Abstract

In this work, we investigate the parameter space of the Georgi-Machacek (GM) model, where we consider many theoretical and experimental constraints such as the perturbativity, vacuum stability, unitarity, electroweak precision tests, the Higgs di-photon decay, the Higgs total decay width and the LHC measurements of the signal strengths of the SM-like Higgs boson hh in addition to the constraints from doubly charged Higgs bosons and Drell-Yan di-photon production and the indirect constraint from the bsb\to s transition processes. We investigate also the possibility that the electroweak vacuum could be destabilized by unwanted wrong minima that may violate the CP and/or the electric charge symmetries. We found that about 40 \% of the parameter space that fulfills the above mentioned constraints; are excluded by these unwanted minima. In addition, we found that the negative searches for a heavy resonance could exclude a significant part of the viable parameter space; and future searches could exclude more regions in the parameter space.
