  1. Search for Supersymmetry

  2. Outline • Introduction to supersymmetry • Phenomenology of the CMSSM • Non-universal scalar masses? • Non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM) • Options for the LSP • Gravitino dark matter • New possibilities for collider phenomenology

  3. Loop Corrections to Higgs Mass2 • Consider generic fermion and boson loops: • Each is quadratically divergent: ∫Λd4k/k2 • Leading divergence cancelled if Supersymmetry! 2 ∙2

  4. Other Reasons to like Susy It enables the gauge couplings to unify It predicts mH < 150 GeV As suggested by EW data JE, Nanopoulos, Olive + Santoso: hep-ph/0509331 Approved by Fabiola Gianotti

  5. Astronomers say that most of the matter in the Universe is invisible Dark Matter Lightest Supersymmetric particles ? We shall look for them with the LHC

  6. Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of Standard Model (MSSM) • Particles + spartners • 2 Higgs doublets, coupling μ, ratio of v.e.v.’s = tan β • Unknown supersymmetry-breaking parameters: Scalar massesm0, gaugino massesm1/2, trilinear soft couplingsAλ, bilinear soft couplingBμ • Often assume universality: Singlem0, singlem1/2, singleAλ,Bμ: not string? • Called constrained MSSM = CMSSM • Minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) predicts additional relations for gravitino mass, supersymmetry breaking: m3/2 = m0,Bμ = Aλ – m0

  7. Lightest Supersymmetric Particle • Stable in many models because of conservation of R parity: R = (-1) 2S –L + 3B where S = spin, L = lepton #, B = baryon # • Particles have R = +1, sparticles R = -1: Sparticles produced in pairs Heavier sparticles  lighter sparticles • Lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) stable

  8. Possible Nature of LSP • No strong or electromagnetic interactions Otherwise would bind to matter Detectable as anomalous heavy nucleus • Possible weakly-interacting scandidates Sneutrino (Excluded by LEP, direct searches) Lightest neutralino χ Gravitino (nightmare for astrophysical detection)

  9. gμ - 2 Constraints on Supersymmetry • Absence of sparticles at LEP, Tevatron selectron, chargino > 100 GeV squarks, gluino > 250 GeV • Indirect constraints Higgs > 114 GeV, b -> s γ • Density of dark matter lightest sparticle χ: WMAP: 0.094 < Ωχh2 < 0.124

  10. Current Constraints on CMSSM Assuming the lightest sparticle is a neutralino Excluded because stau LSP Excluded by b  s gamma WMAP constraint on relic density Excluded (?) by latest g - 2 JE + Olive + Santoso + Spanos

  12. Sparticles may not be very light Full Model samples ← Second lightest visible sparticle Detectable @ LHC Provide Dark Matter Dark Matter Detectable Directly Lightest visible sparticle → JE + Olive + Santoso + Spanos

  13. Missing Energy Detection @ LHC Sensitive to missing transverse energy carried away by neutral particles: e.g., neutrinos, neutralinos

  14. Supersymmetry Searches at LHC LHC reach in supersymmetric parameter space `Typical’ supersymmetric Event at the LHC Can cover most possibilities for astrophysical dark matter

  24. Beyond the CMSSM

  25. More General Supersymmetric Models • MSSM with more general pattern of supersymmetry breaking: non-universal scalar masses m0 and/or gaugino masses m½ and/or trilinear couplings A0 • Nature of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) • Extended particle content: non-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM)

  26. Non-Universal Scalar Masses • Different sfermions with same quantum #s? e.g., d, s squarks? disfavoured by upper limits on flavour- changing neutral interactions • Squarks with different #s, squarks and sleptons? disfavoured in various GUT models e.g., dR = eL, dL = uL = uR = eR in SU(5), all in SO(10) • Non-universal susy-breaking masses for Higgses? No reason why not!

  27. Non-Universal Higgs Masses (NUHM) • Generalize CMSSM (+) mHi2 = m02(1 + δi) • Free Higgs mixing μ, pseudoscalar mass mA • Larger parameter space • Constrained by vacuum stability

  28. Sampling of (m1/2, m0) Planes in NUHM New vertical allowed strips appear JE + Olive + Santoso + Spanos

  29. Low-Energy Effective Supersymmetric Theory • Assume universality for sfermions with same quantum numbers (but different generations) • Require electroweak vacuum to be stable (RGE not → negative mass2) up to GUT scale (LEEST) up to 10 TeV (LEEST10) • Qualitatively similar to NUHM not much freedom to adjust squarks/sleptons

  30. Sparticles may not be very light Full Model samples ← Second lightest visible sparticle Detectable @ LHC Provide Dark Matter Dark Matter Detectable Directly Lightest visible sparticle → JE + Olive + Santoso + Spanos

  31. Gravitino Dark Matter?

  32. Possible Nature of LSP • No strong or electromagnetic interactions Otherwise would bind to matter Detectable as anomalous heavy nucleus • Possible weakly-interacting scandidates Sneutrino (Excluded by LEP, direct searches) Lightest neutralino χ Gravitino (nightmare for astrophysical detection)

  33. Possible Nature of NLSP • NLSP = next-to-lightest sparticle • Very long lifetime due to gravitational decay, e.g.: • Could be hours, days, weeks, months or years! • Generic possibilities: lightest neutralino χ lightest slepton, probably lighter stau • Constrained by astrophysics/cosmology

  36. Light Nuclei: BBN vs CMB Good agreement for D/H, 4He: discrepancy for 7Li? Observations Calculations Cyburt + Fields + Olive + Skillman

  37. Constraints on Unstable Relics • 7Li < BBN? • Effect of relic decays? • Problems with D/H • 3He/D too high! • Interpret as upper limits on abundance of metastable heavy relics JE + Olive + Vangioni
