Gauge Extensions of the MSSM Revisited

Abstract

We study an extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a gauge group breaking to . The extra wino has an enhanced gauge coupling to the SM-like Higgs boson and, if light, has a relevant impact on the weak scale phenomenology. The low energy Higgs quartic coupling is modified both by extra -term corrections and by a modification of its renormalization group evolution from high energies. At low values of , the latter effect may be dominant. This leads to interesting regions of parameter space in which the model can accommodate a 125 GeV Higgs with relatively light third generation squarks and an increased decay branching ratio, while still satisfying the constraints from electroweak precision data and Higgs vacuum stability.
