Sub-TeV Singlino Dark Matter in light from Sagittarius A$^\ast$ and LUX-ZEPLIN Nuclear-Recoil Event

We investigate the impact of a dark matter density spike surrounding the Milky Way's supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the detectability of Singlino-dominated neutralino dark matter within the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). Similar density enhancements, or mini-spikes, around stellar-mass black holes (sBHs), have also been considered. Such a dark matter (DM) candidate typically produces weak indirect detection signals in conventional dark matter halos. Additionally, a Singlino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is very difficult to probe at the LHC or through the direct DM search experiments. On top of that, recent observation of the LUX-ZEPLIN 248 keV Nuclear-Recoil Event may hint towards a DM that can be accommodated by a Singlino with mass more than 200 GeV. Keeping these in consideration, we examine the prospects for detecting these sub-TeV dark matter scenarios through gamma-ray observations of the regions surrounding the SMBH Sgr A$^\ast$ and the sBH in the low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1118+480.

Diffuse Supernova Neutrinos with Secret Neutrino Interactions

The Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB), an isotropic flux arising from the cumulative neutrino emission of all stellar core-collapse events throughout cosmic history, is expected to be detected by next-generation neutrino observatories. As DSNB neutrinos propagate over cosmological distances through the cosmic neutrino background (C$ν$B), they may undergo non-standard neutrino self-interactions ($ν$SI), leaving distinct spectral imprints on the observed flux. In this work, we investigate the impact of scalar ($ϕ$)-mediated $ν$SI on the DSNB within a full three-flavor framework that retains the complete PMNS structure. We consider four representative flavor-diagonal coupling structures--universal, $e$-, $μ$-, and $τ$-specific. The resonant scattering $ν_iν_k\toϕ\toν_jν_l$ off the lightest, relativistic C$ν$B state produces broad spectral depletion whose pattern depends on the coupling structure and the neutrino mass ordering, generating distinctive signatures across the six flavor fluxes. We compute the resulting event spectra at JUNO, Hyper-Kamiokande with gadolinium loading, and DUNE, and derive projected $3σ$ sensitivities in the $(m_ϕ,~g)$ parameter plane. We find that these experiments can probe couplings as low as $g\sim10^{-8}$ for $m_ϕ\sim100$--$300$ eV, surpassing existing bounds by up to a few orders of magnitude in the sub-100 eV mass range. Moreover, unlike the flavor-blind cosmological and supernova bounds, the DSNB sensitivity is flavor-discriminating, offering a unique opportunity to identify the underlying flavor structure of $ν$SI in the event of a detection.

Constraints on lepton flavor universal and non-universal New Physics in $b\, \to\, s\, \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays: a global SMEFT survey

The flavor-changing neutral current semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons provide an excellent platform for indirectly probing New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios such as $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, and $R_ϕ$ are consistent with SM predictions, thereby reducing earlier hints of LFU violation. Nevertheless, notable tensions persist in individual branching fractions -- for instance $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+ μ^+ μ^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+ e^+ e^-)$, which deviate at the $4σ$--$5σ$ level in the low-$q^2$ region ($[1.1,6]$ GeV$^2$). Similarly, the angular observable $P'_5$ in $B \to K^{*} μ^+ μ^-$ shows a $3.3σ$ deviation, while $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to ϕμ^+ μ^-)$ departs from the SM by $3.6σ$. Although such discrepancies could in principle originate from underestimated hadronic effects, they may also indicate possible NP contributions. In this work, we perform a global fit to the latest $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ data within the framework of dimension-6 SMEFT operators. Our analysis systematically incorporates hadronic uncertainties from form factors, non-factorizable corrections, and input parameters, thereby providing a balanced assessment of the NP interpretation. We allow for NP contributions not only in $b \to s μ^+ μ^-$ transitions but also in $b \to s e^+ e^-$ channels, thus testing both lepton flavor universal (LFU) and lepton flavor universality violating (LFUV) NP scenarios. The interplay between these possibilities yields distinctive signatures in branching fractions, angular observables, and $Δ$-observables, offering a comprehensive view of the current flavor anomalies.

