Higgs decays in supersymmetric models with light neutralinos
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying its expected signatures at hadron colliders. We study the branching ratio h → χχ and determine the region in the supersymmetric parameter space where it is sizable. We have found that, in fact, the Higgs may dominantly decay into neutralino pairs. Besides, as a result of this new channel, the branching ratio into visible modes, such as h → γγ, gets suppressed.

Analysis of the Neutralino System in Two–Body Decays of Neutralinos
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the neutralinos, the spin– 1/2 Majorana superpartners of the neutral gauge and Higgs bosons, are expected to be among the light supersymmetric particles that can be produced copiously at future high–energy colliders. We analyze two–body neutralino decays into a neutralino plus a Z boson or a lightest neutral Higgs boson h, allowing the releva...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Decays to Neutralinos in Low-Scale Gauge Mediation
We study the decays of a standard model-like MSSM Higgs boson to pairs of neutralinos, each of which subsequently decays promptly to a photon and a gravitino. Such decays can arise in supersymmetric scenarios where supersymmetry breaking is mediated to us by gauge interactions with a relatively light gauge messenger sector (Mmess . 100TeV). This process gives rise to a collider signal consistin...

Neutralinos χ̃ in supersymmetric theories, the spin–1/2 Majorana–type superpartners of the U(1) and SU(2) neutral electroweak gauge bosons and SU(2) neutral Higgs bosons, are expected to be among light supersymmetric particles so that they can be produced copiously via direct pair production and/or from cascade decays of other sparticles such as sleptons at the planned Large Hadron Collider and ...
متن کاملHiggs decay signals in R - parity violating models
In supersymmetric models the lightest Higgs boson may decay with a sizable branching ratio into a pair of light neutralinos. We analyze such decays within the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation, where the neutralino itself is unstable and decays into Standard Model fermions. We show that the R-parity violating couplings induce novel Higgs decay signals ...
متن کاملImpact of the Susy Decays on the Search for the Mssm Higgs Bosons at the Lhc
In the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we discuss the impact of the decays of the neutral Higgs bosons into supersymmetric particles, charginos/neutralinos and sfermions. We show that these decay modes could be dominant, when they are kinematically accessible, thus strongly suppressing the branching ratios for the decay channels which are used to detect th...
