Abstract

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) the existence of an upper bound on the mass of the CP=+1CP=+1 lightest Higgs boson, equal to mZm_Z at tree--level and \simlt120 GeV\simlt 120\ GeV after the inclusion of radiative corrections, has important phenomenological consequences for Higgs searches. A similar bound, independent of mass parameters other than the electroweak scale, can be calculated in supersymmetric models with an extended Higgs sector. In models with arbitrary Higgs sectors perturbative up to 1016 GeV10^{16}\ GeV, we find, including radiative corrections, mh\simlt155 GeVm_h \simlt 155\ GeV for mt\simlt190 GeVm_t \simlt 190\ GeV.
