Rule Out

The constraints imposed on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) parameter space by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Higgs mass limit and gluino mass lower bound are revisited. We also analyze the thermal relic abundance of lightest neutralino, which is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP). We show that the combined LHC and relic abundance constraints rule out most of the MSSM parameter space except a very narrow region with very largetan⁡β  (~50). Within this region, we emphasize that the spin-independent scattering cross section of the LSP with a proton is less than the latest Large Underground Xenon (LUX) limit by at least two orders of magnitude. Finally, we argue that nonthermal Dark Matter (DM) scenario may relax the constraints imposed on the MSSM parameter space. Namely, the following regions are obtained:m0≃O(4) TeV andm1/2≃600 GeV for lowtan⁡β  (~10);m0~m1/2≃O(1) TeV orm0≃O(4) TeV andm1/2≃700 GeV for largetan⁡β  (~50).

Motivated by the naturalness, we study a simplified Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) scenario where only the bino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and higgsino-like next-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) are light. We first scan the parameter space of this scenario, considering the constraints from the Higgs mass, flavor physics, electroweak precision measurements and dark matter experiments. Then in the allowed parameter space, we perform a Monte Carlo simulation for the [Formula: see text] production followed by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. By examining the presently available trilepton bounds on the wino-like chargino/neutralino, we find that only a narrow region [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on the plane of [Formula: see text] can be excluded. Finally, we explore the potential of trilepton signature in probing such a scenario at 14 TeV Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and find that the region with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be covered at [Formula: see text] level with luminosity [Formula: see text].

The Aesthetic

Why continue looking for supersymmetry? Over and above the aesthetic and theoretical motivations from string theory, there are several longstanding pheno- menological motivations for TeV-scale super- symmetry, such as the electroweak scale, and the lightest supersymmetric particle as cold dark matter. Run 1 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has actually provided three extra motivations, namely the stabilization of the electroweak vacuum, and successful predictions for the Higgs mass and couplings. How to look for it? There are several examples of emergent supersymmetry, the most recent being on the surfaces of topological insulators, and some sort of effective supersymmetry could be useful for boosting the power of laser arrays. At the LHC, attention is moving towards signatures that had previously been neglected, such as long-lived charged particles—which might be an opportunity for the MoEDAL experiment. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Topological avatars of new physics’.

A survey of the mSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space is presented. The viable regions of the parameter space which satisfy standard experimental constraints are identified and discussed. These constraints include a 124–127 GeV mass for the lightest CP-even Higgs and the correct relic density for cold dark matter. The superpartner spectra corresponding to these regions fall within the well-known hyperbolic branch and are found to possess sub-TeV neutralinos and charginos, with mixed Bino/Higgsino LSP's with 200–800 GeV masses. In addition, the models possess ~3–4 TeV gluino masses and heavy squarks and sleptons with masses [Formula: see text]. Spectra with a Higgs mass mh≅125 GeV and a relic density 0.105 ≤ Ωχ0h2≤ 0.123 are found to require EWFT at around the one-percent level, while those spectra with a much lower relic density require EWFT of only a few percent. Moreover, the spin-independent neutralino–proton direct detection cross-sections are found to be below or within the XENON100 2σ limit and should be experimentally accessible now or in the near future. Finally, it is pointed out that the supersymmetry breaking soft terms corresponding to these regions of the mSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space (m0∝ m1/2with [Formula: see text] and A0= -m1/2) may be obtained from general flux-induced soft terms in Type IIB flux compactifications with D3 branes.

The aim of this paper is to explore the possibility of discovering a fermionic field with mass dimension one, the Elko field, in the Large Hadron Collider. Due to its mass dimension, an Elko can only interact either with Standard Model spinors and gauge fields at one-loop order or at tree level through a quartic interaction with the Higgs field. In this Higgs portal scenario, the Elko is a viable candidate to a dark matter constituent which has been shown to be compatible with relic abundance measurements from WMAP and direct dark matter searches. We propose a search strategy for this dark matter candidate in the channel [Formula: see text] at the [Formula: see text] LHC. We show the LHC potential to discover the Elko considering a triple Higgs–Elkos coupling as small as ~0.5 after 1 ab-1 of integrated luminosity. Some phenomenological consequences of this new particle and its collider signatures are also discussed.

