The Higgs sector in spontaneously broken R-parity supersymmetry (RPSUSY) shows interesting features that require new search techniques. Both the mass spectrum and production rates may differ from the Standard Model and minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) expectations. For some parameter choices, the dominant Higgs boson decay mode can even be invisible, leading to events with large missing transverse momentum carried by superweakly interacting majorons. We study the reaction pp → Z + H + X, and find that it can lead to detectable events at LHC/SSC for a large region of parameter space.

While the existence of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV has been clearly established, the detailed structure of the entire Higgs sector is yet unclear. Besides the Standard Model interpretation, various possibilities for extended Higgs sectors are being considered. The minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM) features two Higgs doublets resulting in five physical Higgs bosons, which are subject to direct searches. Alternatively, more generic Two-Higgs Doublet models (2HDM) are used for the interpretation of results. The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model (NMSSM) has a more complex Higgs sector with seven physical states. Also exotic Higgs bosons decaying to invisible final states are considered. This article summarizes recent findings based on results from collider experiments.

The main phenomenological aspects of the Higgs bosons are briefly reviewed in the context of the Standard Model and in models with an "extended" Higgs sector. Among the latter, special emphasis is made on the Two-Doublet Model and, particularly, the Minimal Supersymmetric Model.

In the Next-to-Minimal SuperSymmetric Model (NMSSM) the lightest CP-odd Higgs bosons (a1) can be very light. As a consequence, in addition to the standard charged Higgs boson (h±) decays considered in the MSSM for a light charged Higgs (mh±<mt), the branching fraction forh±→a1Wcan be dominant. We investigate how this signal can be searched for intt-production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the case that (ma1≳2mB) with thea1giving rise to a singlebb--jet and discuss to what extent the LHC experiments are able to discover such a scenario with an integrated luminosity ~20 fb−1. We also discuss the implications of the possible Higgs-signal observed at the LHC.

The Higgs sector of supersymmetric models with an additional SU (2)× U (1)Y singlet or an additional pair of Higgs doublet superfields is investigated. It is shown that in the model with a Higgs singlet bounds on Higgs boson masses are considerably weaker than in the minimal supersymmetric model; in particular, all neutral scalars can be heavier than about 150 GeV or lighter than [Formula: see text], whereas the mass of the charged Higgs boson is essentially unconstrained. The four doublet model resembles the minimal model more closely; in particular, the bounds for the heaviest and lightest neutral scalar and the heaviest charged Higgs boson are unaltered. In this model, many relations between masses of different Higgs bosons can be found; 44 of the 66 possible decays of one Higgs boson into another Higgs boson plus a real W or Z boson are kinematically forbidden. It is also shown that in both models, the lightest neutral scalar becomes indistinguishable from the standard model Higgs boson if all other Higgs bosons of the model are much heavier than Mw.

Abstract The results of a search for electroweakino pair production $$pp \rightarrow \tilde{\chi }^\pm _1 \tilde{\chi }^0_2$$pp→χ~1±χ~20 in which the chargino ($$\tilde{\chi }^\pm _1$$χ~1±) decays into a W boson and the lightest neutralino ($$\tilde{\chi }^0_1$$χ~10), while the heavier neutralino ($$\tilde{\chi }^0_2$$χ~20) decays into the Standard Model 125 GeV Higgs boson and a second $$\tilde{\chi }^0_1$$χ~10 are presented. The signal selection requires a pair of b-tagged jets consistent with those from a Higgs boson decay, and either an electron or a muon from the W boson decay, together with missing transverse momentum from the corresponding neutrino and the stable neutralinos. The analysis is based on data corresponding to 139 $$\mathrm {fb}^{-1}$$fb-1 of $$\sqrt{s}=13$$s=13 TeV pp collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector. No statistically significant evidence of an excess of events above the Standard Model expectation is found. Limits are set on the direct production of the electroweakinos in simplified models, assuming pure wino cross-sections. Masses of $$\tilde{\chi }^{\pm }_{1}/\tilde{\chi }^{0}_{2}$$χ~1±/χ~20 up to 740 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for a massless $$\tilde{\chi }^{0}_{1}$$χ~10.

AbstractA search for chargino–neutralino pair production in three-lepton final states with missing transverse momentum is presented. The study is based on a dataset of $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13  TeV pp collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 $$\hbox {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . No significant excess relative to the Standard Model predictions is found in data. The results are interpreted in simplified models of supersymmetry, and statistically combined with results from a previous ATLAS search for compressed spectra in two-lepton final states. Various scenarios for the production and decay of charginos ($${\tilde{\chi }}^\pm _1$$ χ ~ 1 ± ) and neutralinos ($${\tilde{\chi }}^0_2$$ χ ~ 2 0 ) are considered. For pure higgsino $${\tilde{\chi }}^\pm _1{\tilde{\chi }}^0_2$$ χ ~ 1 ± χ ~ 2 0 pair-production scenarios, exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on $${\tilde{\chi }}^0_2$$ χ ~ 2 0 masses up to 210 GeV. Limits are also set for pure wino $${\tilde{\chi }}^\pm _1{\tilde{\chi }}^0_2$$ χ ~ 1 ± χ ~ 2 0 pair production, on $${\tilde{\chi }}^0_2$$ χ ~ 2 0 masses up to 640 GeV for decays via on-shell W and Z bosons, up to 300 GeV for decays via off-shell W and Z bosons, and up to 190 GeV for decays via W and Standard Model Higgs bosons.

We briefly review the supersymmetric explanation for the cosmic dark matter. Although the neutralino in the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), the next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM) and the nearly minimal supersymmetric model (nMSSM) can naturally explain the dark matter relic density, the PAMELA result can hardly be explained in these popular models. In the general singlet extension of the MSSM, both the PAMELA result and the relic density can be explained by the singlino-like neutralino. Such singlino-like neutralinos annihilate into the singlet-like Higgs bosons, which are light enough to decay dominantly to muons or electrons, and the annihilation cross section can be greatly enhanced by the Sommerfeld effect via exchanging a light CP-even singlet-like Higgs boson. In this scenario, in order to meet the stringent LEP constraints, the SM-like Higgs boson tends to decay into the singlet Higgs pairs instead of [Formula: see text] and consequently it will give a multi-muon signal hSM → aa → 4µ or hSM → hh → 4a → 8µ at the LHC.
