Abstract

We confront the two-Higgs-doublet model with a variety of experimental constraints as well as theoretical consistency conditions. The most constraining data are the B\ensuremath→Xs\ensuremathγ decay rate (at low values of M_H^\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi), and \ensuremathΔ\ensuremathρ (at both low and high M_H^\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi). We also take into account the BB oscillation rate and Rb, or the width \ensuremathΓ(Z\ensuremath→bb) (both of which restrict the model at low values of tan\ensuremathβ), and the B^\ensuremath-\ensuremath→\ensuremathτ\ensuremathν_\ensuremathτ decay rate, which restricts the model at high tan\ensuremathβ and low M_H^\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi. Furthermore, the LEP2 nondiscovery of a light, neutral-Higgs boson is considered, as well as the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Since perturbative unitarity excludes high values of tan\ensuremathβ, the model turns out to be very constrained. We outline the remaining allowed regions in the tan\ensuremathβ-M_H^\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi plane for different values of the masses of the two lightest neutral-Higgs bosons, and describe some of their properties.
