Update on the MSSM Interpretation of ATLAS Higgs Searches Markus Schumacher, Bonn University ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 The Higgs Sector of the MSSM Updated MSSM Scan The 4 Benchmark Scenarios Observation potential for: h, A H, H +- SM versus MSSM if only h seen ( 1st look ) Conclusion and Outlook

3 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 Updated Interpretation in the MSSM Most recent calculations for masses a. branching ratios (HDECAY3.0, Feynhiggs1.3  catch up with LEP) New and updated analysis: e.g. Vector Boson Fusion channels More and new benchmark scenarios: ( same as final LEP paper ) 1)MHMAX Scenario (already in TDR) maximises theoretically allowed region for m h 2)Nomixing Scenario (already in TDR, with M SUSY = 1 TeV ) small m h, now use M SUSY = 2 TeV (1TeV excluded by LEP) 3) Gluophobic scenario 4)Small scenario (see hep/ph by M.Carena et al. for details) } New!!! Changed phenomenology of h

4 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 The Gluophobic Scenario Coupling of Higgs to gluons g Hgg supressed due to Cancellation of top and stop loops (M SUSY =350GeV)  very small cross section for gluon fusion reduced sensitivity for H  ,ZZ g Hgg MSSM/SM 2 1.2<g 2 1.0<g 2 < <g 2 < <g 2 < <g 2 < <g 2 < <g 2 <0.2

5 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 The Small  Scenario Coupling of Higgs to b-quarks g Hbb supressed due to Influence of sbottom and gluino loops ( M SUSY =800GeV )  Reduced branching ratio H  ,bb B(h  bb) MSSM/SM 1.4<B bb 1.2<B bb < <B bb < < B bb < <B bb < <B bb < <B bb <0.4

20 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 Only h seen: is it the SM or the MSSM ? only h > 1 Higgs boson MHMAX scenario, 300fb -1 BR(h  ) BR(h  WW) BR(h  bb) BR(h  WW) R1= R2= From VBF From tth  2 =(R1 MSSM -R1 SM ) 2  exp =(R2 MSSM -R2 SM ) 2  exp > 2 >1 Only statistical error

21 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 Conclusion  Updated interpretation of Higgs searches in 4 benchmark scenarios has been performed  Good coverage of M A -tan plane for all 4 scen., due to complementarity of search channels  New channels for h,H,A,H +- increase sensitivity  Multiple channels observable for light Higgs h  seems to allow some discrimination between SM and MSSM

22 Markus Schumacher, Universität Bonn ATLAS Physics Workshop, Athens, May 2003 Next Steps Finish study (and write up results obtained so far ?) Provide „Scan“-Ntuples and Tools Consider also the case when decay into SUSY particles on Include systematics and use more sophisticated combination Consider CP-violating MSSM and general 2HDM Continue studies on SM  MSSM discrimination Thanks for discussion and providing info/programs to M.
