Description
The trilinear Higgs coupling is a crucial tool to determine the structure of the Higgs potential and to probe possible effects of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Focusing on a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model as a concrete example, I will discuss the calculation of the dominant two-loop corrections to the trilinear Higgs coupling, and show that this coupling can be significantly enhanced with respect to its SM prediction, in certain regions of parameter space. Taking into account all relevant corrections up to the two-loop level, I will demonstrate that the current experimental bounds on the trilinear coupling already rule out significant parts of the parameter space that would otherwise be unconstrained. Finally, I will present a benchmark scenario illustrating the interpretation of the current results and future measurement prospects.
