Abstract

We show that in supersymmetric left-right models (SUSYLR), the upper bound on the lightest neutral Higgs mass can be appreciably higher than that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The exact magnitude of the bound depends on the scale of parity restoration and can be 10--20 GeV above the MSSM bound if the mass of the right-handed ${W}_{R}$ is in the TeV range. An important implication of our result is that since SUSYLR models provide a simple realization of the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses, measurement of the Higgs boson mass could provide an independent probe of a low seesaw scale.
