Abstract

The absence of any signal of supersymmetry (SUSY) at the LHC has raised the SUSY particle mass scale compared to ZZ boson mass MZM_Z. We investigate the naturalness of the electroweak symmetry breaking after considering radiative symmetry breaking along with 125 GeV Higgs mass. We find that the important quantity to measure the naturalness of the hierarchy between the SUSY scale and MZM_Z is the separation between the radiative symmetry breaking scale, i.e., where mHu2+μ2m_{H_u}^2+\mu^2 turns negative for large tanβ\tan\beta case (μ\mu is the Higgsino mass and mHum_{H_u} is the SUSY breaking up-type Higgs boson mass) and the average stop mass. Using this measure, one can show that the electroweak symmetry breaking can be natural even if μ\mu is large contrary to the prevailing claim that μ\mu is needed to be small to maintain the naturalness.
