Constraining a lighter exotic scalar via same-sign top

It was shown recently that, in two Higgs doublet models without Z2 symmetry, extra Yukawa couplings such as ρtc, ρtt can fuel enough CP violation for electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). We revisit an old proposal where a pseudoscalar A0 has mass between tc¯ and tt¯ thresholds. With ρtt small, it evades...
