Virtual effects of light gauginos and higgsinos: a precision electroweak analysis of split supersymmetry

Stephen P. Martin, Kazuhiro Tobe, James D. Wells

We compute corrections to precision electroweak observables in supersymmetry in the limit that scalar superpartners are very massive and decoupled. This leaves charginos and neutra…

Discovering an Invisibly Decaying Higgs at Hadron Colliders

Hooman Davoudiasl, Tao Han, Heather E. Logan

A Higgs boson lighter than 2 m_W that decays mostly into invisible channels (e.g., dark matter particles) is theoretically well-motivated. We study the prospects for discovery of s…
