On the discovery potential of the lightest MSSM Higgs Boson at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
Production of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson h is studied at the LHC. Isorate contours for the h → γγ and h → ττ decay channels are shown in the (mA, tanβ) parameter space. Effects of the SUSY parameters, in particular the stop mixing and stop quark mass, are investigated. Search strategies at the LHC are discussed and the discovery potential is calculated for the CMS experiment. The MSSM parameter space for mA > ∼ 150-200 GeV/c is expected to be covered with at least one decay channel with an integrated luminosity of 60 fb. A light stop quark with large stop mixing can affect seriously the discovery potential in the h → γγ and h → ZZ decay channels.

متن کاملMSSM Higgs Boson Searches at the Tevatron and the LHC: Impact of Different Benchmark Scenarios
The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. The current limits from the Tevatron and the prospective sensitivities at the LHC are often interpreted in specific MSSM scenarios. For heavy Higgs boson production and subsequent decay into bb̄ or ττ, the present Tevatron data allow to set limits in the MA–tan β plane for small MA and large tanβ ...

متن کاملObservability of the Lightest CMSSM Higgs Boson at Hadron Colliders
We discuss the observability of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in the constrained MSSM (CMSSM), with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron and the LHC. We take account of the constraints on parameter space provided by LEP, the measured rate of b → sγ decay, the cosmological relic density Ωχh , and the recent measurement of gμ − 2. We normal...
متن کاملThe lightest Higgs Boson of mSUGRA, mGMSB and mAMSB at Present and Future Colliders: Observability and Precision Analyses
We investigate the physics of the lightest CP-even MSSM Higgs boson at the Tevatron, the LHC, a linear e+e− collider, a γγ collider and a μ+μ− collider. The analysis is performed in the three most prominent soft SUSY-breaking scenarios, mSUGRA, mGMSB and mAMSB. For all colliders the observability and parameter regions with suppressed production cross sections (compared to a SM Higgs boson with ...
