Abstract
A recent ATLAS search for diboson resonances and a CMS search for eejj resonances which both show excesses with significance around 3σ have generated interest in SU(2) R gauge extensions of the Standard Model with a W ′ mass around 2 TeV. We investigate the possibility that an SU(2) R gauge extension of the MSSM compatible with an explanation of the diboson anomaly might give rise to a significant enhancement of the Higgs mass above the MSSM tree level bound m h,tree < 90 GeV due to non-decoupling D-terms. This model contains a vector-like charge −1/3 SU(2) R singlet quark for each generation which mixes significantly with the SU(2) R doublet quarks, affecting the W R phenomenology. We find that it is possible to achieve m h,tree > 110 GeV, and this requires that the Z ′ mass is close to 3 TeV.
