The abstract, sentence by sentence

We propose a new mechanism for producing a Higgs boson mass near 125 GeV within the MSSM. By coupling the MSSM Higgs boson to a set of strongly interacting fields, large corrections to the Higgs quartic coupling are induced. Although the Higgs doublets do not participate in the strong dynamics, they feel the effects of the strongly coupled sector via (semi-)perturbative interactions. These same strong dynamics are also capable of generating the $\mu$-term. Additionally, this strong sector is in the conformal window, which drives the couplings to an infrared fixed point and naturally generates model parameters of the appropriate size.

Interestingly, the dynamical model in section [ref] has almost an identical structure to the supersymmetric model in Ref. [ref] , where the dynamical sector was introduced to achieve the observed Higgs boson mass in the MSSM with soft supersymmetry breaking masses in the TeV regime.

Recent studies include: gauge mediation models with vector-like matters [ref] , the $Z_3$ symmetric singlet extension of the Higgs sector [ref] (earlier works can be found in Refs. [ref] ), introducing $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry (the Higgs is charged under this new $U(1)'$ symmetry) [ref] , generation of large $A_t$ through Higgs-Messenger mixing [ref] or through RG flow [ref] , introducing extra strongly interacting sector which couples to the Higgs sector [ref] , and so on.

In this appendix we determine the anomalous dimensions of the strongly interacting sector by using the so-called $a$-maximization method [ref] instead of the Banks-Zaks approximation presented in section [ref] .

As a result, the top Yukawa coupling constant determined from the observed top quark mass $m_top =173.2±0.2$ GeV [ref] [equation] predicts [equation] This value is quite favorable for realizing a sufficiently large quartic coupling as well as natural values for the $μ$ and $B$-term (see Fig. [ref]).
