A 125GeV Higgs Boson and Muon g-2 in More Generic Gauge Mediation

Evans, Jason L., Ibe, Masahiro, Shirai, Satoshi et al.

Understand

Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations reported exciting hints of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass around 125GeV.

  • A Higgs boson this heavy is difficult to realize in conventional models of gauge mediation.
  • Here we revisit the lightest Higgs boson mass in "more generic gauge mediation," where the Higgs doublets mix with the messenger doublets.
  • We show that a Higgs boson mass around 125GeV can be realized in more generic gauge mediation models, even for a relatively light gluino mass ~1TeV.
