Prospects for supersymmetry at high luminosity LHC
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Jessica Bolich +5
Weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY) is highly motivated in that it provides a 't Hooft technically natural solution to the gauge hierarchy problem. However, recent strong limits from s…
Weak scale supersymmetry emergent from the string landscape
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dakotah Martinez +1
Superstring flux compactifications can stabilize all moduli while leading to an enormous number of vacua solutions, each leading to different laws of physics. While the strin…
On practical naturalness and its implications for weak scale supersymmetry
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dakotah Martinez +1
We revisit the various measures of naturalness for models of weak scale supersymmetry including 1. electroweak (EW) naturalness, 2. naturalness via sensitivity to high scale parame…
Report of the Topical Group on Physics Beyond the Standard Model at Energy Frontier for Snowmass 2021
Tulika Bose, Antonio Boveia, Caterina Doglioni +318
This is the Snowmass2021 Energy Frontier (EF) Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) report. It combines the EF topical group reports of EF08 (Model-specific explorations), EF09 (More gen…
TF08 Snowmass Report: BSM Model Building
Patrick J. Fox, Graham D. Kribs, Hitoshi Murayama +53
We summarize the state of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) model building in particle physics for Snowmass 2021, focusing mainly on several whitepaper contributions to BSM model bui…
Fine-tuned vs. natural supersymmetry: what does the string landscape predict?
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dakotah Martinez +1
A vast array of (metastable) vacuum solutions arise from string compactifications, each leading to different 4-d laws of physics. The space of these solutions, known as the string…
Mini-review: Expectations for supersymmetry from the string landscape
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +1
In this mini-review, we summarize a variety of findings pertaining to consequences of the landscape of string theory for supersymmetry (SUSY) phenomenology. The idea is to adopt th…
Radiative natural supersymmetry emergent from the string landscape
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dakotah Martinez +1
In string theory with flux compactifications, anthropic selection for structure formation from a discretuum of vacuum energy values provides at present our only understanding of th…
Sparticle and Higgs boson masses from the landscape: dynamical versus spontaneous supersymmetry breaking
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +1
Perturbative supersymmetry breaking on the landscape of string vacua is expected to favor large soft terms as a power-law or log distribution, but tempered by an anthropic veto of…
Landscape Higgs and sparticle mass predictions from a logarithmic soft term distribution
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +1
Recent work on calculating string theory landscape statistical predictions for the Higgs and sparticle mass spectrum from an assumed power-law soft term distribution yields an expe…
The LHC higgsino discovery plane for present and future SUSY searches
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +2
Considerations from electroweak naturalness and stringy naturalness imply a little hierarchy in supersymmetric models where the superpotential higgsino mass parameter mu is of orde…
A string landscape guide to soft SUSY breaking terms
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +1
We examine several issues pertaining to statistical predictivity of the string theory landscape for weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY). We work within a predictive landscape wherein s…
Midi-review: Status of weak scale supersymmetry after LHC Run 2 and ton-scale noble liquid WIMP searches
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +2
While LHC has discovered a very Standard Model-like Higgs boson of mass m_h~ 125 GeV, no solid signal for physics beyond the Standard Model has emerged so far at LHC or at WIMP sea…
Naturalness versus stringy naturalness (with implications for collider and dark matter searches)
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam
The notion of stringy naturalness-- that an observable O_2 is more natural than O_1 if more (phenomenologically acceptable) vacua solutions lead to O_2 rather than O_1-- is examine…
LHC SUSY and WIMP dark matter searches confront the string theory landscape
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Shadman Salam +2
The string theory landscape of vacua solutions provides physicists with some understanding as to the magnitude of the cosmological constant. Similar reasoning can be applied to the…
