The presence of a light b-squark (with mass about 4 GeV) and gluino (with mass about 15 GeV) might explain the observed excess in b-quark production at the Tevatron. Though provocative, this model is not excluded by present data. The light…
Light higgsinos below several hundred GeV are favored or required by the naturalness of low energy supersymmetry. If only higgsinos are light while other sparticles are sufficiently heavy, we have the so-called light higgsino scenario.…
Precision gauge coupling unification is one of the primary quantitative successes of low energy or split supersymmetry. Preserving this success puts severe restrictions on possible matter and gauge sectors that might appear at…
The presence of two light higgsinos nearly degenerate in mass is one of the important characteristics of suspersymmetric models meeting the naturalness criteria. Probing such higgsinos at the LHC is very challenging, in particular when the…
It has been widely known that bino-like dark matter in the supersymmetric (SUSY) theories in general suffers from over-production. The situation can be drastically improved if gluinos have a mass slightly heavier than the bino dark matter…
Gluino and lightest neutralino masses are naturally less than a few GeV if dimension-3 susy-breaking operators are absent from the low energy theory. In this case gaugino masses come from loops and are calculable in terms of known particle…
In this letter, we study collider phenomenology in the supersymmetric Standard Model with a certain type of non-universal gaugino masses at the gauge coupling unification scale, motivated by the little hierarchy problem. In this scenario,…
We study the impact of including quark- and gluon-initiated jet discrimination in the search for strongly interacting supersymmetric particles at the LHC. Taking the example of gluino pair production, considerable improvement is observed in…
We study dark matter physics in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with non-universal gaugino masses at the unification scale. In this scenario, the specific ratio of wino and gluino masses realizes the electro-weak scale naturally…
The supersymmetric particles (sparticles) belonging exclusively to the electroweak sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) may hold the key to the observed dark matter relic density in the universe even if all strongly…
Recent developments in prospects of searching for Higgs particles and testing their properties at the LHC and at TeV e+e- linear colliders are summarized. The discovery limits of supersymmetric particles at the LHC are presented and the…
A search for supersymmetry is presented in events with a single charged lepton, electron or muon, and multiple hadronic jets. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass…
Supersymmetry in the gauge sector could be realized as N=1 or N=2 Supersymmetry, but the current LHC searches assume an N=1 realization. In this paper we show that squarks could be as light as few hundreds of GeV for N=2. We also describe…
These proceedings summarize the results of four analyses which searched for squarks and gluinos in hadronic final states with missing transverse momentum in 2.3 fb$^{-1}$ of data in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected in…
We study a realistic top-down M-theory compactification with low-scale effective Supersymmetry, consistent with phenomenological constraints. A combination of top-down and generic phenomenological constraints fix the spectrum. The gluino…
We scan the complete parameter space of the supersymmetric standard model extended by a gauge singlet, which is compatible with the following constraints: universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the GUT scale, finite running Yukawa…
Searches for production of supersymmetric partners of gluons and quarks with the CMS experiment at CERN's LHC have excluded these particles for masses up to about 2 TeV. The paper will present results and show the analysis techniques in…
Supersymmetric models are typically taken to have $\mu$ parameter and all soft supersymmetry breaking parameters at or near the weak scale. We point out that a small window of allowed values exists in which $\mu$ and the electroweak gaugino…
If a light gluino, with a mass of the order of GeV, exists in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, then it can contribute to the production rate of the top quark pairs at hadron colliders via the process gluino +…
In supersymmetric models with gluinos around 1000-2000 GeV, new physics searches based on cascade decay products of the gluino are viable at the next run of the LHC. We investigate a scenario where the light stop is lighter than the gluino…