Constraining lepton flavor violating SMEFT $2q2\ell$ operators from low-energy cLFV processes

Charged lepton flavour-violating (cLFV) processes, which are definite proof of new physics beyond the Standard Model, have remained elusive experimentally till now. Effective Field Theory (EFT) has been very useful in providing information about such new physics through the higher-dimensional operators. These operators respect SM gauge invariance, and they are suppressed by appropriate powers of the energy scale $Λ$. In regard to lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes, the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) is shown to be a useful tool for estimating any new physics effect at the scale $Λ$. It is worth noticing that a large class of cLFV processes involve both quarks and leptons and thus low-energy observables play a significant role in providing bounds on lepton-flavour-violating 2-quark-2-lepton ($2q2\ell$) operators. Therefore, in this work, we have collected several low-energy cLFV processes that can be addressed within the SMEFT framework and also collected the set of operators responsible for such processes. Keeping in mind the correlation that exists among the SMEFT operators, we want to extract the strongest constraints on these $2q2\ell$ operators.

Implications of Sgr A$^\ast$ on the $γ$-rays searches of Bino Dark Matter with $(g-2)_μ$

We analyse the impact of dark matter density spike around the Milky Way's supermassive black hole (SMBH), Sgr A$^*$, in probing the Bino-dominated neutralino dark matter (DM) $\tilde χ_1^0$ within the MSSM, which typically produces relatively faint signals in the conventional DM halos. In particular, we explore the indirect search prospects of sub-TeV Bino-Higgsino and Bino-Wino-Higgsino DM in the MSSM, consistent with the supersymmetric predictions required to explain the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Typical over-abundance of Bino DM is ameliorated with slepton and/or Wino coannihilations. The lightest neutralino, thus, may be associated with a compressed supersymmetric particle spectrum, which, in general, is difficult to probe at conventional LHC searches. Similarly, for a rather tiny Higgsino mixing, $\tilde χ_1^0$ does not offer much prospect to assess its predictions at dark matter direct detection searches. Accommodating the inclusive effects of density spike, here, we present the requisite boost factor to facilitate $γ-$ray searches of Bino-dominated DM in the MSSM, especially focusing on the Fermi-LAT and HESS observations.

SMEFT analysis of charged lepton flavor violating $B$-meson decays

Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) processes, potentially important for various Beyond the Standard Model Physics scenarios are analyzed in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework. We consider the most relevant 2 quark-2 lepton $(2q2\ell)$ operators for the leptonic and semi-leptonic LFV B-decay (LFVBD) processes $B_s\to μ^+e^- , B^+\to K^+μ^+e^-, B^0\to K^{*0}μ^+ e^-, {\rm and}~ B_s\to ϕμ^-e^+$. We analyse the interplay among the Wilson coefficients responsible for these LFVBDs and other cLFV processes like $\rm CR (μ\to e)$, $\ell_i \to \ell_j γ$, $\ell_i \to\ell_j\ell_k\ell_m$ and $Z \to \ell_i \ell_j$, to find the maximal possible LFV effects in $B$-meson decays. We probe the scale of new physics in relation to the constraints imposed by both classes of the LFV decays while considering both the present bounds and future expectations. In view of proposed experiments at LHCb-II and Belle II to study charged LFV processes, we have also provided the upper limits on the indirect constraints on such LFVBDs. For the processes where $B$ meson is decaying to $μ^{\pm}$ and $e^{\mp}$, we show that new physics can be constrained by an enhancement of 2-4 orders of magnitude on the current sensitivities of the BRs of $B^+\to K^+μ^+e^-, B^0\to K^{*0}μ^+ e^- {\rm and}~ B_s\toϕμ^{\pm}e^{\mp}$.

