Large Jet Multiplicities and Natural Supersymmetry at the LHC

Jason Kumar

We consider a search strategy for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider which focuses on the signature of many jets and missing transverse energy, but no charged leptons. We sho…

Radiative natural supersymmetry: Reconciling electroweak fine-tuning and the Higgs boson mass

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Peisi Huang +3

Models of natural supersymmetry seek to solve the little hierarchy problem by positing a spectrum of light higgsinos <~ 200-300 GeV and light top squarks <~ 600 GeV along with very…

Novel Dark Matter Models and Detection Strategies

Jason Kumar

We consider the impact of relaxing some typical assumptions about dark matter interactions, including isospin-invariance, elastic scattering and contact interactions. We show that…

Post-LHC7 fine-tuning in the mSUGRA/CMSSM model with a 125 GeV Higgs boson

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Peisi Huang +3

The recent discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs-like resonance at LHC, coupled with the lack of evidence for weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY), have severely constrained SUSY models such as…

Direct Detection of Dynamical Dark Matter

Keith R. Dienes, Jason Kumar, Brooks Thomas

Dynamical dark matter (DDM) is an alternative framework for dark-matter physics in which the dark-matter candidate is an ensemble of constituent fields with differing masses, lifet…

Spin Determination for Fermiophobic Bosons

Jason Kumar, Arvind Rajaraman, David Yaylali

We discuss the prospects for production and detection of fermiophobic bosons (exotic bosons decaying only to standard model gauge bosons) at the LHC, and describe simple methods fo…

Explanation for the low flux of high energy astrophysical muon-neutrinos

Sandip Pakvasa, Anjan Joshipura, Subhendra Mohanty

We consider the possibility that some exotic neutrino property is responsible for reducing the muon neutrino flux at high energies from distant neutrino sources; specifically, we c…

Strong moduli stabilization and phenomenology

Emilian Dudas, Andrei Linde, Yann Mambrini +2

We describe the resulting phenomenology of string theory/supergravity models with strong moduli stabilization. The KL model with F-term uplifting, is one such example. Models of th…

Bremsstrahlung signatures of dark matter annihilation in the Sun

Keita Fukushima, Yu Gao, Jason Kumar +1

The nonrelativistic annihilation of Majorana dark matter in the Sun to a pair of light fermions is chirality-suppressed. Annihilation to 3-body final states , where $V=…

Discovery potential for SUSY at a high luminosity upgrade of LHC14

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Andre Lessa +1

After completion of the LHC8 run in 2012, the plan is to upgrade the LHC for operation close to its design energy sqrt{s}=14 TeV, with a goal of collecting hundreds of fb^{-1} of i…

Isospin-Violating Dark Matter at the LHC

Kaoru Hagiwara, Danny Marfatia, Toshifumi Yamada

We consider a toy model of dark matter (DM) with a gauge singlet Dirac fermion that has contact interactions to quarks that differ for right-handed up and down quarks. This is moti…

Radiative natural SUSY with a 125 GeV Higgs boson

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Peisi Huang +2

It has been argued that requiring low electroweak fine-tuning (EWFT) along with a (partial) decoupling solution to the SUSY flavor and CP problems leads to a sparticle mass spectra…

Constrained Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model with a Higgs Near 125 GeV

P. Athron, S. F. King, D. J. Miller +2

We study the parameter space of the constrained exceptional supersymmetric standard model (cE6SSM) consistent with a Higgs signal near 125 GeV and the LHC searches for squarks, glu…

E6 inspired SUSY models with exact custodial symmetry

R. Nevzorov

The breakdown of E_6 gauge symmetry at high energies may lead to supersymmetric (SUSY) models based on the Standard Model (SM) gauge group together with extra U(1)_ψ and U(1)_χ gau…

Distinguishing Dynamical Dark Matter at the LHC

Keith R. Dienes, Shufang Su, Brooks Thomas

Dynamical dark matter (DDM) is a new framework for dark-matter physics in which the dark sector comprises an ensemble of individual component fields which collectively conspire to…

Tools for Studying Low-Mass Dark Matter at Neutrino Detectors

Jason Kumar, John G. Learned, Katherine Richardson +1

We determine the neutrino spectra arising from low-mass (4-10 GeV) dark matter annihilating in the sun. We also determine the low-mass dark matter capture rates (element by element…

Natural Supersymmetry: LHC, dark matter and ILC searches

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Peisi Huang +1

Particle physics models with Natural Supersymmetry are characterized by a superpotential parameter μ\sim m_h \sim125$ GeV, while third generation squarks have mass <0.5-1.5 TeV. Gl…

Phenomenological Constraints on Axion Models of Dynamical Dark Matter

Keith R. Dienes, Brooks Thomas

In two recent papers (arXiv:1106.4546, arXiv:1107.0721), we introduced "dynamical dark matter" (DDM), a new framework for dark-matter physics in which the requirement of stability…

WZ plus missing-E_T signal from gaugino pair production at LHC7

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Sabine Kraml +3

LHC searches for supersymmetry currently focus on strongly produced sparticles, which are copiously produced if gluinos and squarks have masses of a few hundred GeV. However, in su…

NMSSM Higgs Benchmarks Near 125 GeV

S. F. King, M. Muhlleitner, R. Nevzorov

The recent LHC indications of a SM-like Higgs boson near 125 GeV are consistent not only with the Standard Model (SM) but also with Supersymmetry (SUSY). However naturalness argume…
