# Is the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson expected to be SM-like in the NMSSM?

## TL;DR

This paper investigates whether the 125 GeV Higgs boson observed aligns with Standard Model predictions within the NMSSM, considering potential deviations caused by mixing with additional Higgs states or new decay channels.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of possible deviations in Higgs signal strengths in the NMSSM, identifying correlated and anti-correlated deviations through extensive parameter scans.

## Key findings

- Identified regions with correlated deviations in bosonic and fermionic channels.
- Quantified the size of potential deviations from SM expectations.
- Mapped the parameter space where deviations are significant.

## Abstract

In the Next-to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) deviations from the SM signal strengths of the 125 GeV Higgs boson are expected, because of the mixing with the additional singlet-like Higgs boson and/or additional decays into pairs of light particles, like neutralinos, pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons or singlet Higgs bosons. In this paper the size of the possible deviations and their expected correlations or anti-correlations between \textit{bosonic} and \textit{fermionic} final states are analyzed using the efficient parameter scanning technique with complete coverage presented in a companion paper. The regions of parameter space with correlated or anti-correlated deviations of the signal strengths are identified.