Muon and Electron $(g-2)$ Anomalies with Non-Holomorphic Interactions in MSSM

The recent Fermilab muon $g-2$ result and the same for electron due to fine-structure constant measurement through ${}^{133}{\rm Cs}$ matter-wave interferometry are probed in relation to MSSM with non-holomorphic (NH) trilinear soft SUSY breaking terms, referred as NHSSM. Supersymmetric contributions to charged lepton $(g-2)_l$ can be enhanced via the new trilinear terms involving a wrong Higgs coupling with left and right-handed scalars. Unlike many MSSM based analyses, the model does not require a light electroweakino, or light sleptons, or unequal left and right slepton masses, or a very large higgsino mass parameter. The first part of the analysis involves $(g-2)_μ$ constraint along with limits from Higgs mass, B-physics, collider data, direct detection of dark matter (DM) while focusing on a higgsino DM which is underabundant in nature. We then impose the constraint from electron $g-2$ where a large Yukawa threshold corrections (an outcome of NHSSM) and opposite signs of trilinear NH coefficients associated with $μ$ and $e$ fields are used to satisfy the dual limits of $Δ{a_μ}$ and $Δ{a_e}$ (where the latter comes with negative sign). Varying Yukawa threshold corrections further provide the necessary flavor-dependent enhancement of $Δ{a_e}/m_e^2$ compared to that of $Δ{a_μ}/m_μ^2$. A larger Yukawa threshold correction through $A^\prime_e$ for $y_e$ also takes away the direct proportionality of $a_e$ with respect to $\tanβ$. With a finite intercept, $a_e$ becomes only an increasing function of $\tanβ$. We identified the available parameter space in the two cases while also applying the ATLAS data on slepton pair production in the plane of slepton mass parameter and the mass of the lightest neutralino.

Associated production of heavy Higgs bosons with a $b\bar{b}$ pair in the Nonholomorphic MSSM and LHC searches

In the NonHolomorphic Supersymmetric Standard Model (NHSSM), the Yukawa couplings of the bottom quark ($y_b$) and the tau lepton ($y_τ$) might receive substantial supersymmetric (SUSY) radiative corrections which have prominent dependencies on the NHSSM-specific trilinear soft parameters, $A_b^\prime$ and $A_τ^\prime$, respectively, in addition to their well-known dependence on $\tanβ$ as is already present in the Minimal SUSY Standard Model (MSSM). We study to what extent these could affect the production cross sections of the heavy Higgs bosons ($H$ and $A$) in association with a pair of $b$-quarks and their decay branching ratios, in particular, to a $τ\barτ$ pair and compare them with those obtained in the MSSM. Requiring compliance with the recently observed upper bounds on the product of their total cross-section and the branching ratio to $τ\barτ$ at the 13 TeV run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with data worth 139 fb$^{-1}$, results in an altered exclusion region in the customary $m_A-\tanβ$ plane in the framework of the NHSSM when compared to what is derived by the LHC experiments within an MSSM setup. Such alterations are estimated to be pronounced only for large $\tanβ$ ($\geq 40$) and for large, negative $A_b^\prime$ when one finds a reinforced exclusion of the $m_A-\tanβ$ plane with an excluded $m_A$ value larger by $\approx 200$ GeV, compared to the MSSM case, at $\tanβ=60$. On the other hand, the maximum relaxation in $m_A$, for a similarly large but positive $A_b^\prime$, barely exceeds $\approx 100$ GeV as a result of complementary variations in production cross-sections and decay branching fractions of the heavy, neutral Higgs bosons.

