Likelihood and Naturalness of SUSY models after the Higgs discovery.

• D Ghilencea (NIPNE Bucharest and CERN)

Room: Main Auditorium I provide a comparative study of the likelihood and naturalness of the most popular SUSY models, consistent with recent LHC results for the Higgs. I show that if one regards the EW minimum conditions as constraints that fix the EW scale, the (constrained) likelihood of such models to fit the EW data is changed and is actually smaller (worse) than usually thought, being equal to the ratio L/Delta of the usual likelihood L and the traditional fine tuning measure ("in quadrature") Delta of the EW scale. Equivalently chi^2 receives a correction, so far ignored: chi^2_new=chi^2_old+2*Log[Delta]. As a result a large likelihood (or min chi^2/d.o.f.) actually demands a large ratio L/Delta, from which a model-independent bound is derived for the EW scale fine-tuning: Delta<<exp(d.o.f./2). Current SUSY models: CMSSM, NUHM1, NUHM2, NMSSM, MSSM with non-universal gaugino masses, are examined from this point of view for a Higgs mass near 126GeV, with conclusions for their viability. (d.o.f.=number of degrees of freedom). Based on: http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1208.0837, http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1203.0569.

CPT Violation in Early Universe and Leptogenesis/Baryogenesis

• Nikos Mavromatos (University of London (GB))

Room: Main Auditorium I will discuss ways by means of which CPT in early epochs of the Universe may be violated, leading initially to an asymmetry in the populations of leptons versus antileptons (Leptogenesis), which may then be communicated to the baryon sector (via Baryon-Lepton-number (B-L) conserving processes) to produce the observed Baryon Asymmetry (Baryogenesis). These include: space-time curvature/spin coupling in non-standard (Lorentz-violating) geometries of the early Universe, such as axisymmetric black-hole geometries and certain Bianchi cosmologies or propagation in stochastically fluctuating space-time geometries of Finsler type, geometries with Kalb-Ramond torsion backgrounds and D-brane defect foam. In all such models CPT Violation occurs as a result of different dispersion relations induced between particles and antiparticles in the above backgrounds. In the D-brane (quantum-gravity) foam model there is a preferential role of neutrinos in coupling with the foam, which is due to electric charge conservation for specifically stringy reasons. Such models may then serve as ways of generating baryongenesis from leptogenesis without the need for extra sources of CP violation.

Experimental status of Particle and Astroparticle searches for Supersymmetry

• Vasiliki Mitsou (IFIC Valencia (ES))

Room: Main Auditorium An overview of supersymmetry searches will be presented, covering collider experiments, direct and indirect searches for supersymmetric dark matter. Recent LHC and Tevatron experimental results will be reviewed, and the constraints from B-meson decays will be reported. Implications for supersymmetry of the latest direct and indirect searches will be thoroughly discussed. The focus will be on the complementarity of the various probes -particle and astrophysical- for constraining Supersymmetry.
