Abstract

The μν\mu\nuSSM is a simple supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (SM) capable of predicting neutrino physics in agreement with experiment. In this paper we perform the complete one-loop renormalization of the neutral scalar sector of the μν\mu\nuSSM with one generation of right-handed neutrinos in a mixed on-shell/DR\overline{\mathrm{DR}} scheme. The renormalization procedure is discussed in detail, emphasizing conceptual differences to the minimal (MSSM) and next-to-minimal (NMSSM) supersymmetric standard model regarding the field renormalization and the treatment of non-flavor-diagonal soft mass parameters, which have their origin in the breaking of RR-parity in the μν\mu\nuSSM. We calculate the full one-loop corrections to the neutral scalar masses of the μν\mu\nuSSM. The one-loop contributions are supplemented by available MSSM higher-order corrections. We obtain numerical results for a SM-like Higgs boson mass consistent with experimental bounds. We compare our results to predictions in the NMSSM to obtain a measure for the significance of genuine μν\mu\nuSSM-like contributions. We only find minor corrections due to the smallness of the neutrino Yukawa couplings, indicating that the Higgs boson mass calculations in the μν\mu\nuSSM are at the same level of accuracy as in the NMSSM. Finally we show that the μν\mu\nuSSM can accomodate a Higgs boson that could explain an excess of γγ\gamma\gamma events at 96GeV\sim 96\, \mathrm{GeV} as reported by CMS, as well as the 2σ2\,\sigma excess of bbˉb \bar{b} events observed at LEP at a similar mass scale.
