When the Standard Model Higgs meets its lighter 95 GeV twin

Recent reports from the Large Hadron Collider indicate two excesses: one in the lighter Higgs mass region around 95 GeV, and another in the rare Zγ final state of the Standard Model (SM) 125 GeV Higgs decay. These anomalies are analyzed within the minimal gauged two-Higgs-doublet model (G2HDM). A vi...

description Recent reports from the Large Hadron Collider indicate two excesses: one in the lighter Higgs mass region around 95 GeV, and another in the rare Zγ final state of the Standard Model (SM) 125 GeV Higgs decay. These anomalies are analyzed within the minimal gauged two-Higgs-doublet model (G2HDM). A viable parameter space in G2HDM is identified that can account for both excesses. Within the viable parameter space, we find a strong correlation between the signal strengths of the SM 125 GeV Higgs decays into γγ and Zγ modes. However, this correlation does not extend to the lighter 95 GeV Higgs.
