Higgs search @LEP The direct mass bound on SM Higgs is m H > 114.4 GeV Very low reduced couplings of Z Z h and h f f can bring down the lower bound.
Status of Higgs at the LHC s CMS and ATLAS combined the results in H ZZ 4l and H γγ The combined measured mass of the Higgs boson is m H = 125.09 ± 0.21(stat) + 0.11(sys) GeV
Supersymmetry Standard Model Higgs mass is not protected by any symmetry! Supersymmetry protects the Higgs mass by giving possible cancellation. h ψ < Price: In the minimal extension, for each particle there is a super partner differing by spin 1/2.
Higgs sector in MSSM Minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM) has five Higgs bosons, h, H the CP-even neutral Higgs bosons A the CP-odd neutral Higgs bosons H ± charged Higgs bosons Including R-parity, P R = ( 1) 3(B L)+2s conservation leads to the lightest supersymmetric particle as Dark matter candidate. Lightest Higgs in MSSM While in the SM the Higgs mass is essentially a free parameter the lightest CP even Higgs particle in the MSSM is bounded from above. At tree level the lightest CP-even Higgs (h) mass, m h M Z For desired Higgs mass around 125 GeV, one has to look for quantum correction.
Higgs sector in MSSM Lightest Higgs in MSSM Depending on the SUSY parameters that enter the radiative corrections, it is restricted to values M max h M Z cos 2β + radiative corrections < 110 135 GeV SUSY particles mass and other parameters enter in the radiative correction to the Higgs sector. Observed M h 125 GeV at the LHC, would place very strong constraints on the MSSM parameters through their contributions to the radiative corrections to the Higgs sector. more
Lightest CP-even Higgs boson in MSSM more In MSSM, the main loop contributions come from the third generation strong sectors, push the mass scale > 1 TeV to up to 10 TeV depending on the models. In most constrained SUSY scenarios viz msugra, the required SUSY mass scale is > few TeV. In pmssm, < TeV SUSY scale still a possibility but with large mixing in the stop mass matrix. Fine tuning is necessary for MSSM to have lightest Higgs boson mass around 125 GeV. 125 GeV Higgs very large SUSY mass scale or/and large mixings fine tuning.
Solution! Extended Higgs sector! New scalars give additional contributions to the lightest Higgs mass so no large mixing and/or heavy sfermions needed Extended theory may solve the µ problem Possibility of spontaneous CP-violation. Options? Triplet and/or singlet extensions.

Conclusions So far we have discovered a CP-even Higgs boson around 125 GeV. All possible Standard Model modes are yet to be discovered. Possibility of hidden Higgs bosons still exists. Observation of Charged Higgs would be a direct proof of extended Higgs sector. In the extended Higgs SUSY scenarios, lighter SUSY mass scale is still a possibility. h 1 ± ZW ± could be a smoking gun signature for the triplet scenario. A very light pseudo-scalar is still a possibility with extended Higgs sector. We expect that LHC at 14 TeV will unveil few more and surprise more.

PLB708 (2012) 162-169 Only the scenarios with large X t /M S values and, in particular, those close to the maximal mixing scenario A t /M S 6 survive. The no mixing scenario is ruled out for M S < 3 TeV. The typical mixing scenario needs large M S and moderate to large tan β values. Mh max =136, 123 and 126 GeV have been obtained in, the maximal, zero and typical mixing scenarios. M max h in pmssm, Carena et al. JHEP 1203 (2012) 014 With the significant splitting of the stop soft masses, the mass of the heaviest stop is of the order of the largest soft stop mass, and the lightest stop mass can be as low as 100 GeV 125 GeV Higgs does not imply a hard lower bound on the squark masses. A t larger than 2 TeV are required to achieve 125 GeV Higgs. In the case of no splitting between the two stop soft masses, values of A t above 1.5 TeV are needed to achieve Higgs masses in the region of interest.

Searches for charged Higgs in TESSM at the LHC Production modes of charged Higgs h ± h i 1, h± 1 W and h ± 1 φ give the dominant contributions for the light charged Higgs production in TESSM at the LHC. Considering different leptonic decays we focus on multi-leptonic final states: 3l, 4l and 5l final states. Due to other decay modes we also looked for 3l + 2j+ p T, 3l + 2b+ p T, 3l + 1τ+ p T final states Basic Cuts the calorimeter coverage is η < 4.5 As we are looking for leptonic final state we demanded hard jets, p jet = 20 GeV and T,min jets are ordered in p T leptons (l = e, µ) are selected with p T 10 GeV and η 2.5 R lj 0.4 and R ll 0.2 Collider Set up We analyse the signals and SM backgrounds via Pythia+Fastjet simulation at the LHC with 14 TeV. t t, t tz, t tw ± and VV (V : Z, W ± ) have been considered as dominant SM backgrounds.

The highest reach is for BP1, reaches 5σ in 100 fb 1 of integrated luminosity at the LHC with 14 TeV. whereas BP2 has the lowest reach takes 1000 fb 1 to reach 5σ due to triplet nature of h 2, Br(h 2 b b is very small. more back 3l + 1 τ h ± can also decay to τν, so also search 3l ( M i ll M Z 5GeV)+ 1τ jet+ p T 30 GeV final state.
