Extended Higgs Models and a Transition to Exact Susy

TL;DR

This paper explores the implications of a potential future transition to an exactly supersymmetric universe, focusing on how Higgs models influence electroweak symmetry and matter properties in such a scenario.

Contribution

It identifies a specific Higgs model consistent with atomic and molecular stability after a transition to exact supersymmetry.

Findings

Certain Higgs structures allow electroweak symmetry breaking to persist in a susy universe

The Higgs model revealed at the LHC could determine the nature of bulk matter in a future susy world

The transition to exact susy may have observable consequences based on Higgs sector properties

Abstract

String landscape ideas and the observation of a positive vacuum energy in the current universe suggest that there could be a future transition to an exactly supersymmetric world. Atomic and molecular binding in this susy background probably require that electroweak symmetry breaking survives the transition. Among several susy higgs models that have been discussed, one stands out in this regard. Thus, the higgs structure that is revealed at the LHC could have strong consequences for the type of bulk matter that may arise in a future susy universe.
