Abstract

We estimate the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson h in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking masses (CMSSM), subject to the available accelerator and astrophysical constraints. For m_t=174.3GeV, we find that 114GeV<m_h<127GeV and a peak in the tanβ distribution ≃55. We observe two distinct peaks in the distribution of m_h values, corresponding to two different regions of the CMSSM parameter space. Values of m_h<119GeV correspond to small values of the gaugino mass m_1/2 and the soft trilinear supersymmetry-breaking parameter A ₀, lying along coannihilation strips, and most of the allowed parameter sets are consistent with a supersymmetric interpretation of the possibly discrepancy in g_μ-2. On the other hand, values of m _h>119GeV may correspond to much larger values of m_1/2 and A₀, lying in rapid-annihilation funnels. The favoured ranges of m_h vary with m_t, the two peaks being more clearly separated for m_t=178GeV and merging for m_t=172.7GeV. If the g_μ-2 constraint is imposed, the mode of the m_h distribution is quite stable, being ∼117GeV for all the studied values of m_t.
