Status of MSSM Higgs Sector using Global Analysis and Direct Search Bounds, and Future Prospects at the HL-LHC

Understand

In this paper, we search for the regions of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) parameter space where one can expect to have moderate Higgs mixing angle ($\alpha$) with relatively light (up to 600 GeV) additional Higgses after satisfying the current LHC data.

• We perform a global fit analysis using most updated data (till December 2014) from the LHC and Tevatron experiments.
• The constraints coming from the precision measurements of the rare b-decays $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $b\to s \gamma$ are also considered.
• We find that low $M_{A}$ $(\lesssim 350)$ and high $\tan\beta$ $(\gtrsim 25)$ regions are disfavored by the combined effect of the global analysis and flavour data.
