5. 2-Higgs-Doublet models

	Learning outcomes: Write the CP-conserving 2HDM potential and explain the constraints on the parameters. Calculate the mass eigenstates of the Higgs bosons and find out the gauge-Higgs boson interactions. Describe the Yukawa interaction Types. Explain the origin of the FCNC in the 2HDM and constraints to avoid it.
	Quiz In the Higgs Singlet models it is possible to eliminate 2 free parameters from the potential extrema conditions. In the 2HDM, how many parameters can be eliminated from those conditions and what are they? Both of the Higgs doublets have non-zero VEVs, v_1, v_2. Therefore they both contribute to the gauge boson masses. Which relation should the VEVs satisfy? The two Higgs doublets in the 2HDM have same hypercharges. By imposing Z_2 -symmetry we can regulate the fermion-Higgs doublet couplings. How many distinguishing cases are there?
