Abstract

Imposing the theoretical constraints from vacuum stability, unitarity and perturbativity as well as the experimental constraints from the electroweak precision data, flavor observables and the non-observation of additional Higgs at collider, we study the implications of available Higgs signals on a two-Higgs-doublet model with the alignment of the down-type quarks and charged lepton Yukawa coupling matrices. Compared to the four traditional types of two-Higgs-doublet models, the model has two additional mixing angles θd\theta_d and θl\theta_l in the down-type quark and charged lepton Yukawa interactions. We find that the mixing angle θd\theta_d can loose the constraints on sin(βα)sin(\beta-\alpha), tanβtan\beta and mH±m_{H^{\pm}} sizably. The model can provide the marginally better fit to available Higgs signals data than SM, which requires the Higgs couplings with gauge bosons, uuˉu\bar{u} and ddˉd\bar{d} to be properly suppressed, and favors (1 <\theta_d< 2, 0.5 <\theta_l< 2.2) for mh=m_h= 125.5 GeV and (0.5 <\theta_d< 2, 0.5 <\theta_l< 2.2) for mH=m_H= 125.5 GeV. However, these Higgs couplings are allowed to have sizable deviations from SM for (mh=m_h= 125.5 GeV, 125.5 mH\leq m_H\leq 128 GeV) and (125 GeV mh\leq m_h\leq 125.5 GeV, mH=m_H= 125.5 GeV).
