In search of a detectable two-higgs doublet model at the LHC.

The thesis was published by Byers, Ciara, in August 2023, University of Southampton.

Abstract:

This work presents investigations into the potential of Two-Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) and the tool that has been developed in service to these enquiries. 2HDMs propose a possible route to find the solutions needed to remedy the problems within the Standard Model, and additionally are some of the simplest possible extensions to the Higgs sector; ensuring that we have fully explored their potential seems only logical. Their simplicity has led to them being the focus of a great deal of research. The tool, Magellan, was developed in part to fulfil the requirements for DISCnet funding of the candidate. This tool aims to improve upon pre-existing methods of investigating 2HDMs, and possibly, in the future, further models. Research involving the use of so-called “data-intensive science” is a key part of this funding and the project was chosen with this in mind.
