Description

Two of the key points of the LHC research program are searches for supersymmetry on the one hand and Higgs boson searches on the other hand. Though usually treated separately, if supersymmetry is realized in nature, the searches might be entangled. We first give a brief status of the validity of supersymmetric models. Then we discuss how Higgs boson searches might be affected by the existence of supersymmetric particles not yet directly detected. We focus on the search channels with the Higgs boson decay mode H → WW where data driven background estimation methods are applied. (authors)
