Imposing electroweak scale naturalness constraints (low \Delta_{EW}) on SUSY models leads to mass spectra characterized by light higgsinos ~100-300 GeV, highly mixed top-squarks and gluinos at the 1-5 TeV scale and allows for m_h ~125 GeV.…
We systematically compute the annihilation rate for winos and higgsinos into the final state relevant for indirect detection experiments, gamma + X. The radiative corrections to this process receive enhancement from the large…
We consider the collider phenomenology of split-supersymmetry models. We show that despite the challenging nature of the signals in these models the long-lived gluino can be discovered with masses in excess of 2 TeV at the LHC. At a future…
Results are reported from a search for supersymmetry with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in electroweak production. Final states with photons and large missing transverse energy (MET) were examined. The data sample was collected in…
Among the electroweakinos, the weak gauginos have the largest production rate at the LHC and should therefore be the primary focus of searches. In this work, we examine the LHC sensitivity to weak gauginos in light of the latest constraints…
We study an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with additional right-handed singlet neutrino superfields. While such an extension incorporates a mechanism for the neutrino mass, it also opens up the possibility of…
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…
We consider the collider phenomenology of split-supersymmetry models. Despite the challenging nature of the signals in these models the long-lived gluino can be discovered with masses above 2 TeV at the LHC. At a future linear collider we…
A search is presented for charged, long-lived supersymmetric particles in final states with one or more disappearing tracks. The search is based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the…
We investigate the R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric (SUSY) model at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) in the context of compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment assuming a total integrated luminosity of…
In the Next-to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), a sizable coupling $\lambda$ between the singlet and Higgs fields can naturally accommodate the observed Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV. This large coupling also results in a large…
A variety of supersymmetric models give rise to a split mass spectrum characterized by very heavy scalars but sub-TeV gauginos, usually with a wino-like LSP. Such models predict a thermally-produced underabundance of wino-like WIMP dark…
We study the prospects of a simultaneous hunt at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of relatively light electroweakinos and a singlet-like scalar of the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model ($Z_3$-NMSSM) in the cascade…
We exploit the measured branching ratio for $b \rightarrow s\gamma$ to derive lower limits on the sparticle and Higgs masses in the minimal string unification models. For the LSP('bino'), chargino and the lightest Higgs, these turn out to…
In the ``non-decoupling'' region of the Higgs sector in MSSM, the heavier CP-even Higgs boson (H^0) is Standard-Model-like and close to the charged Higgs bosons (H^\pm) in mass, while other neutral Higgs bosons (h^0,A^0) are lighter and…
By using kinematical arguments we derive a theorem for the ratio: [production cross-section of charged-neutral wino pairs plus anything else] over [production cross-section of charged-neutral lepton pairs plus anything else]. We do that by…
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, higgsino-like charginos and neutralinos are preferred to have masses of the order of the electroweak scale by naturalness arguments. Such light $\widetilde{\chi}^0_1$,…
We investigate squark and gluino pair production at LHC (CMS) with subsequent decays into quarks, leptons and LSP in models with effective supersymmetry where third generation of squarks is relatively light while the first two generations…
This paper reports a search for decays of long-lived charginos or $\tau$-sleptons to final states containing a short disappearing track, a single high-energy jet, and missing transverse momentum. The search uses 137 fb$^{-1}$ of data from…
We study the possibility to observe sterile neutrinos with masses in the range between 5 GeV and 20 GeV at the LHC, using the exclusive semileptonic modes involving pions, namely W to lepton + N to n pions + lepton+lepton (n = 1, 2, 3). The…
