Infrared quasi–fixed solutions in the NMSSM

The considerable part of the parameter space in the MSSM corresponding to the infrared quasi fixed point scenario is almost excluded by LEPII bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass. In the NMSSM the mass of the lightest Higgs boson reaches its maximum value in the strong Yukawa coupling limit when Yukawa couplings are essentially larger than gauge ones at the Grand Unification scale. In this limit the solutions of the renormalisation group equations are attracted to the infrared and Hill type effective fixed lines or surfaces in the Yukawa coupling parameter space. They are concentrated in the vicinity of quasi fixed points for Yi(0) → ∞. However the solutions are attracted to such points rather weakly. For this reason when all Yi(0) ∼ 1 the solutions of the renormalisation group equations are gathered near a line in the Hill type effective surface. In the paper the approximate solutions for the NMSSM Yukawa couplings are given. The possibility of b–quark and τ–lepton Yukawa coupling unification at the scale MX is also discussed.
