    Natural NMSSM confronting with the LHC7-8

    Full text link
    The natural supersymmetry (SUSY) requires that stop, sbottom, and gluino be around one TeV or lighter. By using the direct SUSY search bounds from both ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we examine the constraints on the natural SUSY in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). We consider two cases of interpretations for the Higgs boson data: (1) the Standard Model (SM) like Higgs boson is the lightest CP-even Higgs boson; (2) the SM like Higgs boson is the second lightest CP-even Higgs boson. We find that the direct SUSY searches at the LHC impose a strong constraint on the light gluino scenarios, and in both cases the gluino can not be lighter than 1.1 TeV with sbottom mass up to 600 GeV and stop mass up to 550 GeV.Comment: 43 pages, 13 figure

    Discovery potential of Higgs boson pair production through 4\ell+E ⁣ ⁣/E\!\!/ final states at a 100 TeV collider

    Full text link
    We explore the discovery potential of Higgs pair production at a 100 TeV collider via full leptonic mode. The same mode can be explored at the LHC when Higgs pair production is enhanced by new physics. We examine two types of fully leptonic final states and propose a partial reconstruction method. The reconstruction method can reconstruct some kinematic observables. It is found that the mT2m_{T2} variable determined by this reconstruction method and the reconstructed visible Higgs mass are important and crucial to discriminate the signal and background events. It is also noticed that a new variable, denoted as Δm\Delta m which is defined as the mass difference of two possible combinations, is very useful as a discriminant. We also investigate the interplay between the direct measurements of ttˉht\bar{t} h couplings and other related couplings and trilinear Higgs coupling at hadron colliders and electron-positron colliders

    Higgs Pair Production: Improved Description by Matrix Element Matching

    Full text link
    Higgs pair production is crucial for measuring the Higgs boson self-coupling. The dominant channel at hadron colliders is gluon fusion via heavy-quark loops. We present the results of a fully exclusive simulation of gluon fusion Higgs pair production based on the matrix elements for hh + 0, 1 partons including full heavy-quark loop dependence, matched to a parton shower. We examine and validate this new description by comparing it with (a) Higgs Effective Theory predictions, (b) exact hh + 0-parton sample showered by pythia, and (c) exact hh+1-parton distributions, by looking at the most relevant kinematic distributions, such as PTh, PThh, Mhh spectra, and jet rate as well. We find that matched samples provide an state-of-the-art accurate exclusive description of the final state. The relevant LHE files for Higgs pair productions at the LHC can be accessed via http://hepfarm02.phy.pku.edu.cn/foswiki/CMS/HH, which can be used for relevant experimental analysis.Comment: accepted version in Phys.

    Efficient Numerical Evaluation of Feynman Integral

    Full text link
    Feynman loop integrals are a key ingredient for the calculation of higher order radiation effects, and are responsible for reliable and accurate theoretical prediction. We improve the efficiency of numerical integration in sector decomposition by implementing a quasi-Monte Carlo method associated with the CUDA/GPU technique. For demonstration we present the results of several Feynman integrals up to two loops in both Euclidean and physical kinematic regions in comparison with those obtained from FIESTA3. It is shown that both planar and non-planar two-loop master integrals in the physical kinematic region can be evaluated in less than half a minute with O(103)\mathcal{O}(10^{-3}) accuracy, which makes the direct numerical approach viable for precise investigation of higher order effects in multi-loop processes, e.g. the next-to-leading order QCD effect in Higgs pair production via gluon fusion with a finite top quark mass.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, published in Chinese Physics

    CP Violation and Extra Dimensions

    Full text link
    It is shown that the new sources of CP violation can be generated in the models with more than one extra dimensions. In the supersymmetric models on the space-time M4×T2/Z2M^4\times T^2/Z_2, where the radius moduli have auxiliary vacuum expectation values and the supersymmetry breaking is mediated by the Kaluza-Klein states of gauge supermultiplets, we analyze the gaugino masses and trilinear couplings for two scenarios and obtain that there exist relative CP violating phases among the gaugino masses and trilinear couplings.Comment: Latex, 7 page
