It solves the problem of the ultraviolet divergency of the Higgs mass: huge fine-tuning needed to keep the scalar Higgs mass finite, protecting it from loop corrections: Higgs mass stabilization "m H 2 = # B 2 $ 2 "m H 2 = %# f $ 2 SUSY: motivations J=1 J=1/2 J=0 + + Quadratic divergences with Λ Cancellations are the same if all the particles have the same mass and the same coupling constants A Higgs mass equal or less than1 TeV (as predicted by the MS) requires that SUSY is broken at this scale, that is, particle masses differentiate at this scale: m B2 m F2 < 1 TeV 2 )
A (Very) Brief History of SUSY First mathematically consistent formulation was made in the 1970 s by several independent groups Part of superstring theory Current collider studies set limits on the masses of SUSY particles
SUSY Algebra Supersymmetry is a symmetry that relates boson to fermion degrees of freedom. The generators of supersymmetry are two component anticommuting spinors, satisfying:
SUSY particles
Spontaneous symmetry breaking The possible SUSY models depend from the way the symmetry is broken. This can be done in different ways: - Gravity mediated: the lagrangian terms of susy breaking contain superpotential with the gravitons ( e.g. msugra ) - Gauge mediated: the superpotential is built from ordinary gauge - Other scenarios anomalous /exotics: ASMB The spectroscopy and the Number of parameters depend from the model
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in SUSY Examples of different spectra in SUSY
MSSM SUSY is broken via gravitational interactions of the particles with fields (msugra) The Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the minimal extension of the SM, the one which predicts the minimum spectrum of particles compatible with the existence of SUSY and a reduced number of parameters Coupling constants U(1), SU(2), SU(3) Higgs couplings with fermions Mass terms for the Higgs bosons Mass terms for the gauge bosons (W,Z,g) Mass terms for the scalars (sfermions and charged Higgs) Contribution to the mixing of the left and right handed sfermions Contriibution to the Higgs potential

Universe composition according to the latest measurements 0.03% heavy atoms 0.5 % neutrinos 4.5% barions 25% dark matter 70% dark energy
Higgs sector: from SM to MSSM In the Minimal SuperSymmetric Model there are two Higgs doublet (is the minimum number needed to give a mass to the fermions and to the s-fermions) Standard Model 1 Higgs doublet (v) 1 final state H 1 parameter M H radiative corrections: quadratically divergent MSSM 2 Higgs doublets (v 1,v 2 ) 5 final states h, H, A, H +, H- 2 needed parameters: M h, tanβ=v 2 /v 1 finite radiative corrections, but depending from m top, m susys A t A b m
Constrained MSSM In the constrained version (CMSSM), the hypothesis is done that at the Plank scale there is just one universal mass parameter for all the gauginos m 1/2, and there is just one mass for the scalars: m 0. Terms of symmetry breaking in SUSY: universal parameters M 1/2 -> M i A µ tanβ Gaugino masses M 1 :M 2 :M 3 =α 1 :α 2 :α 3 Trilinear m 0 Sfermion mass @ GUT scale Higgsino mass <H 2 > 0 <H 1 > 0 The full low energy spectrum (the one which can be observed experimentally) of the SUSY particles depends from these parameters and from the coupling constants, and can be evaluated as a function of these input parameters Regions.
SUSY strategy searches at LHC If SUSY exists at the EW scale then it will be accessible at the LHC Cascade decays up to LSP 1. Step: Look for deviation of the Standard Model combination of Jets, Leptons, E miss Example: Multijet + E miss T signature T 2. Step: Define the SUSY mass scale with inclusive variables, es. Effective masses 3. Step: Determination of the model parameters Strategy: select particular decay chains and use the kinematics to determine the mass combinations
Constrained MSSM The cross sections for the production of s-particles (and then the Physics reach, for a given machine) are reported in the plane (m 0, m 1/2 )
