Supersymmetry and Higgs Physics

• Low energy supersymmetry provides a well defined and predictive framework, in which scalars and, in particular, Higgs boson fields are naturally incorporated.

• In spite of the multiplicity of scalar fields, the Higgs is naturally the one acquiring v.e.v. due to negative corrections induced by loop corrections induced by the large top Yukawa coupling.

• The relevance of a well defined and predictive framework cannot be underestimated, and, in minimal SUSY extensions, the properties of the Higgs sector provide crucial test of low energy SUSY.

• Low energy supersymmetry has other attractive properties beyond radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, unification and a source of dark matter: Electroweak Baryogenesis, which demands

non-vanishing CP-violating phases in the SUSY breaking parameters.

Minimal Supersymmetric Extensions

• In the minimal SUSY extension, there are one charged and three neutral Higgs boson degrees of freedom.

• If CP is conserved, thre are two CP-even and one CP-odd neutral Higgs bosons.

• At tree-level, all CP-violating phases, if present, may

be absorved into a redefinition of the fields.

• CP-violation in the Higgs sector appears at the loop-level, but can still have important consequences for Higgs physics

Tree-level Higgs spectrum and properties

• The real part of the neutral component of the two Higgs doublets, H1 and H2 mix, with a mixing angle , leading to the two CP-even Higgs bosons.

• The charged and the complex part of the neutral component of two Higgs doublets lead to the Goldstone as well as the CP-odd A and charged Higgs bosons

• Ratio of Higgs vacuum expectation values, , determines the mixing angle between Goldstone modes and

physical Higgs states.

Two-loop effects

• At one loop, Higgs masses up to 150 GeV may be obtained for stop masses of order 1 TeV.

• Apart from lowering the Higgs mass by about 10--15 percent of

its tree – level value by log. corrections, an asymmetry in the Higgs

mass under change of sign of Xt appears.

• Such an asymmetry is induced by one-loop corrections to the

relation between the top-quark mass and the top Yukawa coupling, which depend on the product of Xt and the gluino mass.

• Off-diagonal elements are proportional to

• When off-diagonal elements vanish, either vanish and therefore there is a strong suppression of the coupling of

the SM-like Higgs boson to the bottom-quarks or tau-leptons.

• Particularly strong effects for .

• These effects are absent in the case of minimal or maximal mixing.

MSSM Higgs Boson Searches at Hadron Colliders

• Due to dependence on parameters, full scan is too involved

• Benchmark scenarios, that summarize most important Higgs properties, likely to have an impact on collider physics

• Production and decay channels analized :

Tevatron : W H and ZH , with H decaying to bottom quarks.

Associated production with bottom quarks, decaying to tau’s or b’s.

LHC: Weak boson fusion, with decays to taus, gammas or W’s.

Associated production with top-quarks, decaying to b’s or gammas

Gluon fusion production, with decays to gammas.

CP-Violation in Supersymmetric Models• In low energy supersymmetry, there are extra CP-violating phases

beyond the CKM ones, associated with complex supersymmetry breaking parameters.

• These phases may have an impact on low energy observables, and

induce new contributions to the e.d.m. of the electron and the neutron, and hence are cautiosly set to zero in most models.

• However, effects on observables are small in large regions of parameter space, where either first or second generation scalars are

heavy, cancellations occur or simply the relevant CP-violating phase for such a given observable vanishes.

• Effect on Higgs physics associated with third generation scalars

and/or gaugino-Higgsino sector, and it is worth studying.

Motivation for CP-Violation in SUSY Models

• One of the most important consequences of CP-violation is its possible impact on the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry.

• Electroweak baryogenesis may be realized even in the simplest supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, but demands

new sources of CP-violation associated with the third generation

sector and/or the gaugino-Higgsino sector.

• In the minimal supersymmetric model, it also demand a light and

a heavy top-squark, in order to induce a strongly first order phase

transition.

• In the nMSSM, there are no constraints on the third generation sector.

CP-Violation in the Higgs sector

• CP-violating effects absent at tree-level

• At loop-level, important CP-violating effects may be induced

• Many possible phases, but in minimal flavor violating models, due

to symmetries of conformal invariant sector, only relevant phases

where is the bilinear mass parameter in the Higgs potential.

Comments on Higgs Boson Mixing

• Elements of matrix O are similar to in the CP-conserving case. But third row and column are zero in the non-diagonal

elements in such a case.

• Couplings of the Higgs bosons to vector bosons still depend on projection of Higgs that acquires v.e.v. to the different Higgs bosons.

• Three neutral Higgs bosons can now couple to the vector bosons in a way

similar to the SM Higgs.

• Similar to the decoupling limit in the CP-conserving case, for large values

of the charged Higgs mass, light Higgs boson with Standard Model properties.

Looking for • Standard signatures not sufficient to probe the presence of Higgs

bosons decaying into lighter Higgs states.

• Lighter states have weak couplings to the weak gauge bosons, but

large couplings to third generation down quarks and leptons.

• Possibility of looking for two taus and two bottoms (jets) signatures

at LHC in the weak boson fusion production channel of two heavier Higgs bosons.

• J. Gunion, at this conference, argued that with luminosity about

300 inverse fb, the LHC will be able to detect such states.

• A detailed experimental simulation should be performed to test

this possibility.

Conclusions

• Low energy supersymmetry has an important impact on Higgs physics.

• It leads to definite predictions to the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and gauge bosons.

• Such couplings, however, are affected by radiative corrections induced by supersymmetric particle loops.

• CP-violation in low energy SUSY: Electroweak Baryogenesis.

• CP-violation in the Higgs sector is well motivated and should be studied in detail. It affects the searches for Higgs bosons at hadron and lepton colliders in an important way.

• At a minimum, it stresses the relevance of studying non-standard Higgs boson production and decay channels at lepton and hadron colliders.

Generation Process

• Interaction with Higgs background creates a net

chargino excess through CP-violating interactions

• Chargino interaction with plasma creates an excess of left-handed

anti-baryons (right-handed baryons).

• Left-handed baryon asymmetry partially converted to lepton asymmetry via anomalous processes

• Remaining baryon asymmetry diffuses into broken phase

• Diffusion equations describing these processes derived

Relevant masses and Phases

• The chargino mass matrix contains new CP violating phases

• Some of the phases may be absorved in field redefinition. For real Higgs v.e.v.’s, the phase

is physical

• Sources depend on the Higgs profile. They vanish for large values of
