Higgs-Boson Benchmarks in Agreement with CDM, EWPO and BPO

TL;DR

This paper identifies MSSM benchmark planes consistent with dark matter, electroweak, and B physics data, and discusses their experimental testability at colliders like the Tevatron, LHC, and ILC.

Contribution

It introduces specific MSSM benchmark planes within the NUHM framework that align with current experimental constraints and explores their potential for collider detection.

Findings

Benchmark planes are consistent with CDM, EWPO, and BPO data.

Prospects for experimental probing at Tevatron, LHC, and ILC are analyzed.

The NUHM framework allows for flexible Higgs sector parameters.

Abstract

We explore `benchmark planes' in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) that are in agreement with the measured cold dark matter (CDM) density, electroweak precision observables (EWPO) and B physics observables (BPO). The M_A-tan_beta planes are specified assuming that gaugino masses m_{1/2}, soft trilinear supersymmetry-breaking parameters A_0 and the soft supersymmetry-breaking contributions m_0 to the squark and slepton masses are universal, but not those associated with the Higgs multiplets (the NUHM framework). We discuss the prospects for probing experimentally these benchmark surfaces at the Tevatron collider, the LHC and the ILC.
