Viable parameter spaces for strong first-order electroweak phase transitions (SFOEWPT) were systematically analyzed under the frameworks of Types Ⅰ, X, and Y of the CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) to explain the cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry that cannot be resolved by standard models. The one-loop corrections and finite-temperature field theory approaches were introduced to calculate the effective potential. Additionally, theoretical self-consistency and current experimental constraints were comprehensively taken into account. The study revealed that abundant parameter spaces satisfying SFOEWPT and accessible to collider observations still existed in Types Ⅰ, X, and Y models.
Type Ⅰ中所有费米子均与Φ₂耦合,结构最简单;Type Ⅱ中uᴿ与Φ₂耦合,dᴿ和eᴿ则与Φ₁耦合,与最小超对称模型(MSSM)的希格斯结构一致;Type X的夸克部分与Ⅰ型相同,但轻子专属地与Φ₁耦合;Type Y则可视作Ⅱ型的轻子部分翻转为与Φ₂耦合。这种Z2对称性分配机制确保每类费米子仅耦合至单一希格斯二重态,从而在树阶彻底避免FCNC。不同模型在希格斯信号、CP破坏行为、电弱精密观测量及宇宙学现象等方面表现出具有区分度的特征,为实验鉴别提供了重要依据。
