Abstract

In the framework of type-II two-Higgs-doublet model with a singlet scalar dark matter SS, we study the dark matter observables, the electroweak phase transition, and the gravitational wave signals by such strongly first order phase transition after imposing the constraints of the LHC Higgs data. We take the heavy CP-even Higgs HH as the only portal between the dark matter and SM sectors, and find the LHC Higgs data and dark matter observables require mSm_S and mHm_H to be larger than 130 GeV and 360 GeV for mA=600m_A=600 GeV in the case of the 125 GeV Higgs with the SM-like coupling. Next, we carve out some parameter space where a strongly first order electroweak phase transition can be achieved, and find benchmark points for which the amplitudes of gravitational wave spectra reach the sensitivities of the future gravitational wave detectors.
