If Supersymmetry (SUSY) has a compressed spectrum the current limits from the LHC can be drastically reduced. We take possible `worst case' scenarios where combinations of the stop, squark and gluino masses are degenerate with the mass of…
In the MSSM, the assumptions of a common sfermion mass parameter m_0 and a common gaugino mass parameter m_1/2, along with the requirements from radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, lead to relatively large values of the Higgs mixing…
A series of predictions are worked out in order to put the minimal $SU(5)$ supergravity model under experimental test. Using the two-loop gauge coupling renormalization group equations, with the inclusion of supersymmetric threshold…
Several supersymmetry breaking mechanisms do not produce dimension-3 operators. I show here that this scenario is consistent with present observations and has several significant virtues: i) When there are no dimension-3 SUSY-breaking…
We study phenomenological aspects of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories with non-universal gaugino masses. For large tan beta, we investigate constraints from the requirement of successful electroweak symmetry breaking, the…
Results are presented for a variety of SUSY Simplified Models at the 14 TeV LHC as well as a 33 and 100 TeV proton collider. Our focus is on models whose signals are driven by colored production. We present projections of the upper limit…
A review is given of recent developments on the implications of supergravity grand unification with SU(5)-type proton decay under the condition $M_{H_3} /m_G < 10$ (where $M_{H_3}$ is the Higgs triplet mass) and the naturalness condition…
We explore unification and natural supersymmetry in a five dimensional extension of the standard model in which the extra dimension may be large, of the order of 1-10 TeV. Power law running generates a TeV scale A_ term allowing for the…
The general SUSY soft breaking terms for a large class of phenomenologically relevant string scenarios (symmetric orbifolds) are given. They show a certain lack of universality, but not dangerous for flavor changing neutral currents. To get…
The minimal grand unified supergravity model is discussed. Requiring radiative breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry, the unification of b and tau Yukawa couplings, a sufficiently stable nucleon, and not too large a relic density of…
The idea of "Natural SUSY", understood as a supersymmetric scenario where the fine-tuning is as mild as possible, is a reasonable guide to explore supersymmetric phenomenology. In this paper, we re-examine this issue in the context of the…
We examine stabilities of our supersymmetry-breaking false vacuum in a low-energy direct gauge mediation model of SUSY breaking. The stability required in the high-temperature early universe leads to upperbounds on masses of squarks and…
In this paper we study the experimental consequences of a theory which naturally has a heavy, stable (or almost stable) gluino. We define the boundary conditions at a messenger scale $M \sim 10^{14}$ GeV which lead to this alternative…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the higgsinos can have masses around the electroweak scale, while the other supersymmetric particles have TeV-scale masses. This happens in models of gauge-mediated SUSY breaking with a high…
The predictions of SU(5) supergravity models with radiative breaking constrained by experimental proton decay bounds are discussed. It is shown that cosmological constraints further restrict the parameter space but can be satisfied for a…
We present new upper limits on the light Higgs boson mass mh in supersymmetric models. We consider two gravity-mediated models (with and without universal scalar masses) and two gauge-mediated models (with a 5+5 or 10+10 messenger sector).…
In N=1 supergravity the scalar potential may have supersymmetric (SUSY) and non-supersymmetric Minkowski vacua (associated with supersymmetric and physical phases) with vanishing energy density. In the supersymmetric Minkowski (second)…
Future sattelite (MAP and Planck) balloon and ground based experiments will the determine the basic cosmological parameters within a few percent. We examine here the effect of this on constraining the SUSY parameter space for supergravity…

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have reported an excess of events in the \gamma\gamma, ZZ^*\to 4\ell and WW^* search channels at an invariant mass m \simeq 125 GeV, which could be the first evidence for the long-awaited Higgs boson. We…
