Two Higgs doublet models with an $S_3$ symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-05-31 v2

Abstract

We study all implementations of the S3S_3 symmetry in the two Higgs doublet model with quarks, consistent with non-zero quark masses and a Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix which is not block diagonal. We study the impact of the various soft-breaking terms and vacuum expectation values, and find an interesting relation between α\alpha and β\beta. We also show that, in this minimal setting, only two types of assignments are possible: either all field sectors are in singlets or all field sectors have a doublet.
