Who needs a Higgs?
Gives masses to W, Z, and fermions in gauge invariant fashionUnitarizes VV→VV scattering
(More in Lecture 3)Makes precision electroweak data consistent

But….
Higgs mechanism doesn’t explain masses or flavor structure
It accommodates themHiggs mass is quadratically sensitive to physics at high scales
(More in Lecture 3)Higgs potential stable only for certain Higgs masses

SUSY Higgs
General 2 Higgs doublet potential has 6 couplings and a phaseSUSY Higgs potential has only 2 couplingsTake these to be MA and tanβ
At tree level Higgs couplings, neutral and charged Higgs masses are predictedLightest Higgs mass has upper limit

Upper Limit on Higgs Mass in SUSY Models
Can tune parameters, but always have upper limit below Mh∼130 GeV

MSSM discoveryFor large fraction of MA-tanβ space, more than one Higgs boson is observableFor MA→∝, MSSM becomes SM-likePlot shows regions where Higgs particles can be observed with > 5σ
Need to observe multiple Higgs bosons and measure their couplings
