In a nutshell... We are able to push the SM-like Higgs mass above the LEP bound for a wide range of µ s 1TeV, tan β 10 and m t 300 GeV In the large µ s limit, singlet cannot be seen at LHC, but we expect a lighter SUSY spectrum. Small µ s and unseen at LEP. limit, lightest states are mostly singlets

Conclusions: S-MSSM provides a natural solution to the LHP. Can be extended to address recent results from Colliders. In this work we address the large forwardbackward top asymmetry reported by CDF and D0. Small µ s more promising with Λ couplings below 4π and regions where effective approach holds. Large µ s, needs both Λ 13, Λ 31. Constraints can be easily satisfied since v s is small. but... Cross section too large
