SUMMARY:Low-Mass Higgs Bosons in the NMSSM  and Their LHC Implications
 \, Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Shufang Su\, University of
  Arizona
DESCRIPTION:We study the Higgs sector of the Next to Minimal Supersymm
 etric Standard Model (NMSSM) in light of the discovery of the SM-like 
 Higgs boson at the LHC. We perform a broad scan over the NMSSM paramet
 er space and identify the regions that are consistent with current Hig
 gs search results at colliders. In contrast to the commonly studied ``
 decoupling'' scenario in the literature where the MSSM CP-odd Higgs bo
 son mass is large mA>>mZ\, we pay particular attention to the light Hi
 ggs states in the case when mA ~ mZ. The SM-like Higgs boson could be 
 either the lightest CP-even scalar or the second lightest CP-even scal
 ar. These NMSSM parameter regions have unique properties and offer ric
 h phenomenology.  We evaluate the production and decay of the Higgs bo
 sons in this model and comment on further searches at the LHC to probe
  the Higgs sector of the NMSSM.
