Several variants of the MSSM have been proposed to account for this result, which vary according to the accepted degree of fine-tuning. We propose an alternative scenario here, Slim SUSY, which contains sfermions with multi-TeV masses and gauginos/higgsinos near the EW scale, but it includes the heavy MSSM Higgs bosons ($H^0$, $A^0$, $H^\\pm$) near the EW scale too. We discuss first the formulation and constraints of the Slim SUSY scenario, and then identify distinctive heavy Higgs signals that could be searched at the LHC, within scenarios with the minimal number of superpartners with masses near the EW scale.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-04-08T20:43:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ew scale", "heavy mssm higgs bosons", "minimal surviving supersymmetric extension", "direct lhc bounds", "identify distinctive heavy higgs signals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2013, "month": "May", "volume": 722, "number": "1-3", "pages": 100 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1209437, "adsabs": "2013PhLB..722..100A" } } }
