Baryogenesis in the SMSM cannot account for observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe.
Sakharov conditions: C, CP and B violation occurring out ofequilibrium. In SM:
4 B violation unsuppressed at T & EW scale.I Displacement from equilibrium could be provided by a first order
(i.e. discontinuous) EW phase transition.I To freeze out the generated
BAU inside bubble, EWPTmust be strongly first order(supercooling):

Two-Higgs-doublet model
Two-Higgs-doublet models are optimal candidates:
I One of the simplest extensions of SM:Two SU(2)L scalar doublets: Φ1 and Φ2 .
I Various heavy scalars (h0, H0, A0, H±) increase EWPT strength.I Additional source of CP violation (explicit or spontaneous).I Testable at LHC @ 14 TeV!
To avoid FCNC, impose a softly broken Z2 symmetry.

Two-Higgs-doublet modelFor simplicity, consider CP conserving case only.Small CPV phase does not have significant impact on EWPT.
Theory defined by 8 physical parameters:I v ≈ 174 GeV and µ ∼ scale of new physics.I Masses: mh0 = 125 GeV, mH0 ,mA0 ,mH± .I tanβ = 〈Φ2〉/〈Φ1〉.I α is the mixing angle between h0 and H0.
It is here defined such that α = β ⇐⇒ h0 = hSM.
Correct BAU obtained in special cases:L. Fromme, S. J. Huber and M. Seniuch, JHEP 0611 (2006) 038
Scan over parameter space, imposing:I tree-level unitarity, perturbativity (quartics < 2π);I electroweak precision observables (∆ρ most relevant);I flavour constraints (b→ sγ and B0 −B0 mixing most relevant);I collider bounds with HiggsBounds and HiggsSignals;I stability of electroweak vacuum at 1-loop up to Λ = 10 TeV.I If all constraints are passed, the point is deemed physical.

2HDM and the EWPT
We study the EWPT by looking for the minima of the 1-loop thermaleffective potential. GCD, S. J. Huber, J. M. No, JHEP 1310 (2013) 029
I EW symmetry is restored at high temperatures.I At critical temperature Tc the potential has two degenerate minima
at 0 and at vc.I Phase transition is strong when vc/Tc > 1.
SM-like h0 favoured.
As mH0 increases, strong PTrequires 〈H0〉 ∼ sin(α− β)→ 0.But for mH0 . 200 GeV,α− β ∼ 0.1π is acceptable!mA0 & 300 GeV, withmA0 & mH0 +mZ .

Phenomenological consequences
Requiring a strong PT points to a very different kind of 2HDM thanusually considered in collider analyses.
I Current heavy Higgs searches tend to be motivated by SUSY.I Mass splittings dictated by gauge couplings; do not exceed mZ .I Thus Si → ZSj channel (Si ∈ H0, A0) is closed.I H0 searches focus on H0 →WW,ZZ (not allowed for A0).I Pseudoscalar searched for in A0 → Zh0, ττ .
In our scenario, mA0 −mH0 & mZ and α ≈ β.I Points to A0 → ZH0, as coupling ∼ cos(α− β) is unsuppressed. . .I . . . while A0 → Zh0 is suppressed by sin(α− β) ≈ 0 (in alignment
limit) and due to dominance of the previous channel.I A competing channel would be W±H∓. . .I . . . but EWPO require mH± ≈ mH0 or mA0 . We pick the latter for
simplicity and close this channel (strong PT is rather indifferent tothis choice).

Conclusions and Outlook
2HDM is the simplest extension of SM, testable at LHC14 and can provide astrong first order phase transition required for EW baryogenesis.
We explored the parameter space of the model, showing that a strong PTprefers:
I a SM-like light h0;I rather heavy pseudoscalar A0 (mA0 & 300 GeV);I large mass splitting mA0 −mH0 & mZ .
This points to an exotic phenomenology, having A0 → ZH0 as a “smoking gun”signature.
Our collider analysis shows that LHC 8 TeV may already be sensitive.
At 14 TeV, potential for discovery at early stages of the run,with L = 20− 200 fb−1.
We aim at extending this first analysis:I beyond just 2 benchmark points;I considering W+H− channel, CP violation;I further investigate sensitivity of current data.
