摘要
We propose an experimental test of a scenario in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model in which both the lightest scalar and the lightest pseudoscalar Higgs bosons have masses around 125 GeV. The pseudoscalar can contribute significantly to the gamma gamma rate at the LHC due to light Higgsino-like charginos in its effective one-loop coupling to two photons. Such charginos are obtained for small values of the mu(eff) parameter, which also results in enhanced b (b) over bar and tau(+)tau(-) rates compared to those expected for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson. This scenario should result in a clear discrepancy between the observed rates in these three decay channels and those in the WW and ZZ channels, since the pseudoscalar does not couple to the W and Z bosons. However, in the dominant gluon fusion production mode, the pseudoscalar will stay hidden behind the SM-like scalar Higgs boson, and in order for it to be observable, the associated b (b) over barh production mode has to be considered, the cross section for which is tiny in the SM but tan beta-enhanced in supersymmetry. We analyze the constrained next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model with nonuniversal Higgs sector parameters and identify regions of its parameter space where the lightest pseudoscalar with mass around 125 GeV and strongly enhanced gamma gamma ( up to 60%), b (b) over bar and tau(+)tau(-) rates in the b (b) over barh mode can be obtained.
