Flavor-Tuned 125 GeV SUSY Higgs Boson at the LHC: MSSM and NATURAL SUSY TESTS

Barger, Vernon, Huang, Peisi, Ishida, Muneyuki et al.

Understand

We show that an enhanced two-photon signal of the Higgs boson, h, observed with 125 GeV mass by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, can be obtained if it is identified principally with the neutral $H_u^0$ of the two Higgs doublets of minimal Supersymmetry.

  • We focus on sparticles and the pseudoscalar Higgs $A$ at the TeV scale.
  • The off-diagonal element of the (Hu0,Hd0) mass matrix in the flavor basis must be suppressed, and this requires both a large Higgsino mass parameter, mu \sim TeV, and large tan beta.
  • A MSSM sum rule is derived that relates gamma gamma and bb rates, and the gamma gamma enhancement predicts the bb reduction.
