Description

Rather general considerations from the string landscape imply a statistical draw to large soft terms which must be tempered by a pocket-universe derived value of the weak scale within the ABDS window. The statistical approach realizes Douglas' notion of stringy naturalness leading to mh~125 GeV and sparticles somewhat or well beyond present LHC search limits. Light higgsinos ~100-350 GeV are expected and may emerge at LHC via soft dilepton signatures from higgsino pair production. As for dark matter, we expect mainly DFSZ SUSY axions along with a smattering of higgsino-like WIMPs.
