The N2HDM is based on the CP-conserving 2HDM extended by a real scalar singlet field. Its enlarged parameter space and its fewer symmetry conditions as compared to supersymmetric models allow for an interesting phenomenology compatible with current experimental constraints, while adding to the 2HDM sector the possibility of Higgs-to-Higgs decays with three different Higgs bosons. In this paper the N2HDM is subjected to detailed scrutiny. Regarding the theoretical constraints we implement tests of tree-level perturbativity and vacuum stability. Moreover, we present, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the global minimum of the N2HDM. The model and the theoretical constraints have been implemented in ScannerS, and we provide N2HDECAY, a code based on HDECAY, for the computation of the N2HDM branching ratios and total widths including the state-of-the-art higher order QCD corrections and off-shell decays. We then perform an extensive parameter scan in the N2HDM parameter space, with all theoretical and experimental constraints applied, and analyse its allowed regions. We find that large singlet admixtures are still compatible with the Higgs data and investigate which observables will allow to restrict the singlet nature most effectively in the next runs of the LHC. Similarly to the 2HDM, the N2HDM exhibits a wrong-sign parameter regime, which will be constrained by future Higgs precision measurements.

  1. The 95 GeV Excess in Models with Two Higgs Doublets plus One Singlet: Model Distinction via Four-top Final States and Triple Higgs Couplings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the 95 GeV excess benchmarks, four-top production at HL-LHC and di-Higgs production at ILC500 can distinguish the N2HDM from the 2HDMS for pseudoscalar-mixing angles beyond a computed 'α4 limit'.

  2. TRSMScans

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    TRSMScans is an automated zoom-optimization scanner that computes maximal allowed rates for asymmetric scalar production and decay chains in the TRSM (and potentially other ScannerS models) under all theoretical and e...

  3. The electroweak precision constraints of the 2HDM+S

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Electroweak precision data impose approximate mass relations and mass-splitting upper bounds on the 2HDM+S Higgs sector, with the charged Higgs mass on one side of each relation.

  4. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.

  5. Probing new physics in the Boosted $HH \to b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma$ channel at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dedicated boosted-jet category in HH→bbγγ is projected to narrow the κ2V constraint to [-0.4, 2.6] at 95% CL and improve heavy-resonance limits by 1–2x at 308 fb⁻¹.
