Abstract
Completely natural electroweak symmetry breaking is easily achieved in supersymmetric models if there is a SM-like Higgs boson, , with . In the minimal supersymmetric model, such an decays mainly to and is ruled out by LEP constraints. However, if the MSSM Higgs sector is expanded so that decays mainly to still lighter Higgs bosons, e.g. , with , and if , then the LEP constraints are satisfied even if GeV. In this paper, we show that in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric model the above and properties (for the lightest -even and -odd Higgs bosons, respectively) imply a lower bound on that dedicated runs at present (and future) factories can explore.
