Implications of low and high energy measurements on SUSY models
Abstract
New Physics searches at the LHC have increased significantly lower bounds on unknown particle masses. This increases quite dramatically the tension in the interpretation of the data: low energy precision data which are predicted accurately by the SM (LEP observables like M_W or loop induced rare processes like B --> X_s gamma or B_s --> mu+mu-) and quantities exhibiting an observed discrepancy between SM theory and experiment, most significantly found for the muon g-2, seem to be in conflict now. (g-2)_mu appears to be the most precisely understood observable which at the same time reveals a 3-4 sigma deviation between theory and experiment and thus requires a significant new physics contribution. The hints for a Higgs of mass about 125 GeV, which is precisely what SUSY extensions of the SM predict, seem to provide a strong indication for SUSY. At the same time it brings into serious trouble the interpretation of the (g-2)_mu deviation as a SUSY contribution.
