Abstract

We show that the Two‐Higgs‐Doublet Model (2HDM) constrained by the two‐loop‐order requirement of cancellation of quadratic divergences is consistent with the existing experimental constraints. The model allows to ameliorate the little hierarchy problem by suppressing the quadratic corrections to scalar masses and lifting the mass of the lightest Higgs boson. A strong source of CP violation emerges from the scalar potential. The cutoff originating from the naturality arguments is shifted from ∼ 0.6 TeV in the Standard Model to ≳ 6 TeV in the 2HDM, depending on the mass of the lightest scalar.
