Abstract

In the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model or MSSM, the lighter Higgs boson has a rather large mass, M_h≈ 125 GeV. Together with the non-observation of superpartners at the LHC, this suggests that the SUSY-breaking scale is rather high, M_S > 1 TeV. This implies a dramatic simplification of the MSSM Higgs sector that is summarised here.
