4 K. Cheung 4 Various approaches to the Little hierarchy problem Little Higgs models (Arkani et al., with T parity (Cheng, Low Twin Higgs models (Chacko et al. Reducing the h b b branching ratio, or the ZZh couplings, such that the LEPII production rate is reduced. To evade the LEP II bound. Add singlets to MSSM NMSSM or other variants. By reducing the RGE effects on m 2 H, µ, B terms (e.g., mixed modulus-anomaly mediation, K. Choi et al.

5 K. Cheung 5 Motivations for NMSSM 1. Relieve the fine tuning in the little hierarchy problem (Dermisek and Gunion Additional decay modes available to the Higgs boson such that the LEP bound could be evaded. 3. A natural solution to the µ problem. 4. More particle contents in the Higgs sector and in the neutralino sector. Here we are interested in a decouple scenario the extra pseudoscalar boson entirely decouples from the MSSM pseudoscalar.

6 K. Cheung 6 Fine Tuning of NMSSM (Dermisek,Gunion : dominance of h 1 A 1 A 1, : m h1 > 114 GeV (evade the LEP constraint F = Max a d log m Z d log a, a = µ, B µ,...

7 K. Cheung 7 The NMSSM Superpotential Superpotential: W = h u ˆQ Ĥ u Û c h d ˆQ Ĥ d ˆDc h e ˆL Ĥ d Ê c + λŝ Ĥu Ĥd κ Ŝ3. When the scalar field S develops a VEV S = v s / 2, the µ term is generated µ eff = λ v s 2 Note that the W has a discrete Z 3 symmetry, which is used to avoid the Ŝ and Ŝ2 terms. The Z 3 symmetry may cause domain-wall problem, which can be solved by introducing nonrenormalizable operators at the Planck scale to break the Z 3 symmetry through the harmless tadpoles that they generate.

8 K. Cheung 8 Higgs Sector Higgs fields: ( ( H u = H + u, H d = H 0 d, S.

9 K. Cheung 9 In the electroweak symmetry, the Higgs fields take on VEV: H d = 1 2 ( vd 0, H u = 1 2 ( 0 v u, S = 1 2 v s Then the mass terms for the Higgs fields are: V = ( H + d H+ u M 2 charged ( (ImH 0 d ImH0 u ImS (ReH 0 d ReH0 u ReS H d H u M 2 pseudo M 2 scalar ImH0 d ImH 0 u ImS ReH0 d ReH 0 u ReS

10 K. Cheung 10 We rotate the charged fields and the scalar fields by the angle β to project out the Goldstone modes. We are left with V mass = m 2 H ± H + H (P 1 where M 2 P 11 = M 2 A, P 2 M 2 P M 2 P 12 = M 2 P 21 = 1 2 cot β s ( P P 2 2 (S 1 S 2 S 3 M 2 S ( M 2 A sin 2β 3λκv2 s M 2 P 22 = 1 4 sin 2β cot2 β s (M 2 A sin 2β + 3λκv2 s, 3 2 κa κ v s, S 1 S 2 S 3 with M 2 A = λv s sin 2β ( 2Aλ + κv s The charged Higgs mass: M 2 H ± = M 2 A + M 2 W 1 2 λ2 v 2

11 K. Cheung 11 Pseudoscalar Higgs bosons The pseudoscalar fields, P i (i = 1, 2, is further rotated to mass basis A 1 and A 2, through a mixing angle: ( A 2 A 1 = ( ( cos θ A sin θ A P 1 P 2 with tan θ A = M 2 P 12 M 2 P 11 m2 A 1 = 1 2 cot β s M 2 A sin 2β 3λκv2 s M 2 A m2 A 1 In large tan β and large M A, the tree-level pseudoscalar masses become m 2 A 2 M 2 A ( cot2 β s sin 2 2β, m 2 A κv s A κ

12 K. Cheung 12 Small m A1 and tiny mixing θ A A very light m A1 is possible if κ 0 and/or A κ 0 while keeping v s large enough. It is made possible by a PQ-type symmetry. Also, tan θ A in the limit of small m A1 becomes θ A tan θ A 1 2 cot β s sin 2β v v s tan β For a sufficiently large tan β and v s we can achieve θ A < 10 3.

13 K. Cheung 13 Parameters of NMSSM Parameters in addition to MSSM: We trade We also trade λ, κ (in the superpotential A λ, A κ (in V soft v s λ, v s λ, µ eff because λv s / 2 = µ κ, A λ, A κ M 2 A, M 2 A 1, θ A Therefore, we use the following inputs: µ, M 2 A 1, θ A, M 2 A µ determines the chargino sector, M 2 A 1 and θ A directly determines the decay and production of A 1.

25 K. Cheung 25 Production: H A 1 A 1 Even in the zero-mixing limit, the A 1 can still couple to the Higgs boson via λa λ SH u H d term. So A 1 can be produced in the decay of the Higgs boson (Dermisek,Gunion 2005; Dobrescu, Landsberg, Matchev 2001 h A 1 A 1 4γ, 4τ Since A 1 is very light and so energetic that the two photons are very collimated. It may be difficult to resolve them. Effectively, like h γγ. If the mixing angle is larger than 10 3 and A 1 is heavier than a few GeV, it can decay into τ + τ. Thus, 4τs in the final state (Graham, Pierce, Wacker 2006.

26 K. Cheung 26 Associated production with a pair of charginos χ + 1 χ + 1 γ, Z A 1 γ, Z A 1 χ 1 χ 1 We consider the associated production of A 1 with a chargino pair. The A 1 radiates off the chargino leg and so will be less energetic. The two photons from A 1 decay is easier to be resolved. The charginos can decay into a charged lepton or a pair of jets plus missing energy. Therefore, the final state can be 2 charged leptons + a pair of photons + E T A charged lepton + 2 jets + a pair of photons + E T 4 jets + a pair of photons The leptonic branching ratio can be large if ν or l is light.

27 K. Cheung 27 Rate dependence In the zero-mixing limit, the size of χ + 1 -A 1 coupling: λ 2 cos θ A U 12 V 12 It implies a larger higgsino component of χ + 1 section. We choose can enhance the cross µ = 150 GeV M 2 = 500 GeV The other parameters are λ = 1, sin θ A = 10 4, tan β = 10 Little dependence on tan β and sin θ A as long as it is small.

30 K. Cheung 30 Resolving the two photons The crucial part is to resolve the γγ pair from A 1 decay, otherwise it would look a single photon. We impose p Tγ > 10 GeV η γ < 2.6 which are in accord with the ECAL of the CMS detector The preshower detector of the ECAL has a strong resolution to resolve the γγ pair. It is intended to separate the background π 0 γγ decay from the H γγ. It has a resolution as good as 6.9 mrad Then we look at the angular separation of the two photons

33 K. Cheung 33 Conclusions 1. NMSSM can have a very light pseudoscalar Higgs boson, which has very small mixing with the MSSM pseudoscalar. 2. Such a light A 1 may be hidden in the Higgs decay h A 1 A 1 such that the LEP bound on the Higgs is evaded. 3. It can survive the constraints from K and B decays, such as b sa 1, B s µ + µ, B B mixing, Υ A 1 γ by taking the mixing angle θ A Associated production of A 1 with a chargino or a neutralino pair can reveal the A 1 even in the zero mixing. 5. The signature can be: 2l + 2γ+ E T. The event rates are sizable for detectability.
