如果没有发现新的物理信号,则在未来几年中,大型强子对撞机Run-2将会提高希格斯耦合测量的精度,从而将讨论转移到更高阶校正的效果上。 在超越标准模型(BSM)的理论中,这可能成为探究新物理学的唯一工具。 具有多个标量单峰的标准模型(SM)的扩展可能会解决其几个问题,即解释暗物质,物质-反物质不对称性或提高SM直至Planck尺度的稳定性。 在这项工作中,我们提出了一个通用框架,用于计算带有任意数量的标量单重态的BSM模型的传播器和标量场真空期望值的环路校正。 然后,我们将我们的方法应用于真实和复杂的标量单线态模型。 我们首先通过对树级混合和约束进行计算,然后对主要希格斯生产过程gg→H进行计算,来评估单环辐射校正的重要性。 我们得出结论,对于这些模型当前允许的参数空间,校正最多可以为百分之几。 值得注意的是,当存在暗物质时,在希格斯耦合至其他SM粒子的类似SM的极限中,非零校正可以幸免。

Abstract: If no new physics signals are found, in the coming years, at the Large Hadron
Collider Run-2, an increase in precision of the Higgs couplings measurements will shift the
discussion to the effects of higher order corrections. In Beyond the Standard Model (BSM)
theories this may become the only tool to probe new physics. Extensions of the Standard
Model (SM) with several scalar singlets may address several of its problems, namely to
explain dark matter, the matter-antimatter asymmetry, or to improve the stability of the
SM up to the Planck scale. In this work we propose a general framework to calculate one
loop-corrections to the propagators and to the scalar field vacuum expectation values of
BSM models with an arbitrary number of scalar singlets. We then apply our method to
a real and to a complex scalar singlet models. We assess the importance of the one-loop
radiative corrections first by computing them for a tree level mixing sum constraint, and
then for the main Higgs production process gg → H. We conclude that, for the currently
allowed parameter space of these models, the corrections can be at most a few percent.
Notably, a non-zero correction can survive when dark matter is present, in the SM-like
limit of the Higgs couplings to other SM particles.

1 Introduction
With the start of Run 2, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has entered the stage
of precision measurements of the Higgs couplings to the Standard Model (SM) particles.
Even though the particle physics community is focused on the search for direct signals
of beyond the SM (BSM) physics, it may happen that no such signal is detected during
Run 2. If this is the case, we need to take advantage of the precise determination of the
relevant Higgs couplings to understand if any new physics contributions can be hidden
behind those measurements. Scalar extensions of the SM have, in most cases, a decoupling
limit where, if the new scalar states are heavy enough, the model can only be probed via

radiative corrections. In fact, if we are faced with a situation where no direct hint of new
physics is found, manifestations of BSM physics can only appear through deviations in the
measured Higgs couplings.
In this work we will focus on extensions of the SM where an arbitrary number of singlets
is added to the SM field content. These are the simplest extensions of the scalar sector
1
that
introduce a dark matter candidate [2–17]. These models also allow for a strong first-order
phase transition during the era of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB) if the extension
comprises at least two singlets [18–22]. Hence, at least two of the outstanding problems of
the SM can be solved within the framework of these models, namely a candidate for dark
matter and a solution to the matter antimatter asymmetry via electroweak baryogenesis. It
should be noted that extensions with only one dark scalar singlet are basically excluded by
the latest LUX results [23] when combined with the requirement that the dark matter relic
density of the model matches the one obtained from the Cosmic Microwave background
data. We have verified that this is not the case when at least two new singlets are added
to the SM, one of them being dark and the other mixing with the SM-like Higgs.
If the LHC indeed does not find strong signs of new physics, such as new particle
states, the scale for such new physics may be as large as the GUT or the Planck scales.
This energy is unattainable by any current or planned collider experiments so we may have
to work in a framework that is a good description of the fundamental interactions up to
some high energy scale. Thus, any effective description that improves theoretical problems
of the SM is an interesting candidate. In a previous work we have shown that the complex
singlet extension of the SM also improves the stability of the SM. In fact, the presence of
a heavier scalar state, which has to be heavier than about 140 GeV, can stabilise the SM
up to the Planck scale [24].
In this article we focus on the issue of determining electroweak (EW) radiative correc-
tions in general scalar SM extensions, with emphasis on the scalar singlet models frame-
work. Our main goal is to find a general set of expressions that allow us to obtain next to
leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to the parameters of a model with any number
of scalar singlet fields. We will go beyond the effective potential approach recently studied
in [25], which is valid only when the new degrees of freedom are heavy. Thus, though we
formulate our results to connect to that limit, they are valid for any external momentum
scale (contrarily to the effective potential approximation which is valid for small external
momenta). In our framework we obtain a set of conditions consistently truncated in an
expansion in powers of ~ which, once a number of consistent independent input parame-
ters are chosen, deliver the NLO EW corrections for the remaining parameters. A special
attention is given to the treatment of tadpoles and propagators and we provide a generic
strategy to easily transform between different schemes. In connection with the effective
potential approximation we also discuss, on general grounds, the issue of infrared diver-
gences. We then apply our method to the real scalar singlet extension (RxSM) and to the
complex scalar singlet extension (CxSM) of the SM. However, we note that the method
is ready to be applied to SM extensions with an arbitrary number of singlet fields and

