Higgs Boson Signatures of MSSM Electroweak Baryogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) in the MSSM can account for the cosmological baryon asymmetry, but only within a restricted region of the parameter space. In particular, MSSM EWBG requires a mostly right-handed stop that is lighter than the top quark and a standard model-like light Higgs boson. In the present work we investigate the effects of the light stop on Higgs boson production and decay. Relative to the standard model Higgs boson, we find a large enhancement of the Higgs production rate through gluon fusion and a suppression of the Higgs branching fraction into photon pairs. These modifications in the properties of the Higgs boson are directly related to the effect of the light stop on the electroweak phase transition, and are large enough that they can potentially be tested at the Tevatron and the LHC.

Does LEP prefer the NMSSM ?
We study the naturalness of electroweak symmetry breaking and baryogenesis in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). Our study is motivated by the recent LEP bounds on the Higgs boson mass which severely constrains the low tan β region of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We show that the low tanβ region of the NMSSM is clearly favoured over the MSSM with reg...
متن کاملElectroweak baryogenesis and the triple Higgs boson coupling
We study collider signatures of electroweak baryogenesis in the two Higgs doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. It is found that the trilinear coupling of the lightest Higgs boson receive large quantum corrections if the electroweak phase transition is strongly first order for successful baryogenesis. In the two Higgs doublet model, the magnitude of the deviation from the...
متن کاملStop-catalyzed baryogenesis beyond the MSSM
Nonminimal supersymmetric models that predict a tree-level Higgs mass above the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) bound are well motivated by naturalness considerations. Indirect constraints on the stop sector parameters of such models are significantly relaxed compared to the MSSM; in particular, both stops can have weak-scale masses. We revisit the stop-catalyzed electroweak baryog...
متن کاملPerturbative Analysis of the Mssm Electroweak Phase Transition
Light stops can give a strong first order electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) satisfying one of the necessary conditions for electroweak baryogenesis. I discuss the region of parameter space where this occurs using a perturbative analysis of the Higgs effective potential. Two-loop QCD corrections associated with stop loops are crucial to open this ba...
متن کاملElectroweak Phase Transition and Baryogenesis
Our universe is apparently matter dominant. Although CP violation is experimentally proven, the full scenario of baryogenesis remains to be unsolved. Matter asymmetry is discussed briefly in this paper and electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is presented as one possible scenario of baryogenesis. Bounds on the Higgs boson mass for such scenario for Standard Model (SM) and Minimal Supersymmetric ...
