ATLAS and CMS report indications of a Higgs boson at M_h 125 GeV. In addition, CMS data show a tenuous bump in the ZZ channel, at about 320 GeV. We make the bold assumption that it might be the indication of a secondary line corresponding…
The Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider experiments have constrained the mass of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson to be above 114.4 GeV. This bound applies to all extensions of the SM where the coupling of a Higgs boson to the Z boson…
We study the features of the additional Higgs bosons in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where the lightest beyond Standard Model Higgs boson does not dominantly couple to up-type quarks. The new state is dominantly…
The predictions for the mass of the light CP-even Higgs are investigated in the context of a simple extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where the baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries. This theory predicts…
We propose that the TeV scale mirage mediation in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) is a novel solution for the little hierarchy problem in supersymmetry. The 125 GeV Higgs boson can be accommodated with the new…
Compared with the MSSM or the NMSSM with a low \lambda, \lambda-SUSY theory with a large \lambda around one has been deemed as a most natural realization of NMSSM. In this work, we treat the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs boson as the…
We study the limits on the mass of the lightest Higgs in supersymmetric models extended with a gauge singlet when perturbative unification is required. We find that when maximum intermediate matter is added, the different evolution of the…
Measuring the Higgs self-coupling is one of the crucial physics goals at the LHC Run-2 and other future colliders. In this work, we attempt to figure out the size of SUSY effects on the trilinear self-coupling of the 125 GeV Higgs boson in…
We present a detailed analysis of multiple production of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson (h) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at high-energy e^+ e^- colliders. We consider the production of the heavier CP-even Higgs…
One of the most straightforward ways to address the flavor problem of low-energy supersymmetry is to arrange for the scalar soft terms to vanish simultaneously at a scale $M_{c}$ much larger than the electroweak scale. This occurs naturally…
In the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), for certain values of the CP-violating phases associated to the universal trilinear couplings $(A_t, A_b)$ and the gluino mass $(M_{\tilde g})$, e.g., $\Phi_{\rm{CP}} =…
If the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle is sufficiently heavy, then its contribution to gamma gamma to Z Z should be largely imaginary, interfering with the also predominantly imaginary SM "background" generated by the W-loop. For…
We explore the possibility that both the weak scale and the thermal relic dark matter abundance are environmentally selected in a multiverse. An underlying supersymmetric theory containing the states of the MSSM and singlets, with…
A preliminary combined mass limit of about 90 GeV has been reported for the Minimal Standard Model Higgs boson from the 183 GeV data taken in 1997, with a total luminosity of about 200 pb-1. Similar mass limits have been reported from the…
It is challenging for supersymmetry if the 125 GeV Higgs boson is confirmed by the LHC. In the case of small squark mixing it is inevitable to introduce heavy top squarks to lift the Higgs mass that is hard to be produced by the LHC. Here…
In minimal supersymmetric model (SUSY) with a light Higgs sector, explicit CP violation and most general flavor mixings in the sfermion sector, integration of the superpartners out of the spectrum induces potentially large contributions to…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) is a primary candidate for new physics beyond the SM. If SUSY breaking scale is very low, for example, the multi-TeV range, and the SUSY breaking sector, except for the goldstino…
We discuss the generation of the mu-term in a class of supersymmetric models characterized by a low energy effective superpotential containing a term lambda S H_1 H_2 with a large coupling lambda~2. These models generically predict a…
I review selected topics in supersymmetry, including: effects of non-universality, high $\tanb$ and phases on SUSY signals; a heavy gluino as the LSP; gauge-mediated SUSY signals involving delayed decays; R-parity violation and the very…
The recent results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations show that the allowed range for a Standard Model Higgs boson is now restricted to a very thin region. Although those limits are presented exclusively in the framework of the SM, the…