We review moduli stabilization in type IIB string theory compactification with fluxes. We focus on KKLT and Large Volume Scenario (LVS). We show that the predicted soft SUSY breaking terms in KKLT model are not phenomenological viable. In LVS, the following result for scalar mass, gaugino mass, and trilinear term is obtained:m0=m1/2=-A0=m3/2, which may account for Higgs mass limit ifm3/2~O(1.5) TeV. However, in this case, the relic abundance of the lightest neutralino cannot be consistent with the measured limits. We also study the cosmological consequences of moduli stabilization in both models. In particular, the associated inflation models such as racetrack inflation and Kähler inflation are analyzed. Finally, the problem of moduli destabilization and the effect of string moduli backreaction on the inflation models are discussed.

Dark Matter Model

Abstract We explore a simple extension to the Standard Model containing two gauge singlets: a Dirac fermion and a real pseudoscalar. In some regions of the parameter space both singlets are stable without the necessity of additional symmetries, then becoming a possible two-component dark matter model. We study the relic abundance production via freeze-out, with the latter determined by annihilations, conversions and semi-annihilations. Experimental constraints from invisible Higgs decay, dark matter relic abundance and direct/indirect detection are studied. We found three viable regions of the parameter space, and the model is sensitive to indirect searches.

AbstractWe explore regions of parameter space that give rise to suppressed direct detection cross sections in a simple model of scalar dark matter with a scalar portal that mixes with the standard model Higgs. We found that even this simple model allows considerable room in the parameter space that has not been excluded by direct detection limits. A number of effects leading to this result have been previously noted. Our main new result explores interference effects between different contributions to DM annihilation when the DM mass is larger than the scalar portal mass. New annihilation channels open up and the parameters of the model need to compensate to give the correct DM relic abundance, resulting in smaller direct detection cross sections. We find that even in a very simple model of DM there are still sizeable regions of parameter space that are not ruled out by experiment.

AbstractWe explore a missing-partner model based on the minimal SU(5) gauge group with $$\mathbf{75} $$ 75 , $$\mathbf{50} $$ 50 and $$\overline{\mathbf{50 }}$$ 50 ¯ Higgs representations, assuming a super-GUT CMSSM scenario in which soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are universal at some high scale $$M_{\mathrm{in}}$$ M in above the GUT scale $$M_{\mathrm{GUT}}$$ M GUT . We identify regions of parameter space that are consistent with the cosmological dark matter density, the measured Higgs mass and the experimental lower limit on $$\tau (p \rightarrow K^+ \nu )$$ τ ( p → K + ν ) . These constraints can be satisfied simultaneously along stop coannihilation strips in the super-GUT CMSSM with $$\tan \beta \sim $$ tan β ∼ 3.5–5 where the input gaugino mass $$m_{1/2} \sim $$ m 1 / 2 ∼ 15–25 TeV, corresponding after strong renormalization by the large GUT Higgs representations between $$M_{\mathrm{in}}$$ M in and $$M_{\mathrm{GUT}}$$ M GUT to $$m_{\mathrm{LSP}}, m_{{\tilde{t}}_1} \sim $$ m LSP , m t ~ 1 ∼ 2.5–5 TeV and $$m_{{\tilde{g}}} \sim $$ m g ~ ∼ 13–20 TeV, with the light-flavor squarks significantly heavier. We find that $$\tau (p \rightarrow K^+ \nu ) \lesssim 3 \times 10^{34}$$ τ ( p → K + ν ) ≲ 3 × 10 34  years throughout the allowed range of parameter space, within the range of the next generation of searches with the JUNO, DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande experiments.

The Impact

The inert Zee model is an extension of the Zee model for neutrino masses. This new model explains the dark matter relic abundance, generates a one-loop neutrino masses and forbids tree-level Higgs-mediated flavor changing neutral currents. Although the dark matter phenomenology of the model is similar to that of the inert doublet model, the presence of new vector-like fermions opens the lepton portal as a new dark matter annihilation channel. We study the impact of this new portal in the low-mass regime and show the parameter space allowed by direct and indirect searches of dark matter. Remarkably, the region for [Formula: see text] GeV is recovered for [Formula: see text]. We also show that future experiments like LZ and DARWIN could probe a large region of the parameter space of the model.

Abstract We study the possibility that Dark Matter (DM) is made of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMP) interacting just gravitationally with the Standard Model particles in the framework of a Clockwork/Linear Dilaton (CW/LD) model. We restrict here to the case in which the DM particles are scalar fields. This paper extends our previous study of FIMP’s in Randall-Sundrum (RS) warped extra-dimensions. As it was the case in the RS scenario, also in the CW/LD model we find a significant region of the parameter space in which the observed DM relic abundance can be reproduced with scalar DM mass in the MeV range, with a reheating temperature varying from 10 GeV to 109 GeV. We comment on the similarities of the results in both extra-dimensional models.