Probing Lepton Flavor Violating decays in MSSM with Non-Holomorphic Soft Terms

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 $A^{\prime l}_{ij}$. We first improve the MSSM charge breaking minima condition of the vacuum to include the off-diagonal entries $A^l_{ij}$ (with $i \neq j$). We further extend this analysis for non-holomorphic trilinear interactions. No other sources of lepton flavor violation like that from charged slepton matrices are considered. We constrain the interaction terms via the experimental limits of processes like charged leptons decaying with lepton flavor violation (LFV) and Higgs boson decaying to charged leptons with LFV. Apart from the leptonic decays we compute all the three neutral LFV Higgs boson decays of MSSM. We find that an analysis with non-vanishing $A^\prime_{eμ}$ involving the first two generations of sleptons receives the dominant constraint from $μ\to e γ$. On the other hand, $A^\prime_{eτ}$ or $A^\prime_{μτ}$ can be constrained from the CMS 13 TeV analysis giving limits to the respective Yukawa couplings via considering SM Higgs boson decaying into $eτ$ or $μτ$ final states. Contributions from $A^l_{ij}$ is too little to have any significance compared to the large effect from $A^{\prime l}_{ij}$.

Sbottoms as probes to MSSM with nonholomorphic soft interactions

Presence of nonholomorphic soft SUSY breaking terms is known to be a possibility in the popular setup of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). It has been shown that such a scenario known as NonHolomorphic Supersymmetric Standard Model (NHSSM) could remain `natural' ( i.e., not fine-tuned) even in the presence of a rather heavy higgsino-like LSP. However, it turns out that distinguishing such a scenario from the MSSM is unlikely to be an easy task, in particular at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a first study of such a scenario at colliders (LHC), we explore a possible way that focuses on the sbottom phenomenology. This exploits the usual $\tanβ$-dependence (enhancement) of the bottom Yukawa coupling but reinforced/altered in the presence of non-vanishing nonholomorphic soft trilinear parameter $A_b^{\prime}$. For a given set of masses of the sbottom(s) and the light electroweakinos (LSP, lighter chargino etc.) which are known from experiments, the difference between the two scenarios could manifest itself via event rate in the 2b-jets + ${\, \not \! \! E_T}$ final state, which could be characteristically different from its MSSM expectation. Impact on the phenomenology of the stops at the LHC is also touched upon.

Exploring Non-Holomorphic Soft Terms in the Framework of Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

It is known that in the absence of a gauge singlet field, a specific class of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking non-holomorphic (NH) terms can be soft breaking in nature so that they may be considered along with the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and beyond. There have been studies related to these terms in minimal supergravity based models. Consideration of an F-type SUSY breaking scenario in the hidden sector with two chiral superfields however showed Planck scale suppression of such terms. In an unbiased point of view for the sources of SUSY breaking, the NH terms in a phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) type of analysis showed a possibility of a large SUSY contribution to muon $g-2$, a reasonable amount of corrections to the Higgs boson mass and a drastic reduction of the electroweak fine-tuning for a higgsino dominated $\widetildeχ^0_1$ in some regions of parameter space. We first investigate here the effects of the NH terms in a low scale SUSY breaking scenario. In our analysis with minimal gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (mGMSB) we probe how far the results can be compared with the previous pMSSM plus NH terms based study. We particularly analyze the Higgs, stop and the electroweakino sectors focusing on a higgsino dominated $\widetildeχ^0_1$ and $\widetildeχ^{\pm}_1$, a feature typically different from what appears in mGMSB. The effect of a limited degree of RG evolutions and vanishing of the trilinear coupling terms at the messenger scale can be overcome by choosing a non-minimal GMSB scenario, such as one with a matter-messenger interaction.

How light a higgsino or a wino dark matter can become in a compressed scenario of MSSM

