Pushing the SUSY Higgs mass towards 125 GeV with a color adjoint

We show that inclusion of a TeV scale chiral superfield transforming in the adjoint representation of the color SU(3) to the minimal supersymmetric standard model particle content modifies the renormalization group running of some parameters in such a way that a 125 GeV mass of the light Higgs boson is accommodated more comfortably than in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model or minimal supergravity. Put differently, the introduction of a color adjoint TeV scale superfield helps resurrect lighter choices for the top squark and gluino which are otherwise disfavored in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model or minimal supergravity.
