Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2686–2689 (1993)Calculable upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in perturbatively valid supersymmetric theories with arbitrary Higgs sectorsReceived 16 October 1992; published in the issue dated 3 May 1993 We derive a calculable upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in perturbatively valid supersymmetric theories with arbitrary Higgs sectors. We assume a supersymmetry spectrum around or below 1 TeV and the standard model gauge symmetry, but place no restrictions on the Higgs sector. We estimate mh0<146 GeV for Mt≳100 GeV from all effects except possible additional heavy fermions beyond top (which could increase the limit approximately 12 GeV per extra family); for 60≲100 GeV we find mh0<156 GeV. In most explicitly constructed models the lightest Higgs boson mass does not saturate the upper limit. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
