Abstract: (Elsevier)
In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, CP-even Higgs bosons can have masses in the range of 80–110 GeV in agreement with constraints from LEP due to their sizeable singlet component. Nevertheless their branching ratio into two photons can be more than 10 times larger than the one of a Standard Model Higgs boson of similar mass due to a reduced coupling to b quarks. This can lead to a spectacular enhancement of the Higgs signal rate in the di-photon channel at hadron colliders by a factor 6. Corresponding scenarios can occur in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for a relatively low Susy breaking scale.Note:
