Higgs and supersymmetry

Abstract

Global frequentist fits to the CMSSM and NUHM1 using the MasterCode framework predicted M h ≃119 GeV in fits incorporating the (g−2) μ constraint and ≃126 GeV without it. Recent results by ATLAS and CMS could be compatible with a Standard Model-like Higgs boson around M h ≃125 GeV. We use the previous MasterCode analysis to calculate the likelihood for a measurement of any nominal Higgs mass within the range of 115 to 130 GeV. Assuming a Higgs mass measurement at M h ≃125 GeV, we display updated global likelihood contours in the (m 0,m 1/2) and other parameter planes of the CMSSM and NUHM1, and present updated likelihood functions for mg~,mq~R, BR(B s →μ + μ −) and the spin-independent dark matter cross section σSIp. The implications of dropping (g−2) μ from the fits are also discussed. We furthermore comment on a hypothetical measurement of M h ≃119 GeV.