Higgsinos and Wino have strong motivations for being Dark Matter (DM) candidates in supersymmetry, but their annihilation cross sections are quite large. For thermal generation and a single component DM setup the higgsinos or wino may have masses of around 1 or 2-3 TeV respectively. For such DM candidates, a small amount of slepton coannihilation may decrease the effective DM annihilation cross section. This, in turn reduces the lower limit of the relic density satisfied DM mass by more than 50%. Almost a similar degree of reduction of the same limit is also seen for squark coannihilations. However, on the contrary, for near degeneracy of squarks and higgsino DM, near its generic upper limit, the associated coannihilations may decrease the relic density, thus extending the upper limit towards higher DM masses. We also compute the direct and indirect detection signals. Here, because of the quasi-mass degeneracy of the squarks and the LSP, we come across a situation where squark exchange diagrams may contribute significantly or more strongly than the Higgs exchange contributions in the spin-independent direct detection cross section of DM. For the higgsino-DM scenario, we observe that a DM mass of 600 GeV to be consistent with WMAP/PLANCK and LUX data for sfermion coannihilations. The LUX data itself excludes the region of 450 to 600 GeV, by a half order of magnitude of the cross-section, well below the associated uncertainty. The similar combined lower limit for a wino DM is about 1.1 TeV. There is hardly any collider bound from the LHC for squarks and sleptons in such a compressed scenario where sfermion masses are close to the mass of a higgsino/wino LSP.

Exploring viable vacua of the $Z_3$-symmetric NMSSM

We explore the vacua of the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) and their stability by going beyond the simplistic paradigm that works with a tree-level neutral scalar potential and adheres to some specific flat directions in the field space. Key effects are demonstrated by first studying the profiles of this potential under various circumstances of physical interest via a semi-analytical approach. The results thereof are compared to the ones obtained from a dedicated package like \veva ~which further incorporates the thermal effects to the potential. Regions of the phenomenological NMSSM (pNMSSM) parameter space that render the desired symmetry breaking (DSB) vacuum absolutely stable, long- or short-lived (in relation to the age of the Universe) under quantum/thermal tunneling are delineated. Regions that result in color and charge breaking (CCB) minima are also presented. It is demonstrated that light singlet scalars along with a light LSP (lightest supersymmetric particle) having an appreciable singlino admixture are compatible with a viable DSB vacuum and are much relevant for the collider experiments.

Probing Non-holomorphic MSSM via precision constraints, dark matter and LHC data

In this analysis we explore the phenomenological constraints of models with non-holomorphic soft SUSY breaking terms in a beyond the MSSM scenario having identical particle content. The model referred as NHSSM shows various promising features like the possibility of a strong reduction in electroweak fine-tuning even for a scenario of a heavy higgsino type of LSP, a fact that is unavailable in pMSSM models. The other important aspect is satisfying the muon $g-2$ data even for a small $\tanβ$ via a small value of coupling $A_μ'$ associated with the tri-linear non-holomorphic soft term. Thus, a large SUSY contribution to muon $g-2$ is possible even for a significantly large smuon mass $m_{\tilde {μ_1}}$. The Higgs mass radiative corrections are contributed by both the holomorphic and non-holomorphic trilinear soft parameters $A_t$ and $A_t'$, thus diluting the requirement to have a larger $A_t$ to satisfy the Higgs mass data. The model also provides with valid parameter space satisfying the constraint of $B \rightarrow X_s +γ$ for large values of $\tanβ$, a scenario unfavourable in pMSSM.

Status of the 98 - 125 GeV Higgs scenario with updated LHC-8 data

In the context of minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), we discuss the possibility of the lightest Higgs boson with mass $M_h = 98 $ GeV to be consistent with the $2.3σ$ excess observed at the LEP in the decay mode $e^+e^- \to Zh$, with $h \to b {\bar b}$. In the same region of the MSSM parameter space, the heavier Higgs boson $(H)$ with mass $M_H \sim 125 $ GeV is required to be consistent with the latest data on Higgs coupling measurements at the end of 7 + 8 TeV LHC run with $25{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data. While scanning the MSSM parameter space, we impose constraints coming from flavour physics, relic density of the cold dark matter as well as direct dark matter searches. We study the possibility of observing this light Higgs boson in vector boson fusion process and associated production with $W/Z$ boson at the high luminosity $(3000~{\rm fb}^{-1})$ run of the 14 TeV LHC. Our analysis shows that this scenario can hardly be ruled out even at the high luminosity run of the LHC. However, the precise measurement of the Higgs signal strength ratios can play a major role to distinguish this scenario from the canonical MSSM one.

