Radiative corrections to Higgs coupling constants in two Higgs doublet models

Abstract

A pattern of deviations in the Standard Model (SM) like Higgs boson ($h$) couplings from their SM predictions depends on the structure of the Higgs sector and the Yukawa interaction. In particular, in Two Higgs Doublet Models (THDMs) with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, different characteristic patterns of deviation in Yukawa coupling constants ($hf\bar{f}$) can be allowed depending on four types of Yukawa interactions. We calculate $hf\bar{f}$ coupling constants at the one-loop level in all the types of THDMs. Even if there is no deviation in the $hf\bar{f}$ couplings at the tree level, they can deviate from the SM predictions by a few percent due to extra Higgs boson loop contributions. We find that if the deviations in the gauge couplings $hVV$ ($V=Z, W$) are found with an enough large to be measured at the International Linear Collider (ILC), the scale factors for the $hf\bar{f}$ couplings do not overlap among the THDMs with four types of Yukawa interactions even taking into account the radiative corrections. Therefore, in such a case, we can indirectly determine the type of the THDMs at the ILC even without information from direct searches of the additional Higgs bosons.
