Supersymmetric Naturalness Beyond MSSM

Abstract

The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have pushed the limits on masses of supersymmetric particles beyond the \simTeV scale. This compromises naturalness of the simplest supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this paper we advocate that perhaps the current experimental data are actually hinting towards the physics beyond MSSM. To illustrate this, we treat MSSM as a low energy limit of a more fundamental yet unspecified theory at a scale Λ\Lambda, and compute the fine-tuning measure Δ\Delta for generic boundary conditions on soft SUSY breaking parameters and various cut-off scales. As a general trend we observe reduction in fine-tuning together with lowering Λ\Lambda. In particular, perfectly natural [ΔO(10)\Delta \lesssim \mathcal{O}(10)] theories with a multi-TeV spectrum of supersymmetric particles and consistent with all current observations can be obtained for ΛO(100)\Lambda \sim \mathcal{O}(100)TeV. The lowering of the fine-tuning for large cut-off scales can also be observed in theories exhibiting special quasi-fixed point behaviours of parameters. Our observations call for a more throughout exploration of possible alternative ultraviolet completions of MSSM.
