Probing Minimal Supersymmetry at the LHC with the Higgs Boson Masses
L. Maiani, A. D. Polosa, V. Riquer
TL;DR
This paper explores the possibility that the Higgs boson signals at 125 GeV and a tentative bump at 320 GeV could be explained by minimal supersymmetry, analyzing the viability of this hypothesis.
Contribution
It proposes a novel interpretation of LHC Higgs data as evidence for the heavy scalar Higgs in minimal supersymmetry, including the potential for a secondary Higgs line.
Findings
The 125 GeV Higgs is consistent with the lightest Higgs in minimal supersymmetry.
The 320 GeV bump could be the heavy scalar Higgs H.
The decay channel H → b bbar is significant for heavy Higgs detection.
Abstract
ATLAS and CMS report indications of a Higgs boson at M_h 125 GeV. In addition, CMS data show a tenuous bump in the ZZ channel, at about 320 GeV. We make the bold assumption that it might be the indication of a secondary line corresponding to the heaviest scalar Higgs boson of Minimal Supersymmetry, H, and discuss the viability of this hypothesis. We discuss also the case of a heavier H, the relevance of the b bbar decay channel is underlined.
