However, existing data from kaon and B-meson decays severely constrain this interpretation, and it is nontrivial to construct a model consistent with all the data. In this letter we show that the ``HyperCP particle'' can be identified with the light pseudoscalar Higgs boson in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, the A_1^0. In this model there are regions of parameter space where the A_1^0 can satisfy all the existing constraints from kaon and B-meson decays and mediate Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- at a level consistent with the HyperCP observation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-10-27T17:58:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "14.80.Cp", "13.30.Ce", "14.20.Jn" ], "keywords": [ "light higgs boson", "light pseudoscalar higgs boson", "next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model", "b-meson decays severely constrain", "hypercp observation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
