SuSpect: a Fortran Code for the Supersymmetric and Higgs Particle Spectrum in the MSSM
We present the Fortran code SuSpect version 2.3, which calculates the
Supersymmetric and Higgs particle spectrum in the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model (MSSM). The calculation can be performed in constrained models
with universal boundary conditions at high scales such as the gravity (mSUGRA),
anomaly (AMSB) or gauge (GMSB) mediated breaking models, but also in the
non-universal MSSM case with R-parity and CP conservation. Care has been taken
to treat important features such as the renormalization group evolution of
parameters between low and high energy scales, the consistent implementation of
radiative electroweak symmetry breaking and the calculation of the physical
masses of the Higgs bosons and supersymmetric particles taking into account the
dominant radiative corrections. Some checks of important theoretical and
experimental features, such as the absence of non desired minima, large
fine-tuning in the electroweak symmetry breaking condition, as well as
agreement with precision measurements can be performed. The program is user
friendly, simple to use, self-contained and can easily be linked with other
codes; it is rather fast and flexible, thus allowing scans of the parameter
space with several possible options and choices for model assumptions and
approximations.Comment: 44 pages, 1 figure. Program updated and text shortened. The program
