Properties of Heavy Higgs Bosons and Dark Matter Under Current Experimental Limits in the <i>μ</i>NMSSM

Searches for new particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) are an important task for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this paper, we investigate the properties of the heavy non-SM Higgs bosons in the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="...

In this paper, we investigate the properties of the heavy non-SM Higgs bosons in the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>μ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-term extended Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>μ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>NMSSM).
