Description
We consider two-Higgs doublet models (THDMs) with a supersymmetric UV completion. Contrary to the Standard Model, THDMs can be embedded in high-scale supersymmetry with a SUSY breaking scale as high as the scale of grand unification. The stability of the electroweak vacuum and experimental constraints point towards low values of tan(beta) < 2 and a pseudoscalar mass of at least about a TeV. If the higgsino superpartners of the Higgs fields are also kept light, the conclusions are similar and essentially independent of the higgsino mass. However, if all gauginos are also given electroweak-scale masses (split supersymmetry with two Higgs doublets), the predicted Standard Model-like Higgs mass is always too large. Light neutral and charged higgsinos emerge as a promising signature of minimal theories with supersymmetric UV completions at high scales, and can be searched for at colliders.
