Light stops are a hallmark of the most natural realizations of weak-scale supersymmetry. While stops have been extensively searched for, there remain open gaps around and below the top mass, due to similarities of stop and top signals with…
\def\nle{{\stackrel{<}{\sim}}} We examine a possibility for existence of a light supersymmetric partner of the top quark (stop) with mass 15 $\sim$ 16 GeV in the framework of the minimal supergravity GUT model. Such light stop could explain…
We have explored the possibilities of scenarios with heavy gluinos and light stops in supersymmetric (SUSY) standard models with extra vector-like multiplets. If we assume the hierarchical structure for soft masses of the minimal…
A right-handed stop not much heavier or even lighter than the Z boson has today desirable phenomenological consequences. We study how it can result within the usual radiative scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking. A restriction on the…
We study the light gluino scenario giving special attention to constraints from the masses of the light CP-even neutral Higgs $m_h$, the lightest chargino $m_{\chi^{\pm}_1}$, and the second lightest neutralino $m_{\chi^0_2}$, and from the…
We propose a mechanism which could explain a slight excess of top signal rate recently reported by CDF in the framework of the supersymmetric standard model. If the scalar partner of the top (stop) is sufficiently light, the gluino with an…
\def\nle{{\stackrel{<}{\sim}}} We examine a possibility for existence of a light supersymmetric partner of the top quark (stop) with mass 15 $\sim$ 20 GeV in the framework of the minimal supergravity GUT model. Such light stop could explain…
We discuss the upper bound on the gluino mass in supersymmetric models with vector-like extra matters. In order to realize the observed Higgs mass of 125 GeV, the gluino mass is bounded from above in supersymmetric models. With the…
Using the latest LHC data, we analyse and compare the lower limits on the masses of gluinos and the lightest stop in two natural supersymmetric motivated scenarios: one with a neutralino being the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and…
Gravitino is one feasible candidate for the dark matter in supergravity models. With its couplings being suppressed by the Plank mass, gravitino interacts very weakly with other particles, making its direct detection, or production at…
In supersymmetric models the mass of the stops can be considered as the naturalness measure of the theory. Roughly, the lighter the stops are, the more natural the theory is. Both, the absence of supersymmetric signals at experiment and the…
We consider the possibility that the lightest supersymmetric particle is a heavy gluino. After discussing models in which this is the case, we demonstrate that the gluino-LSP could evade cosmological and other constraints by virtue of…
Light gluinos have been suggested in order to reconcile $\alpha_s$ determinations from low energy deep inelastic experiments with those inferred from LEP measurements. {}From this hypothesis then one expects, in unified N=1 supergravity…
In this work we study the collider phenomenology of a compressed supersymmetric model with gluino and the lightest neutralino. All other sparticles are assumed to be heavy. We consider gluino pair production at the 14 TeV LHC and present…
We consider the viability of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a light ($m_{\tilde t_1} < $ 45 GeV) stop. In order for its relic abundance to be cosmologically significant, the photino as dark matter must be quite close in mass…
We show that a right-handed stop in the 200-400 GeV mass range, together with a nearly degenerate neutralino and, possibly, a gluino below 1.5 TeV, follows from reasonable assumptions, is consistent with present data, and offers interesting…
A constraint from $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ process to the minimal supersymmetric standard model is derived in the light stop region where the coupling between the lighter stop and the $Z^0$ boson vanishes due to the left-right mixing of the…
We show that the possibility of having light gluinos is not in conflict with recent LEP measurements and also that cosmology does not rule it out in any convincing way. In unified N=1 supergravity models, one expects that also the "photino"…
Stop searches in supersymmetric frameworks with $R$-parity conservation usually assume the lightest neutralino to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. In this paper we consider an alternative scenario in which the left-handed tau…
How light can the stop be given current experimental constraints? Can it still be lighter than the top? In this paper, we study this and related questions in the context of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, where a stop NLSP decays…
