The underlying process that we probe is gg-initiated production of a CP-odd (or pseudoscalar) Higgs boson A, with mass around 650 GeV, decaying into the Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs state H (decaying into \gamma\gamma) and a Z boson (decaying into b\bar b). We configure this theoretical framework so as to also have in the spectrum a light CP-even (or scalar) Higgs state h with mass around 95 GeV, which is included for the purpose of simultaneously explaining additional data anomalies seen in the b\bar b, \gamma\gamma and \tau^+\tau^- final states while searching for light Higgs states at the Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider (the first one) and LHC (the last two). By accounting for both experimental and theoretical constraints, our results show that the 2HDM-I can explain all aforementioned anomalies at a significance level of 2.5 \sigma.en-USe-Print
