Impact of recent measurement of $(g-2)_\mu$, LHC search for supersymmetry, and LZ experiment on Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

Abstract

Motivated by the recent measurement of muon anomalous magnetic moment at Fermilab, the rapid progress of the LHC search for supersymmetry, and the significantly improved sensitivities of dark matter direct detection experiments, we studied their impacts on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We conclude that higgsino mass should be larger than about $500~{\rm GeV}$ for $M_1 < 0 $ and $630~{\rm GeV}$ for $M_1 > 100~{\rm GeV}$, where $M_1$ denotes the bino mass. These improved bounds imply a tuning of ${\cal{O}}(1\%)$ to predict the $Z$-boson mass and simultaneously worsen the naturalness of the $Z$- and $h$-mediated resonant annihilations to achieve the measured dark matter density. We also conclude that the LHC restrictions have set lower bounds on the sparticle mass spectra: $ m_{\tilde{\chi}_1^0} \gtrsim 210~{\rm GeV}$, $m_{\tilde{\chi}_2^0}, m_{\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm} \gtrsim 235~{\rm GeV}$, $m_{\tilde{\chi}_3^0} \gtrsim 515~{\rm GeV}$, $m_{\tilde{\chi}_4^0} \gtrsim 525~{\rm GeV}$, $m_{\tilde{\chi}_2^\pm} \gtrsim 530~{\rm GeV}$, $m_{\tilde{\nu}_\mu} \gtrsim 235~{\rm GeV}$, $ m_{\tilde{\mu}_1} \gtrsim 215~{\rm GeV}$, and $m_{\tilde{\mu}_2} \gtrsim 250~{\rm GeV}$, where $\tilde{\chi}_{2}^0$ and $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ are wino-dominated when they are lighter than about $500~{\rm GeV}$. These bounds are far beyond the reach of the LEP experiments in searching for supersymmetry and have not been acquired before. In addition, we illuminate how some parameter spaces of the MSSM have been tested at the LHC and provide five scenarios in which the theory coincides with the LHC restrictions. Once the muon g-2 anomaly is confirmed to originate from supersymmetry, this research may serve as a guide to explore the characteristics of the MSSM in future experiments.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
