LHC diphoton Higgs signal and top quark forward-backward asymmetry in quasi-inert Higgs doublet model

Abstract

In the quasi-inert Higgs doublet model, we study the LHC diphoton rate for a standard model-like Higgs boson and the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron. Taking into account the constraints from the vacuum stability, unitarity, electroweak precision tests, flavor physics and the related experimental data of top quark, we find that compared with the standard model prediction, the diphoton rate of Higgs boson at LHC can be enhanced due to the light charged Higgs contributions, while the measurement of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron can be explained to within $1\sigma$ due to the non-standard model neutral Higgs bosons contributions. Finally, the correlations between the two observables are discussed.
