Comparison of the EFT Hybrid and Three-Loop Fixed-Order Calculations of the Lightest MSSM Higgs Boson Mass

Abstract

The lightest Higgs boson mass of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model has been recently computed diagrammatically at the three-loop order in the whole supersymmetric parameters space of the SUSY-QCD sector. The code FeynHiggs combines one- and two-loop fixed-order with the effective-field-theory calculations for the same Higgs mass. The two numerical predictions agree considering the scenario of only one SUSY-scale and vanishing stop mixing parameter below 10 TeV. The agreement is improved by introducing an additional supersymmetric scale and a non-zero stop mixing. Additionally, the combined CMS/ATLAS Higgs mass value was used to derive an upper bound on the needed SUSY scale. In the considered scenario, values above the scale $12.5\pm 1.2\mathrm{TeV}$ are excluded.
