The direct constraint on this phase comes from the limit of electric dipole moments ͑EDM’s͒ of various light fermions. To avoid such a constraint, a scheme which assumes that the first two generation sfermions are very heavy is usually evoked to suppress the one-loop EDM contributions. We point out that under such a scheme the most severe constraint may come from a new contribution to the electric dipole moment of the electron, the neutron, or atoms via the chargino sector at the two-loop level. As a result, the allowed parameter space for baryogenesis in the MSSM is severely constrained, independent of the masses of the first two generation sfermions.

THE MODEL AND COUPLINGS Before we outline the physics of the chargino mixing in supersymmetric models we will set forth our conventions. We assume the minimal set of two Higgs doublets.

    Study of s dνν¯ rare hyperon decays in the Standard Model and new physics → Xiao-Hui Hu1 ∗, Zhen-Xing Zhao1 † 1 INPAC, Shanghai Key Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology, MOE Key Laboratory for Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology, School of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao-Tong University, Shanghai 200240, P.R. China FCNC processes offer important tools to test the Standard Model (SM), and to search for possible new physics. In this work, we investigate the s → dνν¯ rare hyperon decays in SM and beyond. We 14 11 find that in SM the branching ratios for these rare hyperon decays range from 10− to 10− . When all the errors in the form factors are included, we find that the final branching fractions for most decay modes have an uncertainty of about 5% to 10%. After taking into account the contribution from new physics, the generalized SUSY extension of SM and the minimal 331 model, the decay widths for these channels can be enhanced by a factor of 2 ∼ 7. I. INTRODUCTION The flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions provide a critical test of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mechanism in the Standard Model (SM), and allow to search for the possible new physics. In SM, FCNC transition s dνν¯ proceeds through Z-penguin and electroweak box diagrams, and thus the decay probablitities are strongly→ suppressed. In this case, a precise study allows to perform very stringent tests of SM and ensures large sensitivity to potential new degrees of freedom. + + 0 A large number of studies have been performed of the K π νν¯ and KL π νν¯ processes, and reviews of these two decays can be found in [1–6].

This analysis uses data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector from proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy √s =13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.26 fb−1. This search focuses on a R-parity conserving model of Supersymmetry where electroweak decay of SUSY particles results in the lightest supersymmetric particle, two high energy photons, and an electron. The light- est supersymmetric particle would escape the detector, thus resulting in missing transverse energy. No excess of missing energy is observed in the signal region of MET>100 GeV. A limit is set on the SUSY electroweak Chargino-Neutralino production cross section. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 9 1.1 Weakly Interacting Massive Particles . ..... 10 1.2 SUSY ..................................... 12 2 CMS Detector 15 3Data 17 3.1 ParticleFlowandReconstruction . .. 17 3.1.1 ECALClusteringandR9. 17 3.1.2 Conversion Safe Electron Veto . 18 3.1.3 Shower Shape . 19 3.1.4 Isolation .

We find that successful baryogenesis during the first order electroweak phase transition is possible within a phenomenologically viable part of the model parameter space.

  • Mass Degeneracy of the Higgsinos
    CERN–TH/95–337 Mass Degeneracy of the Higgsinos Gian F. Giudice1 and Alex Pomarol Theory Division, CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland Abstract The search for charginos and neutralinos at LEP2 can become problematic if these particles are almost mass degenerate with the lightest neutralino. Unfortunately this is the case in the region where these particles are higgsino-like. We show that, in this region, radiative corrections to the higgsino mass splittings can be as large as the tree-level values, if the mixing between the two stop states is large. We also show that the degree of degeneracy of the higgsinos substantially increases if a large phase is present in the higgsino mass term µ. CERN–TH/95–337 December 1995 1On leave of absence from INFN Sezione di Padova, Padua, Italy. The search for charginos (˜χ+) at LEP2 is one of the most promising ways of discovering low-energy supersymmetry. If theχ ˜+ decays into the lightest neutralino (˜χ0) and a virtual W +, it can be discovered at LEP2 (with a L = 500 pb−1) whenever its production cross R section is larger than about 0.1–0.3pbandmχ˜0 is within the range mχ˜0 ∼> 20 GeV and mχ˜+ − mχ˜0 ∼> 5–10 GeV [1]. Therefore, the chargino can be discovered almost up to the LEP2 kinematical limit, unless one of the following three conditions occurs: i) The sneutrino (˜ν) is light and the chargino is mainly gaugino-like. In this case theν ˜ t-channel exchange interferes destructively with the gauge-boson exchange and can reduce the chargino production cross section below the minimum values required for observability, 0.1–0.3 pb.

O. Box 586, Trieste 34100, Italy Abstract If the lightest chargino is discovered at LEP2, the measurement of its mass and cross section together with the mass of the lightest neutralino, enables the determination of the parameters that define the theory and the entire supersym- metric and Higgs spectrum. Within this context, we: (i) study the effect of the one–loop tadpoles in the minimization condition of the Higgs potential, by com- paring the RGE–improved Higgs potential approximation with the calculation arXiv:hep-ph/9609472v1 25 Sep 1996 of the minimum including the effect of the one–loop tadpoles, and (ii) compare the prediction of two different supergravity models, namely, the model based on B = 2m0 and motivated by the solution of the µ–problem, and the minimal supergravity model, based on A = B + m0. 1 Introduction Chargino searches at LEP1.5 at 130GeV < √s< 140 GeV center of mass energy have been negative, and new exclusion regions in the m ± m 0 plane have been published χ1 − χ1 0 [1].

Such an accuracy gives sensitivity at the level of quantum corrections, which therefore must be incorporated in order to make meaningful predictions for the underlying new physics parameters. For the chargino{neutralino sector, this involves fitting one-loop predictions to expected measurements of the cross sections and forward-backward asymmetries and of the accessible chargino and neutralino masses. Our analysis shows how an accurate determination of the desired pa- rameters is possible, providing in addition access to the mass of the lighter stop. DESY 12-141 1 Introduction A linear collider (LC) will be an ideal environment for high precision studies of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). A particularly well-motivated BSM theory is the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Fits to the latest LHC data, see e.g. [1], suggest that, if nature can indeed be described in terms of the MSSM, charginos and neutralinos could be among the lighter supersymmetric (SUSY) particles, and therefore we investigate what the LC can reveal about the structure of the chargino{neutralino sector of the MSSM. At leading order (LO), the chargino{neutralino sector can be parameterised via the gaugino masses M1 and M2, the higgsino mass µ and tan β, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two neutral Higgs doublet fields, see e.g.

We present simplified MSSM models for light neutralinos and charginos with realistic mass spectra and realistic gaugino-higgsino mixing, that can be used in experimental searches at the LHC. The formerly used naive approach of defining mass spectra and mixing matrix elements manually and independently of each other does not yield genuine MSSM benchmarks. We suggest the use of less simplified, but realistic MSSM models, whose mass spectra and mixing matrix elements are the result of a proper matrix diagonalisation. We propose a novel strategy targeting the design of such benchmark scenarios, accounting for user-defined constraints in terms of masses and particle mixing. We apply it to the higgsino case and implement a scan in the four relevant underlying parameters fµ, tan β; M1;M2g for a given set of light neutralino and chargino masses. We define a measure for the quality of the obtained benchmarks, that also includes criteria to assess the higgsino content of the resulting charginos and neutralinos. We finally discuss the distribution of the resulting models in the MSSM parameter space as well as their implications for supersymmetric dark matter phenomenology.
