Higgs Bosons in Heavy Supersymmetry with an Intermediate $m_A$

Understand

The minimal supersymmetric standard model leads to precise predictions of the properties of the light Higgs boson degrees of freedom that depend on only a few relevant supersymmetry breaking parameters.

• In particular, there is an upper bound on the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson, which for a supersymmetric spectrum of the order of a TeV is barely above the one of the Higgs resonance recently observed at the LHC.
• This bound can be raised by considering a heavier supersymmetric spectrum, relaxing the tension between theory and experiment.
• In a previous article, we studied the predictions for the lightest CP-even Higgs mass for large values of the scalar-top and heavy Higgs boson masses.
