On Higgs Decays, Baryon Number Violation, and SUSY at the LHC

Understand

Baryon number violating interactions could modify the signatures of supersymmetric models at the Large Hadron Collider.

• In this article we investigate the predictions for the Higgs mass and the Higgs decays in a simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model where the local baryon and lepton numbers are spontaneously broken at the TeV scale.
• This theory predicts baryon number violation at the low scale which can change the current LHC bounds on the supersymmetric spectrum.
• Using the ATLAS and CMS bounds on the Higgs mass we show the constraints on the sfermion masses, and show the subsequent predictions for the radiative Higgs decays.
