The Radiative Z2 Breaking Twin Higgs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-01-04 v1

Abstract

In twin Higgs model, the Higgs boson mass is protected by a Z2Z_2 symmetry. The Z2Z_2 symmetry needs to be broken either explicitly or spontaneously to obtain misalignment between electroweak and new physics vacua. We propose a novel Z2Z_2 breaking mechanism, in which the Z2Z_2 is spontaneously broken by radiative corrections to the Higgs potential. Two twin Higgses with different vacua are needed, and vacuum misalignment is realized by opposite but comparable contributions from gauge and Yukawa interactions to the potential. Due to fully radiative symmetry breaking, the Higgs sector is completely determined by twin Higgs vacuum, Yukawa and gauge couplings. There are eight pseudo-Goldstone bosons: the Higgs boson, inert doublet Higgs, and three twin scalars. We show the 125 GeV Higgs mass and constraints from Higgs coupling measurements could be satisfied.
