We interpret within the phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) results of SUSY searches published by CMS collaboration based on first ~1 fb^-1 data taken during 2011 LHC run at 7 TeV. The pMSSM is a 19-dimensional parametrization that captures most its features. It encompasses, and goes beyond, broad range more constrained models. Performing global Bayesian analysis, we obtain posterior probability densities parameters, masses derived observables. In contrast to constraints for particular breaking...

Supersymmetric models with t-b-\tau Yukawa unification at M_{GUT} qualitatively predict a sparticle mass spectrum including first and second generation scalars the 3--15 TeV scale, third (few) scale gluinos in sub-TeV range. The neutralino relic density these typically turns out to lie far above measured dark matter abundance, prompting suggestion that instead is composed of an axion/axino mixture. We explore axion thermal non-thermal axino abundance Yukawa-unified SUSY models. find this...

We first build a minimal model of vectorlike quarks where the dominant Higgs boson production process at LHC---the gluon fusion---can be significantly suppressed, being motivated by recent stringent constraints from search for direct over wide mass range. Within this model, compatible with present experimental on searches, we demonstrate that ($h$) via heavy top-partner (${t}_{2}$) decay, $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{t}_{2}{\overline{t}}_{2}$, ${t}_{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}th$, allows to...

A successful implementation of thermal leptogenesis requires the re-heat temperature after inflation TR to exceed ∼ 2 × 109 GeV. Such a high value typically leads an overproduction gravitinos in early universe, which will cause conflicts, mainly with BBN constraints. Asaka and Yanagida (AY) have proposed that these two issues can be reconciled context Peccei-Quinn augmented MSSM (PQMSSM) if one adopts mass hierarchy m(sparticle) > m(gravitino)>m(axino), m(axino) keV. In this case, sparticle...

We examine the prospects for testing SO(10) Yukawa-unified supersymmetric models during first year of LHC running at $ \sqrt s = 7\,{\text{TeV}} , assuming integrated luminosity values ∼0.1-1 fb−1. consider two cases: Higgs splitting (HS) and D-term (DR3) models. Each generically predicts light gluinos heavy squarks, with an inverted scalar mass hierarchy. hence expect large rates gluino pair production followed by decays to final states b-jet multiplicity. For 0.2 fb−1 luminosity, we find a...
