Higgs Sector of Non-minimal Supersymmetric Models at Future Hadron Colliders

TL;DR

This paper explores how future hadron colliders can distinguish the Higgs sector structure in non-minimal supersymmetric models with an extra singlet, focusing on the detectability of singlet-dominated Higgs states.

Contribution

It provides an analysis of collider prospects for identifying singlet-dominated Higgs bosons in non-minimal supersymmetric models with specific assumptions.

Findings

Small mixing angles between doublet and singlet Higgs states.

Potential to detect at least one singlet-like Higgs at Tevatron and LHC.

Doublet Higgs sector similar to MSSM.

Abstract

We investigate the potential of current and planned hadron colliders operating at the TeV scale in disentangling the structure of the Higgs sector of non-minimal Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with an extra gauge singlet. We assume universality of the soft Supersymmetry breaking terms at the GUT scale as well as a CP-even Higgs boson with mass around 115 GeV, as suggested by LEP. We find that mixing angles between the doublet and singlet Higgs states are always small. However, concrete prospects exist at both the Tevatron (Run II) and the Large Hadron Collider of detecting at least one neutral Higgs state with a dominant singlet component, in addition to those available from a doublet Higgs sector which is similar to the one of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
