Abstract
We study the impact of the non-holomorphic (NH) soft supersymmetry-breaking terms and , which introduce additional supersymmetry-breaking effects beyond the holomorphic structure of the superpotential, on the Higgs boson mass spectrum in the NH Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The term modifies the scalar bottom-quark mass matrix and Higgs couplings, while affects the mass matrices of charginos and neutralinos. In our analysis, we incorporate constraints from charge- and color-breaking minima where we find that a portion of the parameter space is excluded by these constraints. Focusing on the allowed parameter space, the NH contributions to the light -even Higgs boson mass from and can reach up to 1.4 GeV and 90 MeV, respectively. For the heavy -even Higgs boson mass and the charged Higgs boson mass , these contributions can be substantially larger in certain regions of the parameter space, reaching up to 44 GeV for and 42 GeV for due to and up to 60 GeV due to for both and . These corrections are significantly larger than the expected future experimental precision for Higgs boson masses and should therefore be considered in precision analyses for future experiments.
