Electroweak Phase Transition and Higgs Self-couplings in the Two-Higgs-doublet Model
Seung Woo Ham, S. K. Oh · Journal of the Korean Physical Society · 2010
We calculate both the cubic and the quartic self-couplings of the lighter scalar Higgs boson without assuming the decoupling limit in the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM). In some regions of parameter space of the THDM where the electroweak phase transition is strongly first order, it is possible that the quartic self-coupling of the lighter scalar Higgs boson might be deviated by at least 40 % from the standard model prediction.
