Following Chankowski, Ellis and Pokorski we quantify the amount of fine-tuning of input parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model that is needed to respect the lower limits on sparticle and Higgs masses imposed by negative…
We show how leading radiative corrections can be implemented in the general description of $h\to 4\ell$ decays by means of Pseudo Observables (PO). With the inclusion of such corrections, the PO description of $h\to 4\ell$ decays can be…
