TL;DR
This paper discusses the implications of a potential 125 GeV Higgs boson detection for supersymmetric models, showing that such a discovery would significantly constrain or exclude many MSSM scenarios.
Contribution
It analyzes how a Higgs mass around 125 GeV impacts the parameter space of various MSSM models, highlighting which scenarios are excluded or restricted.
Findings
Certain MSSM scenarios are excluded by a 125 GeV Higgs.
Some MSSM parameter spaces are severely constrained.
Implications for future supersymmetry searches.
Abstract
An excess of events at a mass of ~ 125 GeV has been reported by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations using 5/fb of data. If this excess of events is confirmed by further searches with more data, it will have extremely important consequences in the context of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. We show that for a Standard Model like Higgs boson with a mass 122.5 < Mh < 127.5 GeV, several unconstrained or constrained MSSM scenarios would be excluded, while the parameters of some other scenarios would be severely restricted.
