Vacuum Stability Bounds in the Two-Higgs Doublet Model
Shuquan Nie, Marc Sher
Abstract
In the standard model, the requirements of vacuum stability and the validity of perturbation theory up to the unification scale force the mass of the Higgs boson to be approximately between 130 GeV and 180 GeV. We re-examine these requirements in the (non-supersymmetric) two-Higgs doublet model, in the light of the large top quark mass, and constrain the masses of the Higgs bosons in this model. It is found that the mass of the charged Higgs boson must be lighter than 150 GeV. This bound is below the lower bound in the popular model-II two-Higgs doublet model, and thus we conclude that this model cannot be valid up to the unification scale. The bounds on the neutral Higgs scalars are also discussed.
