Light Axion within the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the Higgs sector in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, emphasizing the possibility of a light CP-odd scalar (axion) in the spectrum. We compute the coupling of the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson to a pair of axions, and show that it can be large enough to modify the Higgs branching fractions, with a significant impact on the Higgs searches. We delineate the range of parameters relevant for this scenario, and also derive analytic expressions for the scalar masses and couplings in two special cases – a decoupling limit where all scalars other than the axion are heavier than the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson, and the large tanβ limit.

Solving the Gravitino Problem by Axino
In a large class of supersymmetric (SUSY) axion model the mass of axino ã (a fermionic superpartner of the axion) is predicted as mã ∼ O(1) keV. Thus, the axino is the lightest SUSY particle (LSP). We pointed out that such a light axino provides a natural solution to the gravitino problem, if the gravitino is the next LSP. We derive a constraint on the reheating temperature TR of inflation, TR ...
متن کاملThe Peccei - Quinn Axion in the Next - to - Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
We discuss the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) U (1) symmetry. When this symmetry is dynamically broken by the Higgs mechanism , the resulting pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson takes the role of an axion. Although much of the allowed parameter space for low values of the PQ scale has been ruled out, many scenarios with a PQ scale 10 9 GeV remain unteste...
متن کاملLight Charged Higgs Boson and Supersymmetry
A possible discovery of a relatively light charged Higgs bosonH in near future experiments, with a mass MH+ < ∼ 110 GeV, together with the present LEP2 direct limits on the chargino and neutral Higgs sectors, would highly disfavour the minimal supersymmetric standard model, including its frequently discussed next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension. We show that a supersymmetric origin can natu...
متن کاملA solution to the μ problem in the presence of a heavy gluino LSP
In this paper we present a solution to the μ problem in an SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified model with gauge mediated and D-term supersymmetry breaking. A Peccei-Quinn symmetry is broken at the messenger scale M ∼ 10 GeV and enables the generation of the μ term. The boundary conditions defined at M lead to a phenomenologically acceptable version of the minimal supersymmetric standard model w...
متن کاملCandidates for HyperCharge Axion in Extensions of the Standard Model
Many theoretically well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model contain heavy pseudoscalars that couple to hypercharge topological density. The cosmological dynamics of such hypercharge axions could, under certain conditions, lead to generation of a net baryon number in a sufficient amount to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. We examine the Minimal Supersymmetric Standar...
