Abstract
We consider a scenario where supersymmetry is broken at a high energy scale, out of reach of the LHC, but leaves a few fermionic states at the TeV scale. The particle content of the low-energy effective theory is similar to that of Split Supersymmetry. However, the gauginos and higgsinos are replaced by fermions carrying the same quan-tum numbers but having different couplings, which we call fake gauginos and fake higgsinos. We study the prediction for the light-Higgs mass in this Fake Split-SUSY Model (FSSM). We find that, in contrast to Split or High-Scale Supersymmetry, a 126 GeV Higgs boson is easily obtained even for arbitrarily high values of the super-symmetry scale MS. For MS & 108 GeV, the Higgs mass is almost independent of the supersymmetry scale and the stop mixing parameter, while the observed value is achieved for tanβ between 1.3 and 1.8 depending on the gluino mass.