Reduced LHC constraints for higgsino-like heavier electroweakinos

As a sequel to our earlier work on wino-dominated $\tilde χ_1^{\pm}$ and $\tilde χ_2^{0}$ (wino models), we focus on the pMSSM models where $\tilde χ_1^{\pm}$ and $\tilde χ_{2,3}^{0}$ are either higgsino dominated (higgsino models) or admixtures of significant amount of higgsino and wino components (mixed models), with or without light sleptons. The LHC constraints in the trilepton channel are significantly weaker even in the presence of light sleptons, especially in the higgsino models, compared to those mostly studied by the LHC collaborations with wino-dominated $\tilde χ_1^{\pm}$ and $\tilde χ_2^{0}$. The modes $\tilde χ_{2,3}^{0}\rightarrow h~\tildeχ_1^{0}$ with large branching ratios (BRs) are more common in the higgsino models and may produce spectacular signal in the LHC Run-II. In a variety of higgsino and mixed models we have delineated the allowed parameter space due to the LHC constraints, the observed Dark Matter (DM) relic density of the universe, which gets contributions from many novel DM producing mechanisms i.e., the annihilation/coannihilation processes that lead to the correct range of relic density, and the precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In the higgsino models many new DM producing mechanisms, which are not allowed in the wino models, open up. We have also explored the prospects of direct and indirect detection of DM in the context of the LUX and IceCube experiments respectively. In an extended model having only light gluinos in addition to the electroweak sparticles, the gluinos decay into final states with multiple taggable b-jets with very large BRs. As a consequence, the existing ATLAS data in the $0l$ + jets (3b) + $E\!\!\!\!/_T$ channel provide the best limit on $m_{\tilde g}$ ($\approx$ 1.3 TeV). Several novel signatures of higgsino models for LHC Run-II and ILC have been identified.

Higgsino Dark Matter in Nonuniversal Gaugino Mass Models

We study two simple and well motivated nonuniversal gaugino mass models, which predict higgsino dark matter. One can account for the observed dark matter relic density along with the observed Higgs boson mass of ~ 125 GeV over a large region of the parameter space of each model, corresponding to higgsino mass of ~ 1 TeV. In each case this parameter region covers the gluino mass range of 2-3 TeV, parts of which can be probed by the 14 TeV LHC experiments. We study these model predictions for LHC in brief and for dark matter detection experiments in greater detail.

Exploring MSSM for Charge and Color Breaking and Other Constraints in the Context of Higgs@125 GeV

Exploring MSSM parameter space after the discovery of Higgs Boson with mass 125 GeV naturally demands large top-squark mixing or large trilinear coupling parameter $A_t$ in particular, so as to avoid excessively heavy squark, specially for the universal models like CMSSM. We study stability of electroweak symmetry breaking vacua in possible presence of deeper charge-color symmetry breaking minima within MSSM. Besides stable vacua, we consider scenarios characterized by the presence of global CCB minima, with SM like charge and color conserving vacuum, having stability over cosmologically large lifetime {(\it long-lived states)}. We allow vacuum expectation values for both stop as well as sbottom fields, since these belong to the third generation of sfermions with larger Yukawa couplings that have immediate effect on the tunneling time. Moreover, for large $μ$ regions, radiative corrections to Higgs boson mass from bottom-squark loop is quite significant. Regions of MSSM parameters space become viable for large $A_t$ and large $μ$ zones which are generically excluded via the traditional analytical CCB constraints. For a large value of $\tanβ$, safe vacua associated with large values of $|μ|$ and $|A_t|$ are predominantly long-lived and may be associated with relatively light stop masses. We also identify low $μ$ regions associated with long-lived states. Both the above zones can be friendly to muon $g-2$ constraint. We also impose constraints from ${\rm Br}(B \rightarrow X_s γ)$ and ${\rm Br}(B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-)$. We do the analysis for a moderate and a large $\tanβ$. Results are compatible with dark matter related constraints, as expected.
