Upper Bound on the Lightest Higgs Mass in Supersymmetric Theories
Abstract
Description
The problem of the lightest Higgs boson mass in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) is investigated. Assuming the validity of the perturbation theory up to unification scales and using the recent experimental results for the top quark mass, the restrictions on the NMSSM coupling constants are obtained. These restrictions are used to make the predictions for the lightest Higgs mass, which are compared to those of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM).
