SUSY II
- Adam Martin
The aim of this talk is to report progress in the exploration of a class of models of the supersymmetry breaking parameters of the MSSM known as flavored gauge mediation models, in which the Higgs and doublet messengers exhibit mixing that is controlled by a discrete non-Abelian symmetry. The discrete non-Abelian symmetry (here chosen to be S_3 for concreteness) may also play a role as part of...
Towards a further exploration of a class of flavored gauge mediation models of supersymmetry breaking in which the mixing of the Higgs and messenger doublets are connected by a discrete non-Abelian symmetry, we investigate the generation of nontrivial mass hierarchies and mixing angles for the Standard Model matter fields. We consider here the case in which the Higgs-messenger symmetry, given...
In a fertile patch of the string landscape which includes the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as the low energy effective theory, rather general arguments from Douglas suggest a power-law statistical selection of soft breaking terms ($m_{soft}^n$ where $n=2n_F+n_D-1$ with $n_F$ the number of hidden sector $F$-SUSY breaking fields and $n_D$ the number of $D$-term SUSY breaking...
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can be extended to include non-holomorphic trilinear soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking interactions that may have distinct signatures. We consider non-vanishing off-diagonal entries of the coupling matrices associated with holomorphic (of MSSM) and non-holomorphic trilinear terms corresponding to sleptons with elements $A^l_{ij}$ and $A^{\prime...
I study supersymmetric models in which the QCD gauge group is the remnant diagonal subgroup from the spontaneous breaking of an SU(3)×SU(3) gauge group at a multi-TeV scale. In renormalizable models with soft supersymmetry breaking, the scalar potential is shown to have global minima with the required gauge symmetry breaking pattern. In addition to a massive color octet vector boson, this...
We show that both 𝑅𝐷(∗) and 𝑅𝐾(∗) flavor anomalies can be addressed in a minimal 𝑅-parity violating supersymmetric scenario, motivated by Higgs naturalness that requires relatively light third-generation sfermions. Interestingly, this scenario may also be able to accommodate two other seemingly disparate anomalies, namely, muon (𝑔−2) and anomalous upgoing ultra-high energy cosmic ray air...
We review a dark matter scenario which is ideal in many respects [1-4], and which appears to be supported by recent analyses of observations from major satellite experiments, which can provide indirect detection of dark matter particles resulting from their annihilation in space. In this scenario, with both supersymmetry and an extended Higgs sector, there is a doubly rich plethora of new...
