Supersymmetry after the Higgs discovery and its LHC phenomenology

Abstract

Under the minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM), the discrepancy in the muon g-2 suggests the SUSY particles are of order 100 GeV, which is also supported by discussions on the little hierarchy problem. However, the LHC experiments have found no scalar-quarks or gluinos in such mass range, and moreover, the Higgs boson mass of 126 GeV requires, within the MSSM framework, the scalar-top mass of order 1-10 TeV. This current status forces us to abandon the simplest supersymmetry-breaking frameworks of the CMSSM and the GMSB scenarios. The V-MSSM is investigated in this dissertation, which is proposed as an extension of the MSSM with a (10 + 10bar) pair of the SU(5) decuplets. In the framework the Higgs mass is increased by effect from the extra matters, and thus the 126 GeV is achieved with the scalar-top having a lighter mass. This fact resurrects the CMSSM and the GMSB scenarios. This dissertation examines the GMSB scenario under the V-MSSM; it is called V-GMSB scenario. It is shown that the V-GMSB has a potential to realize the 126 GeV mass of the Higgs boson with holding the explanation of the muon magnetic moment discrepancy, if the masses of the extra quarks are approximately less than 1.2 TeV. Constraints on the V-GMSB from the LHC experiments are discussed then; it is concluded that the gluino mass must be approximately heavier than 1.1 TeV, and that the extra quarks be heavier than 300-650 GeV depending on the decay branches of them. LHC prospects are briefly discussed. As the extra quarks are expected to be approximately less than 1.2 TeV, searches for the particles are of great interest at the 14 TeV LHC; constraints from the supersymmetry search, especially on the gluino mass, are expected to be much improved there. Therefore, it is expected that the fate of the V-GMSB is adjudicated at the court of the 14 TeV LHC.
