Abstract
We present a calculable supersymmetric theory of a composite “fat” Higgs boson. Electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically through a new gauge interaction that becomes strong at an intermediate scale. The Higgs boson mass can easily be 200–450 GeV along with the superpartner masses, solving the supersymmetric little hierarchy problem. We explicitly verify that the model is consistent with precision electroweak data without fine-tuning. Gauge coupling unification can be maintained despite the inherently strong dynamics involved in electroweak symmetry breaking. Supersymmetrizing the standard model therefore does not imply a light Higgs boson mass, contrary to the lore in the literature. The Higgs sector of the minimal fat Higgs model has a mass spectrum that is distinctly different from that of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.
