  A Higgs-like particle with a mass of about 125.5 GeV has been discovered at
the LHC. Within the current experimental uncertainties, this new state is
compatible with both the predictions for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson
and with the Higgs sector in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM).
We propose new low-energy MSSM benchmark scenarios that, over a wide parameter
range, are compatible with the mass and production rates of the observed
signal. These scenarios also exhibit interesting phenomenology for the MSSM
Higgs sector. We propose a slightly updated version of the well-known mh-max
scenario, and a modified scenario (mh-mod), where the light CP-even Higgs boson
can be interpreted as the LHC signal in large parts of the MA-tan \beta\ plane.
Furthermore, we define a light stop scenario that leads to a suppression of the
lightest CP-even Higgs gluon fusion rate, and a light stau scenario with an
enhanced decay rate of h to \gamma\gamma\ at large tan \beta. We also suggest a
\tau-phobic Higgs scenario in which the lightest Higgs can have suppressed
couplings to down-type fermions. We propose to supplement the specified value
of the \mu\ parameter in some of these scenarios with additional values of both
signs. This has a significant impact on the interpretation of searches for the
non SM-like MSSM Higgs bosons. We also discuss the sensitivity of the searches
to heavy Higgs decays into light charginos and neutralinos, and to decays of
the form H to hh. Finally, in addition to all the other scenarios where the
lightest CP-even Higgs is interpreted as the LHC signal, we propose a low-MH
scenario, where instead the heavy CP-even Higgs boson corresponds to the new
state around 125.5 GeV.
