A search has been performed for long-lived particles that have stopped in the CMS detector, during 7 TeV proton-proton operations of the CERN LHC. The existence of such particles could be inferred from observation of their decays when there…
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…
We derive the allowed mass range for the superlight gravitino present in a large class of supersymmetric models from the observed luminosity from Supernova 1987A. We find that for photino masses of order 100 GeV, the mass range $2.6\times…
We report on two null searches, one for the spontaneous appearance of $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs, another for a single $\pi^0$, consistent with the decay of a long-lived neutral particle into hadrons and an unseen neutral particle. For the lowest…
A summary is presented of ATLAS searches for gluinos and first- and second-generation squarks in final states containing jets and missing transverse momentum, with or without leptons or b-jets, in the $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV data set collected…
In some supersymmetric models, the gluino is predicted to be light and stable. In that case, it would hadronize to form R-hadrons. In these models, the missing energy signature of the lightest supersymmetric particle is no longer valid,…
The latest search for massive long-lived hadronising particles with the ATLAS detector is presented. The search is conducted with the inner detector and an integrated luminosity corresponding to 2.06 fb-1 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. For Split-SUSY…
Radiatively-driven natural SUSY (RNS) models enjoy electroweak naturalness at the $10\%$ level while respecting LHC sparticle and Higgs mass constraints. Gluino and top squark masses can range up to several TeV (with other squarks even…
We derive novel limits on the masses of the light and heavy Majorana neutrinos by requiring successful leptogenesis in seesaw models of minimal flavour violation (MFV). Taking properly into account radiative flavour effects and avoiding the…
Minimal $N=1$ supergravity with a radiatively broken electroweak symmetry group is studied in the light gluino scenario. Constraints from the $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ decay and from the masses of the light CP-even neutral Higgs $m_h$, the…
Experimental bounds on squarks of the first two generations assume their masses to be eightfold degenerate, and consequently constrain them to be heavier than ~ 1.4 TeV when the gluino is lighter than 2.5 TeV. The assumption of squark-mass…
Terrestrial and ``Heavenly'' experiments severely constrain the mass and lifetime of an MeV tau neutrino. Irrespective of decay mode, for $\tau_\nu \ga 300\sec$ the mass of the tau neutrino must be either approximately $30\MeV$ or less than…
We point out the following astrophysical consequences of a tau neutrino with mass in the MeV range: (i) if it has a small electric charge which will allow it to become a cold dark matter of the universe, then present limits on the 511 KeV…
The decay of massive neutrinos to final states containing only invisible particles is poorly constrained experimentally. In this letter we describe the constraints that can be put on neutrino mass and lifetime using CMBR measurements. We…
Light strongly interacting supersymmetric particles may be treated as partonic constituents of nucleons in high energy scattering processes. We construct parton distribution functions for protons in which a light gluino is included along…
We explain how physics in the kaon sector proves useful in setting constraints in models where the gluino mass is below 2 TeV, while the other supersymmetric particles are in the range $\sim(3-10)$ TeV. We also discuss the signals of these…
The observability of a gluino at LHC RUN II is analyzed for the case where the gluino lies in the gluino-neutralino coannihilation region and the mass gap between the gluino and the neutralino is small. The analysis is carried out under the…
Despite the great success of the Standard Model, it still does not explain Dark Matter, matter/antimatter asymmetry and it does not unite the electroweak and the strong forces. As a possible solution, the theory of Supersymmetry was…
We calculate the production cross-sections for the vector and pseudoscalar bound states of two gluinos. It is shown that existing and future colliders imply a realistic chance of observing gluinonium as a narrow peak in the two-jet…
An unidentified 3.5 keV line from X-ray observations of galaxy clusters has been reported recently. Although still under scrutiny, decaying dark matter could be responsible for this signal. We investigate whether an axino with a mass of 7…
