Higgs Production in Neutralino Decays in the MSSM - The LHC and a Future e+e- Collider

Alexandre Arbey, Marco Battaglia, Farvah Mahmoudi

The search for the production of weakly-interacting SUSY particles at the LHC is crucial for testing supersymmetry in relation to dark matter. Decays of neutralinos into Higgs boso…

Supersymmetry confronts Bs -> mu+mu-: Present and future status

A. Arbey, M. Battaglia, F. Mahmoudi +1

The purely leptonic rare decay Bs -> mu+mu- is very sensitive to supersymmetric contributions which are free from the helicity suppression of its Standard Model diagrams. The recen…

Discrete R Symmetries and Anomalies

Michael Dine, Angelo Monteux

We comment on aspects of discrete anomaly conditions focussing particularly on symmetries. We review the Green-Schwarz cancellation of discrete anomalies, providing a heuristic…

An update of the constraints on the phenomenological MSSM from the new LHC Higgs results

A. Arbey, M. Battaglia, A. Djouadi +1

Updated results on the search of Higgs bosons at the LHC with up to 17/fb of data have just been presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. New constraints are provided by the…

Gravity Mediation Retrofitted

Milton Bose, Michael Dine

Most discussion of metastable dynamical supersymmetry breaking (MDSB) has focussed on low energy breaking, as in gauge mediation. It is of interest to consider possible implication…

Accidental Supersymmetric Dark Matter and Baryogenesis

Jonathan Kozaczuk, Stefano Profumo, Carroll L. Wainwright

We show that "accidental" supersymmetry is a beyond-the-Standard Model framework that naturally accommodates a thermal relic dark matter candidate and successful electroweak baryog…

Approximate Particle Spectra in the Pyramid Scheme

Tom Banks, T. J. Torres

We construct a minimal model within the general class of Pyramid Schemes, which is consistent with both supersymmetry breaking and electroweak symmetry breaking. In order to do com…

The Higgs sector of the phenomenological MSSM in the light of the Higgs boson discovery

Alexandre Arbey, Marco Battaglia, Abdelhak Djouadi +1

The long awaited discovery of a new light scalar at the LHC opens up a new era of studies of the Higgs sector in the SM and its extensions. In this paper we discuss the consequence…

Supersymmetric Electroweak Baryogenesis Via Resonant Sfermion Sources

Jonathan Kozaczuk, Stefano Profumo, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf +1

We calculate the baryon asymmetry produced at the electroweak phase transition by quasi-degenerate third generation sfermions in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standar…

Update on the Pyramid Scheme

Tom Banks, T. J. Torres

We summarize recent work in which we attempt to make a consistent model of LHC physics, from the Pyramid Scheme. The models share much with the NMSSM, in particular, enhanced tree…

Light Neutralino Dark Matter in the pMSSM: Implications of LEP, LHC and Dark Matter Searches on SUSY Particle Spectra

A. Arbey, M. Battaglia, F. Mahmoudi

We investigate the viability of light neutralino scenarios as promoted by dark matter direct detection experiments. Using high statistics scans in the pMSSM we have identified seve…

Phase Transitions and Gauge Artifacts in an Abelian Higgs Plus Singlet Model

Carroll L. Wainwright, Stefano Profumo, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf

While the finite-temperature effective potential in a gauge theory is a gauge-dependent quantity, in several instances a first-order phase transition can be triggered by gauge-inde…

Diphotons from Tetraphotons in the Decay of a 125 GeV Higgs at the LHC

Patrick Draper, David McKeen

Recently the ATLAS and CMS experiments have presented data hinting at the presence of a Higgs boson at GeV. The best-fit rate averaged over the two…

Earthly probes of the smallest dark matter halos

Jonathan M. Cornell, Stefano Profumo

Dark matter kinetic decoupling involves elastic scattering of dark matter off of leptons and quarks in the early universe, the same process relevant for direct detection and for th…

Implications of a 125 GeV Higgs for supersymmetric models

A. Arbey, M. Battaglia, A. Djouadi +2

Preliminary results of the search for a Standard Model like Higgs boson at the LHC with 5 fb-1 data have just been presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations and an excess of ev…

Group-theoretic Condition for Spontaneous CP Violation

Howard E. Haber, Ze'ev Surujon

We formulate the necessary conditions for a scalar potential to exhibit spontaneous CP violation. Associated with each complex scalar field is a U(1) symmetry that may be explicitl…
