摘　　要：The next-to minimal supersymmetric standard model(NMSSM)with non-universal Higgs masses,i.e.,the semi-constrained NMSSM(scNMSSM),extends the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM)by a singlet superfield and assumes universal conditions,except for the Higgs sector.It can not only maintain the simplicity and grace of the fully constrained MSSM and NMSSM and relieve the tension they have been facing since the discovery of the 125-GeV Higgs boson but also allow for an exotic phenomenon wherein the Higgs decay into a pair of light( 10-60GeV)singlet-dominated(pseudo)scalars(hereafter,in this paper,we use"scalar"for both scalars and pseudoscalars,considering pseudoscalars can also be called CP-odd scalars).This condition can be classified into three scenarios according to the identitiesof the SM-like Higgs and the light scalar:(i)the light scalar is CP-odd,and the SM-like Higgs is h_(2);(ii)the light scalar is CP-odd,and the SM-like Higgs is h_(1);and(iii)the light scalar is CP-even,and the SM-like Higgs is h_(2) .In this work,we compare the three scenarios,checking the interesting parameter regions that lead to the scenarios,the mixing levels of the doublets and singlets,the tri-scalar coupling between the SM-like Higgs and a pair of light scalars,the branching ratio of Higgs decay to the light scalars,and sensitivities in the detection of the exotic decay at the HL-LHC and future lepton colliders such as CEPC,FCC-ee,and ILC.Finally,several interesting conclusions are drawn,which are useful for understanding the different delicate mechanisms of the exotic decay and designing colliders in future.
