Photophilic Higgs from sgoldstino mixing

Abstract

The spontaneous breaking of linearly realized N=1 supersymmetry implies the existence of a pseudo-Goldstone fermion, the goldstino, and of its complex scalar superpartner, the sgoldstino. The latter has generically sizable tree-level couplings to Standard Model gauge bosons while its couplings to SM fermions are suppressed. We consider a light sgoldstino, with a mass around 1 TeV, that mixes with a SM-like Higgs scalar at around 125 GeV. We show that such a mixing can enhance the Higgs to di-photon signal rate while evading all the relevant experimental bounds and without significantly affecting the other decay channels.
