Abstract
Searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson by the four LEP experiments found excess events in two mass ranges: a 2.3 sigma excess around 98 GeV, and an 1.7 sigma excess around 115 GeV. The latter has been discussed widely in the literature, but the former has attracted little attention so far. In this paper I explore the possibility of explaining the excess near 98 GeV through production of the lighter CP–even Higgs boson in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). It is shown that this allows to simultaneously explain the excess near 115 GeV through the production of the heavier CP–even MSSM Higgs boson. The resulting light Higgs sector offers opportunities for charged Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron and LHC. Neutral Higgs boson searches at the LHC in the di–muon channel are also promising. However, conclusive tests of this scenario may have to wait for the construction of a linear e+ e- collider.

An important virtue is that with this new window, a light Higgs mass with $m_h ∼(95-100)$ GeV could explain the slight excess of events of $2.3σ$ statistical significance [ref] as reported by the LEP2 experiments [ref] .

While there are many earlier papers that have considered mixed-Higgs scenarios in the context of both the MSSM [ref] and NMSSM (or other singlet extensions of the MSSM) [ref] , most did not consider the fine tuning issue.
