Abstract

We describe a model named No-Scale F-SU(5) which is simultaneously capable of explaining the dual signals emerging at the LHC of i) a 124-126 GeV Higgs boson mass m_h, and ii) tantalizing low-statistics excesses in the multi-jet data which may attributable to supersymmetry. These targets tend to be mutually exclusive in more conventional approaches. The unified mechanism responsible for both effects is the introduction of a rather unique set of vector-like multiplets at the TeV scale, dubbed flippons, which i) can elevate m_h by around 3-4 GeV via radiative loop corrections, and ii) flatten the running of the strong coupling and color-charged gaugino, resulting in a prominent collider signal from production of light gluino pairs. This well motivated theoretical framework maintains consistency with all key phenomenological constraints, and all residual parameterization freedom may in principle be fixed by a combination of the two experiments described. We project that the already collected luminosity of 5 fb^-1 may be sufficient to definitively establish the status of this model, given appropriate data selection cuts.
