10 EWSB in the SE 6 SSM E 6 SSM: EWSB conditions M Z M S (i.e. S M S ) At physical minimum, H 0 d = v 1, H 0 u = v, S = s 1, S = s s, φ = ϕ S, S VEVs develop along nearly D-flat direction S = S with S S M S σ Small σ MZ g 1 QS (s 1 + s) far heavier than M S can have M Z far above limits while keeping sparticles (relatively) light Note: also suppress D-term contribution to EWSB scale, i.e. M Z 10 / 0

11 The CSE 6 SSM General model is complicated O(00) new parameters (assuming no new sources of CP-violation) Many masses and mixings Consider constrained model (CSE 6 SSM) inspired by gravity mediated SUSY breaking Universal soft breaking parameters: M 1/, A 0, B 0, m 0 Want Z mass decoupled from EWSB conditions fix heavy s = s1 + s = 650 TeV Suitable DM candidate small µ eff, i.e. small λ Exotic λ αβ, κ i,... free, but small λ natural for these to be small also FlexibleSUSY mass spectrum at full one-loop level, including full two-loop RGEs In general, want to use automated tools for studying with high precision 11 / 0

12 Semi-analytic Solutions Useful technique for studying constrained models (e.g. CE 6 SSM) RGEs for SUSY parameters independent of soft SUSY breaking parameters (up to effects of threshold corrections) Treat RGEs for SUSY breaking parameters as system of linear ODEs Combine with boundary conditions semi-analytic solutions, M i (Q) = p i (Q)M 1/ + q i (Q)A 0, A i (Q) = e i (Q)A 0 + f i (Q)M 1/, m i (Q) = a i (Q)m 0 + b i (Q)M 1/ + c i(q)a 0 M 1/ + d i (Q)A 0,... Coefficients depend only on SUSY parameters, calculated numerically Relate SUSY scale parameters to high-scale inputs, e.g. trade m 0 for µ eff Contrast with e.g. CMSSM: µ output for given m0 1 / 0

13 Two-scale Algorithm Initial guess Calculate g i (M Z ), y f (M Z ), apply low-scale BCs Run all parameters to M X, apply high-scale BC Run to M S, solve EWSB and apply SUSY-scale BC Converged? Calculate pole masses 13 / 0

14 Semi-analytic Algorithm Initial guess Calculate g i (M Z ), y f (M Z ), apply low-scale SUSY BCs Iterate SUSY parameters Determine semi-analytic solutions at M S Solve EWSB, apply SUSY-scale BC Converged? Calculate pole masses Apply threshold corrections 14 / 0

19 Direct Detection m 0 [GeV] λ = , κ 1000 ij =λ αβ =1 10 3, 0 <(Ωh ) th. < M 1/ [GeV] σ p SI [ cm ] Strong constraints from LUX limits on σ SI σ SI (product of Higgsino, bino components) highly mixed bino-higgsino LSP large σ SI Very close to LUX limit, would be immediately observed at XENON1T Pure Higgsino LSP small bino component (+ heavy), σ SI is safely below LUX limits But still detectable at XENON1T 19 / 0

20 Summary E 6 inspired models can resolve the Little Hierarchy problem of MSSM Simplest variants, e.g. E 6 SSM, faced with several issues (Z limits, multiple discrete symmetries...) Considered well-motivated extension, SE 6 SSM, with exact custodial symmetry Heavy Z sfermions out of LHC reach, but observable exotic fermions, gauginos DM relic density can be fitted by MSSM-like neutralino Higgsino LSP ( heavy spectrum) Mixed bino-higgsino LSP ( observable gauginos) Direct detection limits strong constraints, easily observable at XENON1T Thank you for listening! 0 / 0
