Gravitational waves from phase transition in split NMSSM

We discuss gravitational wave signal from the strongly first order electroweak phase transition in the split NMSSM. We find that for sets of parameters predicting successful electroweak baryogenesis the gravitational wave signal can be within the reach of future experiments LISA, BBO and Ultimate DECIGO.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, published versio

Subdomain deflation combined with local AMG: a case study using AMGCL library

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1134/S1995080220040071The paper proposes a combination of the subdomain deflation method and local algebraic multigrid as a scalable distributed memory preconditioner that is able to solve large linear systems of equations. The implementation of the algorithm is made available for the community as part of an open source AMGCL library. The solution targets both homogeneous (CPU-only) and heterogeneous (CPU/GPU) systems, employing hybrid MPI/OpenMP approach in the former and a combination of MPI, OpenMP, and CUDA in the latter cases. The use of OpenMP minimizes the number of MPI processes, thus reducing the communication overhead of the deflation method and improving both weak and strong scalability of the preconditioner. The examples of scalar (single degree of freedom per grid node), Poisson-like, systems as well as non-scalar problems, stemming out of the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations, are considered in order to estimate performance of the implemented algorithm. A comparison with a traditional global AMG preconditioner based on a well-established Trilinos ML package is provided.Contribution of Dr. Demidov was funded by the state assignment to the Joint Supercomputer Center of theRussian Academy of Sciences for Scientific Research and Russian Foundation for Basic Research, grant no. 18-07-00964.

Sgoldstino signature in hhhh, W+W−W^+W^- and ZZZZ spectra at the LHC

In a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) with low scale of supersymmetry breaking, sgoldstino of (sub)TeV mass can be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as a peak in diboson mass spectra. Moreover, as a singlet with respect to the SM gauge group, scalar sgoldstino can mix with the SM-like Higgs boson and interfere in all neutral channels providing with the promising signatures of new physics if superpartners are heavy. Sgoldstino couplings to the SM particles are determined by the pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters. Here we concentrate on the cases with a noticeable sgoldstino contribution to di-Higgs channel. Having found a phenomenologically viable region in the model parameter space where scalar sgoldstino, produced at the LHC in gluon fusion, decays into a pair of the lightest Higgs boson we give predictions for corresponding cross section. Using the results of the LHC searches for scalar resonances we place bounds on the supersymmetry breaking scale $\sqrt{F}$ in this region of parameter space. Remarkably, in this region sgoldstino may also be observed in $W^+W^-$ and $ZZ$ channels, yielding independent signatures, since their signal strengths are related to that of di-Higgs channel.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figure
