Updated LHC data on the new 126 GeV boson during the 7 and 8 TeV runnings strengthen the standard model Higgs boson interpretation further. Through global χ 2 fit analysis, we investigate whether the new particle could be one of the scalar particles in two Higgs doublet models. Four types of the model (I, II, X and Y) are comprehensively studied. Considering the recent analysis on the spin-parity of the new boson, we take two scenarios: it is either the lighter CP-even one or the heavier CP-even one. It is found that the current LHC Higgs data constrain the model quite strongly. Only narrow region along the decoupling line and a separate small island are allowed in Type II, X, and Y. Type I is exceptional with much larger allowed space. We also find that the current data are compatible with the possibility that the light Higgs boson h 0 is hidden in the mass window of 90-100 GeV.
The Considering other phenomenological constraints such as flavor physics, electroweak precision data, and the LEP search for the Higgs boson, we find that the the first scenarios in Type II and Type Y models actually provide better or similarly good fit to the data than the SM. All the other models are excluded at 95% C.L..
