Zh Production, a Tool to Constrain 2HDM

Since the SM Higgs boson, h, is the superposition of two unequal-mass neutral Higgs bosons in 2HDM, therefore the associated production cross section for h and Z in SM and 2HDM can be different. In this paper, the possibility of using this difference to discover or constrain 2HDM is studied. As a main result, the allowed parameter space of 2HDM type-II is found in the light of possible precise measurements from the LHC experiments. It is shown that combination of the constraints from these measurements with the previous constraints on 2HDM, from direct search and flavour physics, can rule out the main part of the 2HDM parameter space.
