why are two higgs doublets required in SUSY?
I can't really understand why two higgs doublets are required in SUSY.
From the literature, I have found opaque explanations that say something along the lines of: the superpotential W must be a ...

Recent Higgs boson observation and credibility of superstring theories
Data are coming in, and it seems that recent Higgs boson observation is eliminating many SUSY models. If so, what is happening to superstring theories, like M-theory?

Relationship between hierarchy problem and higgs fine tuning?
I often hear of hierarchy problem being used synonymous with Higgs fine tuning (esp with regards with motivations for SUSY). What exactly is the relationship between the two problems? As I understand ...

Why is the lightest Higgs not a free parameter in SUSY?
In the Standard Model, the Higgs mass doesn't really have any theoretical constraints. It could have basically any value and nothing 'breaks'.
However, in MSSM models, we often see the tree level ...

How would the discovery of Higgs Boson affect superstring theories?
As we probably all know, a new particle similar to Higgs Boson has been discovered.
If this turns out to be true, standard model will get a boost (as the discovered mass almost equals to the ...

What can drive the higgs mass in mSUGRA up?
As a test to familiarize myself with the program softsusy, I generated a spectrum for the following (already excluded, but once considered) mSUGRA point: $m_0 = 170\,\mathrm{GeV}$, $m_{1/2} = ...

Higgs boson and string theory
Assuming Higgs is found at 125 GeV.Is there any direct or indirect consequence on string theory ? Will it be a blow to string theory or models employing string theory ?

Are there any models for two light Higgs?
The LHC results today seem to have two possible Higgs peaks, one at 119 GeV and the other at 125-126 GeV. All the multi-Higgs supersymmetry models I've seen that have multiple Higgs have only one ...

Status of the little hierarchy problem
What is the current thinking on the little hierarchy problem in light of a potential Higgs mass above 120 GeV? A few years ago, at least, I remember various phenomenologists saying that this at least ...

Stablising the Higgs without SUSY
Should the Higgs be found at the LHC, but no supersymmetry (assuming for the sake of argument that the LHC be capable of eliminating all versions of SUSY that are motivated by solving the hierarchy ...
