Generating mu and B mu in models with Dirac gauginos

We consider the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by Dirac masses for the gauginos. We study the possibility that the same singlet S that pairs up with the bino. to form a Dirac fermion, is used to generate it and Bit terms through its ...

Implications of XENON 100 and LHC results for Dark Matter models

Duccio Pappadopulo

We perform a fit to the recent XENON 100 data and study its implications for Dark Matter scenarios. We find that Inelastic Dark Matter is disfavored as an explanation to the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal. Concerning the scalar singlet DM model, we fi ...

Initial state radiation in Majorana Dark Matter annihilations

Andrea De Simone

The cross section for a Majorana Dark Matter particle annihilating into light fermions is helicity suppressed. We show that, if the Dark Matter is the neutral Majorana component of a multiplet which is charged under the electroweak interactions of the Stan ...

Lopsided gauge mediation

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Franceschini, Andrea De Simone

It has been recently pointed out that the unavoidable tuning among supersymmetric parameters required to raise the Higgs boson mass beyond its experimental limit opens up new avenues for dealing with the so called mu-B-mu problem of gauge mediation. In fac ...

Review of Particle Physics

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We also summa ...

A non standard supersymmetric spectrum

Enrico Bertuzzo, Duccio Pappadopulo, Paolo Lodone

Taking a bottom-up point of view and focussing on the lack of signals so far in the Higgs and in the flavour sectors, we argue in favour of giving consideration to supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model where the lightest Higgs boson has a mass be ...

Limits on a muon flux from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun from the IceCube 22-string detector

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Xiaoxia Bai

A search for muon neutrinos from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun has been performed with the 22-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino detector using data collected in 104.3 days of live time in 2007. No excess over the expected atm ...

Examining leptogenesis with lepton flavor violation and the dark matter abundance

Steve Blanchet

Within a supersymmetric (SUSY) type-I seesaw framework with flavor-blind universal boundary conditions, we study the consequences of requiring that the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe be explained by either thermal or non-thermal leptogenesis. In ...

Effects of heavy modes on vacuum stability in supersymmetric theories

Claudio Scrucca, Leonardo Brizi

We study the effects induced by heavy fields on the masses of light fields in supersymmetric theories, under the assumption that the heavy mass scale is much higher than the supersymmetry breaking scale. We show that the square-masses of light scalar field ...

Minimal matter at the large hadron collider

Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Franceschini

We classify all possible new U(1)(Y) circle times SU(2)(L) circle times SU(3)(c) multiplets that can couple to pairs of SM particles. Assuming that production of such new particles is dominated by their gauge interactions we study their signals at LHC, fin ...
