Abstract
A possible discovery of a relatively light charged Higgs boson H+ in near future experiments, with a mass MH+ ≲ 110 GeV, together with the present LEP2 direct limits on the charging and neutral Higgs sectors, would disfavour the minimal supersymmetric standard model as well as its frequently discussed next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension. We show that a supersymmetric origin can naturally be ascribed to the existence of such a light charged Higgs scalar within the context of the recently introduced minimal nonminimal supersymmetric standard model. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
