Abstract

Updated LHC data on the new 126 GeV boson during the 7 and 8 TeV runnings strengthen the standard model Higgs boson interpretation further. Through the global χ2\chi^2 analysis, we investigate whether the new particle could be one of the scalar particles in two Higgs doublet models. Four types (Type I, II, X and Y) are comprehensively studied. Taking the recent analysis on the spin-parity of the new boson, we consider two scenarios: the new boson is either the light CP-even one (h0h^0) or the heavy CP-even one (H0H^0). It is found that both scenarios are consistent with the new data, not only in the parameter regions near the decoupling limit but also in other regions far from the decoupling limit. In addition, the current data are compatible with the possibility that the light Higgs boson h0h^0 is hidden in the mass window of 90-100 GeV. The diphoton or ττ\tau\tau channel can provide a probe of this possibility by the enhanced signal rates.
