By means of general kinematical arguments, the lifetime $\tau$ of a graviton of energy $E$ for decay into gravitons is found to have the form $\tau^{-1} = \frac{1}{EG} \sum_{j=1,2,...} c_j (\Lambda G)^j$. Some recent, preliminary results of…
Sleptons, neutralinos and charginos were searched for in the context of scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino. It was assumed that the stau is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle. Data collected with…
We investigate the possibility of probing high reheating temperature scenarios at the LHC, in supersymmetric models where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle, and the stau is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle.…
We have studied the detection of long-lived staus at the IceCube neutrino telescope, after their production inside the Earth through the inelastic scattering of high energy neutrinos. The theoretical predictions for the stau flux are…
A generic feature of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models is that the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). In order not to overclose the universe, the gravitino LSP should be light enough (~ 1 keV), or…
We consider super-gravity models in which the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a stable gravitino. The next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) freezes out with its thermal relic density and then decays after…
Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (GMSB) models provide a possible mechanism to mediate Supersymmetry to the visible sector. In these models the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is usually the gravitino, while the next-to-lightest…
The axino and the gravitino are well-motivated candidates for the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and also for cold dark matter in the Universe. Assuming that a charged slepton is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP),…
We investigate the phenomenology of the gravitino dark matter scenario with a stau as the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle at the LHC. For a wide range of gravitino masses the lighter stau is stable on the scale of a detector and…
We study the lifetimes of TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons (Majorana neutrinos) that appear in a model suggested by Okamura et al. [2]. We develop a convenient way to parametrize the neutrino mass texture of the model, and illustrate our…
Pair-production of the superpartner of the $\tau$-lepton, the $\tilde{\tau}$, is one of the most interesting channels to search for SUSY in: The $\tilde{\tau}$ is likely to be the lightest scalar lepton, and the signature of $\tilde{\tau}$…
F-theory GUT models favor a relatively narrow range of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters in the MSSM Lagrangian. This leads to the specific predictions that a 10-100 MeV mass gravitino is the LSP, and the NLSP is quasi-stable, with a…
A measurement of the lifetime of the tau lepton has been made using a sample of 1671 $Z^0\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-$ decays collected by the SLD detector at SLC. The measurement benefits from the small and stable collision region at SLC and…
Gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking models provide a strong motivation to search for a supersymmetric partner of the tau lepton (stau) with a macroscopic lifetime. Long-lived stau decays produce tau leptons that are displaced from the…
The tau lepton's supersymmetric partner, the stau, appears in some models as the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle. Their decay process into the lightest superpartner is usually suppressed by supersymmetry breaking, which makes it a…
The `$\mu$ from $\nu$' supersymmetric standard model ($\mu\nu$SSM) solves the $\mu$ problem of supersymmetric models and reproduces neutrino data, simply using couplings with the three families of right-handed neutrinos $\nu$'s. Novel…
We consider heavy stable neutral particles in the context of supergravity and show that a gravitationally suppressed inflaton decay can produce such particles in cosmologically interesting abundances within a wide mass range $10^3 {\rm GeV}…
If supersymmetry is spontaneously at a low energy scale then the resulting gravitino would be very light. The interaction strength of the longitudinal components of such a light gravitino to electron-selectron pair then becomes comparable…
A study of the sensitivity of the CLIC ILD detector model for massive long-lived particles produced in the decay of the Higgs boson is presented, using a data sample of $e^+e^-$ collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV and 3 TeV,…
We show that in the case of small R-parity and lepton number breaking couplings, primordial nucleosynthesis, thermal leptogenesis and gravitino dark matter are naturally consistent for gravitino masses m_{3/2} \gsim 5 GeV. We present a…
