Radovan Dermisek
TL;DR
This review discusses electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric models, focusing on the fine-tuning problem and exploring solutions involving unusual Higgs decays and soft supersymmetry breaking patterns.
Contribution
It provides an elementary overview of the fine-tuning issue in supersymmetric models and details two generic solutions involving unconventional Higgs properties and supersymmetry breaking patterns.
Findings
Models with unusual Higgs decays can reduce fine-tuning.
Unusual soft supersymmetry breaking patterns offer alternative solutions.
The tension between naturalness and Higgs mass limits is addressed.
Abstract
This review provides an elementary discussion of electroweak symmetry breaking in the minimal and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric models with the focus on the fine-tuning problem -- the tension between natural electroweak symmetry breaking and the direct search limit on the Higgs boson mass. Two generic solutions of the fine-tuning problem are discussed in detail: models with unusual Higgs decays; and models with unusual pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters.