that many of our formulas are also useful for other scalar extensions of the SM. In par-
ticular, our approach is especially suited for the automation of the computation of higher
order corrections in general purpose numerical tools to scan the parameter space of scalar
extensions of the SM [26, 27].
Higher order corrections to real singlet extensions of the SM have been performed
in [28–30]. The corrections to the SM-like Higgs coupling to fermions and gauge bosons
was shown to be of the order of 1% [28]. Furthermore the corrections were maximal in the
decoupling limit where the model becomes indistinguishable from the SM. Electroweak
corrections to the decay H → hh were performed in [29]. With the main theoretical
and experimental constraints taken into account, it was shown that corrections to the
triple scalar vertex (Hhh) are of the order of a few percent. In [30] NLO corrections to the
electroweak precision parameter ∆r were computed and confronted with the W-boson mass
measurement. Calculations of higher order corrections in the complex singlet extension of
the SM are still not available. With this work we will not only present a set of equations
to renormalise the parameters of the theory at one loop but we will then also use them
to calculate the electroweak corrections to Higgs production via gluon fusion. This last
calculation is performed near the decoupling limit with the main purpose to understand
the contributions of the triple scalar couplings of the various scalars running in the loops
at NLO. Clearly, with all the SM-like Higgs coupling close to the SM ones, the only large
effects in the radiative corrections would have to come from such scalar-scalar interactions.
The numerical analysis in our examples will be performed for three particular cases: the
broken RxSM, with a new Higgs boson mixing with the SM-like one, and the broken and
symmetric CxSM with, respectively, three mixing Higgs bosons, and two mixing Higgs
bosons and a dark matter scalar. We will find that, consistently with earlier calculations
for the NLO corrections to the decays, the corrections are very small, of the order of a few
percent, also for production. Nevertheless, we will find that the presence of a dark matter
particle can enhance the corrections, even very close to the SM-like limit, compared with
the other models (though still in the few percent order).
The smallness of the electroweak corrections in the real singlet models calls for prudence
in the claims of measurable differences relative to SM Higgs couplings. The interference
effects for this kind of BSM scenarios was first addressed in [31] for the real singlet model,
showing that interference effects to gg → h
∗
, H
(∗)
→ ZZ → 4l can be important away
from the non-SM scalar (H) peak region. Although the interference effects can be of up to
order O(1) for the integrated cross sections for the 8 TeV LHC [32], judicious kinematical
cuts can reduce the interference effects to O(10%). Interference effects at NLO QCD were
discussed in [33] for the process gg → h
∗
, H
(∗)
→ hh. It was shown that the double Higgs
invariant mass can increase by up to 20% or decrease by up to 30% depending of the heavier
Higgs mass. More importantly, interference effects can significantly distort the kinematic
distribution around the resonant peak of the heavy Higgs. Recently the effects of higher
order operators in the real singlet model [34] again showed that large cancellations can
occur due to interference effects between the two sectors. In conclusion, if a significant
deviation is found in Higgs couplings, the radiative corrections have to be combined with
the interference for a proper interpretation of the results.

The structure of the paper is as follows. In the first two sections we start by defining
our strategy. We present the Lagrangians and fix the notation in section 2 and then, in
section 3, we obtain our master linear system that, given a choice of input parameters,
provides as output the remaining renormalised parameters at NLO EW. The issue of
infrared divergences in connection with the effective potential approximation is discussed
in sections 3.1 and 3.2. In section 4 we apply the procedure first to a general class of scalar
singlet extensions of the SM and then specialise to the RxSM and to the CxSM, section 4.4,
for which we provide a numerical analysis in section 4.5. Our conclusions are summed up
in section 5 and several useful formulae/derivations are provided in the appendices.
2 Definitions and notation
To define a general four dimensional gauged Quantum Field Theory (QFT) Lagrangian
we use the notation of [35] with a few adaptations [24, 25]. We assume a decomposition
of a general renormalisable Lagrangian where the gauge basis fields are such that: i) all
scalar field multiplets are decomposed as N
0
canonically normalised real scalar fields, Φ
i
(i = 1, . . . , N
0
), ii) all fermion multiplets are decomposed as a set of N
1/2
two-component
Weyl fermions, Ψ
I
(I = 1, . . . , N
1/2
) and iii) there are N
1
gauge bosons in the adjoint
representation of the gauge group, i.e. A
µ
a
(a = 1, . . . , N
1
). We adopt the Einstein con-
vention where repeated indices which are one up (superscript) and one down (subscript)
are summed over. If the repeated indices are both down or both up they are not summed
over. All (non-spacetime) latin indices are assumed to be in Euclidean space — they are
lowered and raised with the identity matrix. The gauge basis interaction Lagrangian (i.e.
suppressing kinetic terms) is then composed of the following terms:
