Deviations from the Standard Model (SM) can be parameterized in terms of the SM effective field theory (SMEFT), which is typically truncated at dimension-6. Including higher dimension operators -- as well as considering simultaneous…
The two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is the most minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) containing extra Higgs doublet fields. Given the multiplicity of Higgs states in a 2HDM, its Higgs potential is significantly more involved than the…
