With Bayesian statistics, we investigate the full parameter space of the constrained “next-to-minimal” supersymmetric standard model (CNMSSM) with naturalness priors, which were derived in a previous work. In the past, most Bayesian analyses of the CNMSSM ignored naturalness of the electroweak (EW) scale by making prejudicial assumptions for parameters defined at the EW scale. We test the CNMSSM against the CMSSM with Bayesian evidence, which, with naturalness priors, incorporates a penalty for… Expand

Testing Higgs boson scenarios in the phenomenological NMSSM
There could be another scalar in nature quasi-degenerate with the observed one ($$h_{125}$$h125). This is possible in models such as the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). TheExpand
