Description

The No-Scale F-SU(5) model is built upon the tri-podal foundations of i) the Flipped SU(5) Grand Unified Theory, ii) extra TeV-scale vectorlike particle multiplets consistent with an F-Theory origin, and iii) the dynamic boundary conditions of No-Scale Supergravity. This model possesses the rather unique capacity to provide a light CP-even Higgs boson mass in the favored 124-126 GeV window while simultaneously retaining a testably light SUSY spectrum that is consistent with emerging low-statistics excesses beyond the Standard Model expectation in the ATLAS and CMS searches. We will review the model's construction and elucidate the mechanisms responsible for elevating the physical Higgs boson mass and generating a distinctive multijet enriched signature. A detailed comparison will be made between Monte Carlo collider-detector simulation of the No-Scale F-SU(5) model and the latest 8 TeV LHC results.
