The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We study gauge extensions of the MSSM that contain non-decoupling D-terms, which contribute to the Higgs boson mass. These models naturally maintain gauge coupling unification and raise the Higgs mass without fine-tuning. Unification constrains the structure of the gauge extensions, limiting the Higgs mass in these models to roughly less than 150 GeV. The D-terms contribute to the Higgs mass only if the extended gauge symmetry is broken at energies of a few TeV, leading to new heavy gauge bosons in this mass range.

  • It is possible that this little hierarchy problem is resolved by extending the matter content of the MSSM to allow for new tree level contributions to the Higgs quartic, either from $F$-terms as in the NMSSM [ref] , indicating the presence of new chiral superfields, or from new $D$-term contributions as is possible in gauge extensions of the MSSM [ref] .

  • New $D$ terms have been previously considered as a way to generate large quartics for the Higgs by embedding the Higgs into a multiplet charged under the new gauge group [ref] .
