Abstract
We consider a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with low-scale supersymmetry breaking. Besides usual superpartners it contains additional chiral goldstino supermultiplet whose scalar components — sgoldstinos — can mix with scalars from the Higgs sector of the model. We show that this mixing can have considerable impact on phenomenology of the lightest Higgs boson and scalar sgoldstino. In particular, the latter can be a good candidate for explanation of 2σ LEP excess with mass around 98 GeV.
