We perform a Bayesian model selection analysis in the the R-parity conserving MSSM to compare two different assumptions: whether the lightest neutralinos make all or only part of the cold dark matter. This corresponds to either imposing…
A complete phenomenological study of the next-to-lightest neutralino decays is performed in the MSSM. The widths and branching ratios for all the possible decay channels (including the radiative decay X0(2) --> X0(1) gamma and the decay…
We investigate the dark matter constraints for the nonminimal SUSY standard model (NMSSM). The cosmologically restricted mass spectra of the NMSSM are compared to the minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM). The differences of the two models…
We analyze the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model with mu>0 supplemented by a generalized `asymptotic' Yukawa coupling quasi-unification condition, which allows an acceptable b-quark mass. We impose constraints from the cold…
We place perturbative unitarity constraints on both the dimensionful and dimensionless couplings in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Higgs Sector. These constraints, plus the requirement that the singlino and/or Higgsino…
A comologically stable neutral component from a nearly pure $SU(2)$ doublet, with a mass $\sim$1.1 TeV, is one appealing candidate for dark matter (DM) consistent with all direct dark matter searches. We have explored this possibility in…
Vacuum stability implies a lower limit on the mass of the higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM). In contrast, an upper limit on the lightest higgs mass can be calculated in supersymmetric (susy) models. The main uncertainty in each limit…
We calculate an upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the supersymmetric singlet majoran model containing SU(2) X U(1) singlet right handed neutrino fields and a chiral singlet having two units of lepton number. We show that…
Searches for charginos, neutralinos and sleptons at LEP2 centre-of-mass energies from 130 GeV to 189 GeV have been used to set lower limits on the mass of the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and other supersymmetric particles within the…
The origin of R-parity in supersymmetric models can be explained if \BL is part of the gauge group. We discuss the mass spectrum of the minimal $U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{B-L}$ model based on a GUT implementation using CMSSM-like boundary…
We analyse the naturalness of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the light of recent LHC results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments. We study non-universal boundary conditions for the scalar and the gaugino sector, with…
The supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model offers a promising cold dark matter candidate, the lightest neutralino. I will review the prospects for the detection of this candidate in both accelerator and direct detection searches.
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) the masses of the neutralinos and charginos depend on the gaugino and higgsino mass parameters M, M' and $\mu$. If supersymmetry is realized, the extraction of these parameters from future…
We perform a renormalisation group analysis of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) based on the following constraints: two-loop gauge coupling unification at a variable scale $M_X$, running the gauge couplings through…
The masses of the neutral CP-even Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) are predicted on the basis of explicit Feynman-diagrammatic calculations. The results, containing the complete diagrammatic one-loop…
In the constrained MSSM one is typically able to restrict the supersymmetric mass spectra below roughly 1-2\tev\ {\em without} resorting to the ambiguous fine-tuning constraint.
We set an upper limit on the mass of a supersymmetric neutralino dark matter particle using the MicrOMEGAS and DarkSUSY software packages and the most recent constraints on relic density from combined WMAP and SDSS data. We explore several…
In this lectures, we give a review about the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with $R$-Parity Violation because it provides an attractive way to generate neutrino masses, lepton mixing angles in acconcordance to present neutrino…
The interplay between the LHC and the $e^+ e^-$ International Linear Collider (ILC) with $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV might be crucial for the discrimination between the minimal and next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. We present an NMSSM…
We study the toroidal dipole moment of the lightest neutralino in the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The toroidal dipole moment is the only electromagnetic property of the neutralino. Since the neutralino is the LSP in…
