When Standard Model Higgs Meets Its Lighter 95 GeV Higgs

Two excesses reported recently at the LHC in the lighter Higgs mass region around 95 GeV and in the rare Z γ final state of the Standard Model (SM) 125 GeV Higgs decay are simultaneously scrutinized within the framework of minimal gauged two-Higgs-doublet model (G2HDM). Viable parameter space in G2HDM is obtained to account for both excesses. We find a strong correlation between the signal strengths of SM 125 GeV Higgs decays into γγ and Z γ modes, whereas this correlation does not extend to its lighter 95 GeV cousin.
