SUSY and a 125 GeV Scalar
An excess of events at a mass of ~ 125 GeV has been reported by both ATLAS
and CMS collaborations using 5/fb of data. If this excess of events is
confirmed by further searches with more data, it will have extremely important
consequences in the context of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model.
We show that for a Standard Model like Higgs boson with a mass 122.5 < Mh <
127.5 GeV, several unconstrained or constrained MSSM scenarios would be
excluded, while the parameters of some other scenarios would be severely
restricted.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures. Contribution to Moriond EW 2012 proceeding
Indirect search for New Physics: complementarity to direct searches
We present an overview on the interplay between direct searches for new
physics at the LHC and indirect constraints from the flavour sector, with an
emphasis on the implications of the recent LHCb results. The complementarity
with the Higgs search results will also be addressed. We show the correlation
and complementarity between the different sectors in the context of a few
specific examples in supersymmetry.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures. Plenary talk at the 25th Rencontres de Blois on

Orthogonal symmetries and Clifford algebras
Involutions of the Clifford algebra of a quadratic space induced by
orthogonal symmetries are investigated.Comment: 22 page
Flavour data constraints on new physics and SuperIso
We discuss the implications of B_s -> mu+mu- and B -> K*mu+mu- decays in the
context of indirect searches for new physics, emphasising the new LHCb results.
In particular, we derive the consequences of the MFV hypothesis and discuss the
importance of the MFV predictions. The impact of the recent LHCb measurements
in the context of the MSSM will also be addressed, and the SuperIso program
will be briefly described.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, contribution to the ICHEP 2012 Conference
