Buried Higgs

Bellazzini, Brando, Csaki, Csaba, Falkowski, Adam et al.

Understand

We present an extension of the MSSM where the dominant decay channel of the Higgs boson is a cascade decay into a four-gluon final state.

  • In this model the Higgs is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of a broken global symmetry SU(3)-> SU(2).
  • Both the global symmetry breaking and electroweak symmetry breaking are radiatively induced.
  • The global symmetry breaking pattern also implies the existence of a light (few GeV) pseudo-Goldstone boson eta which is a singlet under the standard model gauge group.
