NNMSSMMSSM

The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) extends the MSSM by the introduction of a singlet superfield ( )

The NMSSM naturally solves the μ-problem of the MSSM.

The Higgs sector of the NMSSM contains (three CP-even bosons h1, h2, h3 and two CP-odd higgs bosons α1, α2) and two charged higgs bosons (h ).

S


The benchmark pointsThe benchmark points

• The lightest pseudoscalar higgs boson is rather light,

and the lightest CP-even higgs has enough phase space for the decay into two pseudoscalar higgs boson , to be kinematically accessible.

• The BR for the decay is very large and this new channel is the dominant one.

• Concerning the further decay of the lightest pseudoscalars, there are two possibilities: – Either and the boson decays into a pair of b quarks

or a pair of tau leptons, leading to and final states, – or and the dominant decay mode of the boson is into

a pair of tau leptons, leading to final state.

Scenarios with are disfavored when LEP data for Z2b and Z4b final states are taken into account.

On the contrary, scenarios with are favored by the same data and can even account for 2σ excess observed in the Z2b final state in the vicinity.

The directionof the a1, of the two τ, of the two μ, of the two hadron and of the three neutrinos are then nearly parallel. The missing transverse momentum originates exclusively from the neutrinos from the decay chain of the h. The masses of the final state leptons and the a1 are neglected compared to the typical mass of h1.

ConclusionConclusion

Results of a search for NMSSM neutral Higgs to four taus productions in the channel 2mu + 2tau have been presented.

No evidence fo a NMSSM neutral Higgs signal in the proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2010 is found.
