In this work we study implications of additional non-holomorphic soft breaking terms (µ , A t , A b and A τ ) on the MSSM phenomenology. By respecting the existing bounds on the mass measurements and restrictions coming from certain B-decays, we probe reactions of the MSSM to these additional soft breaking terms. We provide examples in which some slightly excluded solutions of the MSSM can be made to be consistent with the current experimental results. During this, even after applying additional fine-tuning constraints the non-holomorphic terms are allowed to be as large as hundreds of GeV. Such terms prove that they are capable of enriching the phenomenology and varying the mass spectra of the MSSM heavily, with a reasonable amount of fine-tuning.We observe that higgsinos, the lightest stop, the heavy Higgs boson states A, H, H ± , sbottom and stau exhibit the highest sensitivity to the new terms. We also show how the light stop can become nearly degenerate with top quark using these nonholomorphic terms.
We consider the Higgs boson mass in a class of the UMSSM models in which the MSSM gauge group is extended by an additional U (1) group. Implementing the universal boundary condition at the GUT scale we target phenomenologically interesting regions of UMSSM where the necessary radiative contributions to the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass are significantly small and LSP is always the lightest neutralino. We find that the smallest amount of radiative contributions to the Higgs boson mass is about 50 GeV in UMSSM, this result is much lower than that obtained in the MSSM framework, which is around 90 GeV. Additionally, we examine the Higgs boson properties in these models in order to check whether if it can behave similar to the SM Higgs boson under the current experimental constraints. We find that enforcement of smaller radiative contribution mostly restricts the U (1) breaking scale as v S 10 TeV. Besides, such low contributions demand h S ∼ 0.2 − 0.45. Because of the model dependency in realizing these radiative contributions θ E 6 < 0 are more favored, if one seeks for the solutions consistent with the current dark matter constraints. As to the mass spectrum, we find that stop and stau can be degenerate with the LSP neutralino in the range from 300 GeV to 700 GeV; however, the dark matter constraints restrict this scale as mt, mτ 500 GeV. Such degenerate solutions also predict stop-neutralino and stau-neutralino coannihilation channels, which are effective to reduce the relic abundance of neutralino down to the ranges consistent with the current dark matter observations. Finally, we discuss the effects of heavy M Z in the fine-tuning. Even though the radiative contributions are significantly low, the required fine-tuning can still be large. We comment about reinterpretation of the fine-tuning measure in the UMSSM framework, which can yield efficiently low results for the fine-tuning the electroweak scale.1
We discuss effective interactions among brane matter induced by modifications of higher dimensional Einstein gravity via the replacement of Einstein-Hilbert term with a generic function f (R) of the curvature scalar R. After deriving the graviton propagator, we analyze impact of virtual graviton exchanges on particle interactions, and conclude that f (R) gravity effects are best probed by high-energy processes involving massive gauge bosons, heavy fermions or the Higgs boson. We perform a comparative analysis of the predictions of f (R) gravity and of Arkani-HamedDvali-Dimopoulos (ADD) scenario, and find that the former competes with the latter when f (0) is positive and comparable to the fundamental scale of gravity in higher dimensions. In addition, we briefly discuss graviton emission from the brane as well as its decays into brane-localized matter, and find that they hardly compete with the ADD expectations. Possible existence of higher-curvature gravitational interactions in large extra spatial dimensions opens up various signatures to be confronted with existing and future collider experiments.
We explore the dark matter and LHC implications of t − b − τ quasi Yukawa unification in the framework of supersymmetric models based on the gauge symmetry G = SU (4) c × SU (2) L × SU (2) R . The deviation from exact Yukawa unification is quantified by a dimensionless parameter C (|C| 0.2), such that the Yukawa couplings at M GUT are related by y t : y b : y τ = |1+C| : |1−C| : |1+3C|. In contrast to earlier studies which focused on universal gaugino masses, we consider non-universal gaugino masses at M GUT that are compatible with the gauge symmetry G. We perform two independent scans of the fundamental parameter space, one of which employs ISAJET, while the other uses SoftSusy interfaced with SuperIso. These scans reveal qualitatively similar allowed regions in the parameter space, and yield a variety of neutralino dark matter scenarios consistent with the observations. These include stau and chargino coannihilation scenarios, the A−resonance scenario, as well as Higgsino dark matter solution which is more readily probed by direct detection searches. The gluino mass is found to be 4.2 TeV, the stop mass is 2 TeV, while the first two family squarks and sleptons are of order 4 − 5 TeV and 3 TeV respectively. 1
In this work, we present a Mathematica package Peng4BSM@LO which calculates the contributions to the Wilson Coefficients of certain effective operators originating from the one-loop penguin Feynman diagrams. Both vector and scalar external legs are considered. The key feature of our package is the ability to find the corresponding expressions in almost any New Physics model which extends the SM and has no flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions at the tree level.
