Infrared Quasi Fixed Points and Mass Predictions in the MSSM

Abstract

We consider the infrared quasi-fixed point solutions of the renormalization group equations for the top-quark Yukawa coupling and soft supersymmetry breaking parameters in the MSSM. The IR quasi-fixed points together with the values of the gauge couplings, the top-quark and Z-boson masses allow one to predict masses of the Higgs bosons, the stop squarks and the lightest chargino as functions of the only free parameter $m_{1/2}$ or the gluino mass. The mass of the lightest Higgs boson for $\mu>0$ and $M_{SUSY} \approx 1$ TeV is found to be $m_h=(94.3+1.6+0.6\pm5\pm0.4)$ GeV. The case with $\mu<0$ is excluded by experimental data.
