Di-photon decay of a light Higgs state in the BLSSM

In the context of the B - L Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM), we investigate the consistency of a scenario with a light Higgs boson with mass in the range 94 - 98 GeV and a Standard Model (SM) Higgs state at 125 GeV with the results of a search performed by the CMS Collaboration in the di-photon channel primarily involving data at an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1 and an energy of root s = 13 TeV. In this study, we present a Monte Carlo (MC) analysis of signal and background mimicking the experimental one and showing acceptable consistency with data, at both the integral and differential level.(c) 2022 The Author(s).
