Electroweak and supersymmetry breaking from the Higgs discovery

We will explore the consequences on the electroweak breaking condition, the mass of supersymmetric partners and the scale at which supersymmetry is broken, for arbitrary values of the supersymmetric parameters tan(beta) and the stop mixing X_t, which follow from the Higgs discovery with a mass m_H\simeq 126 GeV at the LHC. Within the present uncertainty on the top quark mass we deduce that radiative breaking requires tan(beta) \gtrsim 7 for maximal mixing X_t\simeq \sqrt{6}, and tan(beta) \gtrsim 20 for small mixing X_t\lesssim 1. The scale at which supersymmetry is broken \mathcal M can be of order the unification or Planck scale only for large values of tan(beta) and negligible mixing X_t\simeq 0. On the other hand for maximal mixing and large values of tan(beta) supersymmetry should break at scales as low as \mathcal M\simeq 10^5 GeV. The uncertainty in those predictions stemming from the uncertainty in the top quark mass, i.e. the top Yukawa coupling, is small (large) for large (small) values of tan(beta). In fact for tan(beta)=1 the uncertainty on the value of \mathcal M is of several orders of magnitude
