The one-loop impact of a dependent mass: the role of m 3 in the C2HDM

Abstract In the complex 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (C2HDM), the mass m 3 of the heaviest neutral scalar h 3 is usually chosen as a derived parameter. We investigate one-loop corrections to m 3 and their impact on decays of h 3. Very fine-tuned regions of the parameter space can be found where such corrections are large, not due to subtraction schemes, but rather due to the particular dependence of m 3 on the independent parameters. We show that even moderate corrections can have a significant impact on decays of h 3, as they may be several times enhanced by leading-order factors.
