Abstract

We study the phenomenology of the two Higgs doublet model with a real singlet scalar SS (2HDMS). The model predicts three CP-even Higgses h1,2,3h_{1,2,3}, one CP-odd A0A^0 and a pair of charged Higgs. We discuss the consistency of the 2HDMS with theoretical as well as with all available experimental data. In contrast with previous studies, we focus on the scenario where h2h_2 is the Standard Model (SM) 125 GeV Higgs, while h1h_1 is lighter than h2h_2 which may open a window for Higgs to Higgs decays. We perform an extensive scan into the parameter space of 2HDMS of type I and explore the effect of the singlet-doublet admixture. We found that a large singlet-doublet admixture is still compatible with the recent Higgs data from LHC. Moreover, we show that h1h_1 could be quasi-fermiophobic and would decay dominantly into two photons. We also study in details the consistency of the non-detected decay of h2h1h1h_2\to h_1 h_1 with LHC data followed by h1γγh_1\to \gamma \gamma which leads to four photons final state at LHC: pph2h1h14γpp\to h_2\to h_1 h_1\to 4\gamma. Using the results of null searches of multi-photons carried by the ATLAS collaboration, we have found that a large area of the parameter space is still allowed. We also demonstrate that various neutral Higgs of the 2HDMS could have several exotic decays.
