The LUX-ZEPLIN Event as Hyperfine Spectroscopy of Composite Dark Matter

Jie Sheng, Kairui Zhang

We propose that the nuclear-recoil candidate reported by LUX--ZEPLIN can arise from the endothermic hyperfine excitation of composite dark matter. Rather than r…

Natural SUSY with mixed axion/axino dark matter

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Kairui Zhang

While supersymmetric models provide a solution to the big hierarchy problem, natural SUSY is also allowed by the little hierarchy problem. In supersymmetric models which include th…

pMSSM versus complete models and the excellent prospects for top-squark discovery at HL-LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Kairui Zhang

LHC sparticle search limits are usually performed within the context of simplified models and subsequently interpreted within the 19 parameter phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) as to h…

Supersymmetry at High Luminosity LHC

Kairui Zhang

Weak-scale supersymmetry (SUSY) is well motivated as a technically natural solution to the gauge hierarchy problem. LHC limits on superpartners, however, have sharpened the Little…

WIMP Dark Matter from a Natural Discrete Gauge Symmetry in the Standard Model

Jie Sheng, Tsutomu T. Yanagida, Kairui Zhang

The internal structure of the Standard Model implies a natural discrete gauge symmetry. Cancellation of the corresponding Dai--Freed anomalies re…

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…

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…

Living dangerously with decoupled first/second generation scalars: SUSY prospects at the LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Kairui Zhang

The string landscape statistical draw to large scalar soft masses leads to a mixed quasi-degeneracy/decoupling solution to the SUSY flavor and CP problems where first/second genera…

Testable Flavored TeV-scale Resonant Leptogenesis with MeV-GeV Dark Matter in a Neutrinophilic 2HDM

Peisi Huang, Kairui Zhang

We explore flavored resonant leptogenesis embedded in a neutrinophilic 2HDM. Successful leptogenesis is achieved by the very mildly degenerate two heavier right-handed neutrinos (R…

Decoding the gaugino code, naturally, at high-lumi LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Kairui Zhang

Natural supersymmetry with light higgsinos is most likely to emerge from the string landscape since the volume of scan parameter space shrinks to tiny volumes for electroweak unnat…

Stau pairs from natural SUSY at high luminosity LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Kairui Zhang

Natural supersymmetry (SUSY) with light higgsinos is perhaps the most plausible of all weak scale SUSY models while a variety of motivations point to (right) tau sleptons as the li…

Winos from natural SUSY at the high luminosity LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Xerxes Tata +1

In natural supersymmetric models defined by no worse than a part in thirty electroweak fine-tuning, winos and binos are generically expected to be much heavier than higgsinos. More…

Top squarks from the landscape at high luminosity LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Juhi Dutta +2

Supersymmetric models with low electroweak finetuning are expected to be more prevalent on the string landscape than finetuned models. We assume a fertile patch of landscape vacua…

Prospects for charged Higgs bosons in natural SUSY models at the high-luminosity LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Xerxes Tata +1

We continue our examination of prospects for discovery of heavy Higgs bosons of natural SUSY (natSUSY) models at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), this time focussing on charged Hi…

Detecting heavy neutral SUSY Higgs bosons decaying to sparticles at the high-luminosity LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Xerxes Tata +1

In supersymmetry (SUSY) models with low electroweak naturalness (natSUSY), which have been suggested to be the most likely version of SUSY to emerge from the string landscape, higg…

Prospects for heavy neutral SUSY Higgs scalars in the hMSSM and natural SUSY at LHC upgrades
