# A Higgs Boson at 96 GeV?!

## TL;DR

This paper reviews experimental searches for a potential new Higgs boson around 96 GeV, discussing hints from CMS and LEP, and explores theoretical interpretations within BSM models like NMSSM and munuSSM.

## Contribution

It summarizes experimental hints and explores possible theoretical explanations for a new Higgs-like particle at 96 GeV within various BSM frameworks.

## Key findings

- CMS reports a diphoton excess at 96 GeV
- LEP data shows a 2 sigma hint in bb final state
- Discussion of BSM models explaining the potential signal

## Abstract

We briefly summarize some searches for Higgs bosons with a mass of m_phi <= 110 GeV at LEP and the LHC. We discuss a possible signal in the diphoton decay mode at m_phi = 96 GeV as reported by CMS, together with a 2 sigma hint in the bb final state at LEP. We briefly review possible interpretation of such a new particle in various BSM models. We focus on possible explanations as reported within the NMSSM and the munuSSM. Conclusions for future collider projects are briefly outlined.
