Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model generally give a theoretical upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass which may be uncomfortably close to the current experimental lower bound of $m_h$ > 114 GeV. Here we show ways in…
The neutral Higgs sector of the Minimal non Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is considered. By effective potential and R.G.E. supported method; an upper bound of the lightest Higgs is analysed. From the request of perturbativity of the…
A possible discovery of a relatively light charged Higgs boson H^+ in near future experiments, with a mass M_{H+} ~< 110 GeV, together with the present LEP2 direct limits on the chargino and neutral Higgs sectors, would disfavour the…
The LHC is already putting bounds on the Higgs mass. In this paper we use those bounds to put constrains on the MSSM parameter space coming from the fact that, in supersymmetry, the Higgs mass is a function of the masses of sparticles, and…
In the high-scale (split) MSSM, the measured Higgs mass sets an upper bound on the supersymmetric scalar mass scale MSUSY around $10^{11}$ ($10^{8}$) GeV, for $\tan\beta$ in the standard range and the central value of the top quark mass…
We show that there is a calculable upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in any supersymmetric theory that remains perturbative up to a high scale . There are no restrictions on the Higgs sector, or the gauge group or particle…
The current experimental lower bound on the Higgs mass significantly restricts the allowed parameter space in most realistic supersymmetric models, with the consequence that these models exhibit significant fine-tuning. We propose a…
We present the predictions for the mass $M_h$ of the lightest Higgs boson in models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking as a function of the SUSY-breaking scale. We include all radiative corrections up to two loops and point out that…
In type II seesaw utilized to explain the observed neutrino masses and mixings, one extends the Standard Model (SM) by introducing scalar fields which transform as a triplet under the electroweak gauge symmetry. New scalar couplings…
The discovery of a relatively heavy Standard Model (SM) -like Higgs boson challenges naturalness of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) from both Higgs and dark matter (DM) sectors. We study these two aspects in the MSSM…
We study the limits on the mass of the lightest Higgs in supersymmetric models extended with a gauge singlet when perturbative unification is required. We find that when maximum intermediate matter is added, the different evolution of the…
We revisit the standard argument to estimate the scale of new physics (NP) beyond the SM, based on the sensitivity of the Higgs mass to quadratic divergences. Although this argument is arguably naive, the corresponding estimate, Lambda_SM <…
In the presence of non-minimal gravitational coupling $ \xi H^\dagger H {\cal R}$ between the standard model (SM) Higgs doublet $H$ and the curvature scalar ${\cal R}$, the effective ultraviolet cutoff scale is given by $\Lambda_{\rm…
In this note we briefly review our recent studies on a 125 GeV Higgs and its di-photon signal rate in different low energy supersymmetric models, namely the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the next-to-minimal supersymmetric…
We present a class of supersymmetric models in which the lightest Higgs-boson mass can be as large as a few hundred GeV (200 - 300 GeV) while the successful MSSM prediction for gauge coupling unification is preserved. The theories are…
Motivated by the ATLAS and CMS discovery of a Higgs-like boson with a mass around 125 GeV, and by the need of explaining neutrino masses, we analyse the three canonical SUSY versions of the seesaw mechanism (type I, II and III) with CMSSM…
We study the implications for bounds on the top quark pole mass m_t in models with low scale supersymmetry following the discovery of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson. In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we find that m_t >= 164…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with three generations of fermions, there is a stringent upper bound on the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs h, and the mass of the charged Higgs H^+, must be close (within tens of GeV)…
In this talk the question of what is the upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs mass, m_h is addressed. This question is relevant since experimental lower bounds on m_h might implement, in the near future, exclusion of…
These lectures are a very brief introduction to low energy supersymmetry (SUSY). The approach to the construction of SUSY Lagrangians based on the superfield formalism is considered. The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is…
