SUSY II
- Howard Baer (University of Oklahoma)
We study a challenging signature in collider physics, that the final state contains soft and displaced tracks, with the help of the CMS Open Data. This signature is of particular interest since it corresponds to a well-motivated dark matter coannihilation regime. We propose to search for signals in monojet plus missing energy events, exploiting displaced vertices reconstructed from soft...
A scan of soft SUSY breaking parameters within the string theory landscape with the MSSM assumed as the low energy effective field theory– using a power-law draw to large soft terms coupled with an anthropic selection of a derived weak scale to be within a factor four of our measured value– predicts a peak probability of $m_h \simeq 125 \text{ GeV}$ with sparticles masses typically beyond the...
Clockwork models can explain the flavor hierarchies in the Standard Model quark and lepton spectrum.
We construct supersymmetric versions of such flavor clockwork models. The zero modes of the clockwork are identified with the fermions and sfermions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In addition to generating a hierarchical fermion spectrum, the clockwork also predicts a specific...
Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides elegant solutions to several problems in the Standard Model, and searches for SUSY particles are an important component of the LHC physics program. Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the gluons and third generation quarks with masses light enough to be produced at the LHC. This talk will present the latest results...
The latest results from searches for third generation supersymmetric particles with the CMS experiment will be presented. The analyses are based on the full dataset of pp collisions recorded at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV during the LHC Run 2.
The direct production of electroweak SUSY particles, including sleptons, charginos, and neutralinos, is a particularly interesting area with connections to dark matter and the naturalness of the Higgs mass. The small production cross sections lead to difficult searches, despite relatively clean final states. This talk will highlight the most recent results of searches performed by the ATLAS...
In the Standard Model, CP violation in the Electroweak sector is parametrized by the Jarlskog Invariant. This is the flavor invariant sensitive to CP violation with the least number of Yukawa matrices that can be built. When higher dimensional operators are allowed, and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory is constructed, numerous new sources for CP violation can appear. However, the...
