Abstract

We review the status of the 2-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) type-II, in the light of the current experimental results and various theoretical consistency conditions. Compared to the existing literature, in this paper, we apply for the first time a new method that can improve the standard procedure for setting bounds on the 2HDM parameter space, as no experimental evidence has been found so far. Our new numerical framework, called Magellan, and statistical techniques can be applied to any beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenario. Here, we take as testing ground the 2HDM, particularly as it is physically interesting and moreover characterized by a far from trivial multidimensional parameter space where the effectiveness of the new methods can be proved. Magellan uses a Markov chain Monte Carlo technique for scanning the parameter space and leverages the use of data processing and visualisation methods, allowing the user to perform inference on the model in a complete and efficient way. The novelty of the proposed method is that the parameter space of any BSM theory can be projected onto any bidimensional plane while still retaining all underlying attributes of those points, so that it is possible to investigate the associations between the properties of the various lower dimensional subspaces of the complete parameter space. The Magellan’s website interactive dashboards can be accessed via a public link. Through this website, the user can explore the full parameter space and exploit the phenomenological features of a BSM model with ease.
