Abstract

We present the currently most precise predictions for the WW-boson mass and the leptonic effective mixing angle sin2θeff\sin^2\theta_{\text{eff}} in the aligned Two-Higgs-Doublet Model. The evaluation includes the full one-loop result, all known higher-order corrections of the Standard Model, and the non-standard two-loop contributions that increase with mass splittings between charged and neutral THDM Higgs bosons. They depend on tanβ\tan\beta and the soft Z2Z_2-symmetry breakingparameter m122m_{12}^2 of the scalar potential, in addition to the non-standard boson masses. Whenever the one-loop corrections become large, the two-loop contributions yield substantial modifications of the predictions, which is of particular importance for the WW mass where large mass shifts are required to reach the recently published final resultof the CDF collaboration. Numerical results are shown for the dependence on the various non-standard parameters and in comparison with experimental data.
