Light Higgs Branching Ratios in Constrained Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetry Scenarios Surveyed — •Conny Beskidt¹, Wim de Boer¹, Dmitri Kazakov^1,2, and Stefan Wayand¹ — ¹Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (IEKP) — ²JINR, ITEP, Moscow, Russia

Within the rich particle spectrum of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) three scalar Higgs bosons are predicted. In many cases the second lightest Higgs represents the standard model (SM) Higgs mass with SM couplings and a mass of 125 GeV, so a light Higgs below 125 GeV is automatically generated. We provide a scan over the NMSSM parameter space for different specific NMSSM scenarios to show the allowed mass range and branching ratios of this singlet-like Higgs boson. By comparing the cross section times branching ratio with the ones of the SM-like Higgs boson, we give prospects for future searches at the LHC.
