Spontaneous CP violation in the 2HDM: physical conditions and the alignment limit

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-12-07 v1

Abstract

For the general Two-Higgs-Doublet model, we present conditions for having spontaneous CP violation, in terms of physical masses and couplings. These relations involve the charged-Higgs mass, its cubic couplings with neutral scalars and quartic coupling, and become particularly simple in the alignment limit. In the simplified model with softly broken Z2Z_2 symmetry, some deviation from alignment is required for spontaneous CP violation to be present.
