Natural supersymmetry at a muon collider

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Jessica Bolich +2

There is great interest within the particle physics community for building a collider with center-of-mass (CoM) energies ranging from 1-14 TeV. For Beyond-t…

Reach of e^+e^- Higgs factory for light higgsinos via electroweak precision observables and comparison with other future facilities

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Natsumi Nagata +1

Light higgsinos with mass ~100-400 GeV are well-motivated from naturalness considerations within supersymmetric models. However, at hadron colliders such as CERN LHC, they are rath…

Aspects of the WIMP quality problem and R-parity violation in natural supersymmetry with all axion dark matter

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Jessica Bolich +2

In supersymmetric models where the mu problem is solved via discrete R-symmetries, then both the global U(1)_{PQ} (Peccei-Quinn, needed to solve the strong CP problem) and R-parity…

All axion dark matter from supersymmetric models

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dibyashree Sengupta +1

Supersymmetric models accompanied by certain anomaly-free discrete R-symmetries Z_n^R are attractive in that 1. the R-symmetry (which can arise from compactified string theory as a…

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…

Implications of Higgs mass for hidden sector SUSY breaking

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Jessica Bolich +1

Hidden sector SUSY breaking where charged hidden sector fields obtain SUSY breaking vevs once seemed common in dynamical SUSY breaking (DSB). In such a case, scalars can obtain lar…
