    Determination of Dark Matter Halo Mass from Dynamics of Satellite Galaxies

    Full text link
    We show that the mass of a dark matter halo can be inferred from the dynamical status of its satellite galaxies. Using 9 dark-matter simulations of halos like the Milky Way (MW), we find that the present-day substructures in each halo follow a characteristic distribution in the phase space of orbital binding energy and angular momentum, and that this distribution is similar from halo to halo but has an intrinsic dependence on the halo formation history. We construct this distribution directly from the simulations for a specific halo and extend the result to halos of similar formation history but different masses by scaling. The mass of an observed halo can then be estimated by maximizing the likelihood in comparing the measured kinematic parameters of its satellite galaxies with these distributions. We test the validity and accuracy of this method with mock samples taken from the simulations. Using the positions, radial velocities, and proper motions of 9 tracers and assuming observational uncertainties comparable to those of MW satellite galaxies, we find that the halo mass can be recovered to within ∼\sim40%. The accuracy can be improved to within ∼\sim25% if 30 tracers are used. However, the dependence of the phase-space distribution on the halo formation history sets a minimum uncertainty of ∼\sim20% that cannot be reduced by using more tracers. We believe that this minimum uncertainty also applies to any mass determination for a halo when the phase space information of other kinematic tracers is used.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, 18 pages, 13 figure

    The naturalness in the BLMSSM and B-LSSM

    Full text link
    In order to interpret the Higgs mass and its decays more naturally, we hope to intrude the BLMSSM and B-LSSM. In the both models, the right-handed neutrino superfields are introduced to better explain the neutrino mass problems. In addition, there are other superfields considered to make these models more natural than MSSM. In this paper, the method of χ2\chi^2 analyses will be adopted in the BLMSSM and B-LSSM to calculate the Higgs mass, Higgs decays and muon g−2g-2. With the fine-tuning in the region 0.67%−2.5%0.67\%-2.5\% and 0.67%−5%0.67\%-5\%, we can obtain the reasonable theoretical values that are in accordance with the experimental results respectively in the BLMSSM and B-LSSM. Meanwhile, the best-fitted benchmark points in the BLMSSM and B-LSSM will be acquired at minimal (χminBL)2=2.34736(\chi^{BL}_{min})^2 = 2.34736 and (χminB−L)2=2.47754(\chi^{B-L}_{min})^2 = 2.47754, respectively

    The order analysis for the two loop corrections to lepton MDM

    Full text link
    The experimental data of the magnetic dipole moment(MDM) of lepton(ee, μ\mu) is very exact. The deviation between the experimental data and the standard model prediction maybe come from new physics contribution. In the supersymmetric models, there are very many two loop diagrams contributing to the lepton MDM. In supersymmetric models, we suppose two mass scales MSHM_{SH} and MM with MSH≫MM_{SH}\gg M for supersymmetric particles. Squarks belong to MSHM_{SH} and the other supersymmetric particles belong to MM. We analyze the order of the contributions from the two loop diagrams. The two loop triangle diagrams corresponding to the two loop self-energy diagram satisfy Ward-identity, and their contributions possess particular factors. This work can help to distinguish the important two loop diagrams giving corrections to lepton MDM.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure

    The extended BLMSSM with a 125 GeV Higgs boson and dark matter

    Full text link
    To extend the BLMSSM, we not only add exotic Higgs superfields (ΦNL,φNL)(\Phi_{NL},\varphi_{NL}) to make the exotic lepton heavy, but also introduce the superfields(YY,Y′Y^\prime) having couplings with lepton and exotic lepton at tree level. The obtained model is called as EBLMSSM, which has difference from BLMSSM especially for the exotic slepton(lepton) and exotic sneutrino(neutrino). We deduce the mass matrices and the needed couplings in this model. To confine the parameter space, the Higgs boson mass mh0m_{h^0} and the processes h0→γγh^0\rightarrow \gamma\gamma, h0→VV,V=(Z,W)h^0\rightarrow VV, V=(Z,W) are studied in the EBLMSSM. With the assumed parameter space, we obtain reasonable numerical results according to data on Higgs from ATLAS and CMS. As a cold dark mater candidate, the relic density for the lightest mass eigenstate of YY and Y′Y' mixing is also studied
