV enhance some couplings in the scalar potential, which causes a breakdown of the perturbative unitariry in general. Some tuning among model parameters is required. We find that one information on the heavy Higgs boson mass, say MHM_H, has significant theoretical implications: (i) the other heavy Higgs bosons should have similar masses to MHM_H within ±O(10)%\pm \mathcal{O}(10)\%; (ii) the inequalities from the theoretical constraints are practically reduced to an equation such that m122tanβm_{12}^2 \tan\beta is constant, where m122m_{12}^2 is the soft Z2Z_2 breaking parameter and tanβ\tan\beta is the ratio of two vacuum expectation values; (iii) the triple Higgs coupling λHHh\lambda_{HHh} is constant over tanβ\tan\beta while λHHH\lambda_{HHH} and λAAH\lambda_{AAH} are linearly proportional to tanβ\tan\beta. The double Higgs-strahlung process of e+eZHHe^+ e^- \to ZHH is also studied, of which the total cross section is almost constant with the given MHM_H.
