Non-Minimal Supersymmetric Higgs Bosons at LEP2
Abstract
We discuss the discovery reach of LEP2 for the Higgs sector of a general extension of the MSSM including a single gauge singlet field. This change introduces a new quartic Higgs boson self-coupling which can increase the masses of the CP-even states, and also allows mixing between singlet and non-singlet states which can reduce the couplings of the mass eigenstates to the . The lightest CP-even Higgs boson is bounded by a parameter which takes a maximum value GeV for top mass GeV. We generalise the discussion of the bound to include the entire CP-even spectrum and show how experiment may exclude values of smaller than some . CP-even Higgs boson searches at LEP2 will be able to exclude GeV, depending on the machine parameters. We also present exclusion plots in the plane, based on an analysis of CP-even, CP-odd and charged Higgs production processes at LEP2.
