Sister Higgs
abstract
With the new information that the Higgs exists and its mass is approximately 125 GeV, the MSSM can only accomodate it with significant fine tuning. Even in its simplest extension, the NMSSM, a Higgs mass of 125 GeV can only be achieved by pushing some parameters to their perturbativity edge. In this talk I will discuss extensions of the SSM Higgs sector in an attempt to accomodate the Higgs mass in a natural and perturbative way. I will also discuss its phenomenology implications.
