Split SUSY Radiates Flavor

Radiative flavor models where the hierarchies of Standard Model (SM) fermion masses and mixings are explained via loop corrections are elegant ways to solve the SM flavor puzzle. Here we build such a model in the context of Mini-Split Supersymmetry (SUSY) where both flavor and SUSY breaking occur at a scale of 1000 TeV. This model is consistent with the observed Higgs mass, unification, and WIMP dark matter. The high scale allows large flavor mixing among the sfermions, which provides part of the mechanism for radiative flavor generation. In the deep UV, all flavors are treated democratically, but at the SUSY breaking scale, the third, second, and first generation Yukawa couplings are generated at tree level, one loop, and two loops, respectively. Save for one, all the dimensionless parameters in the theory are O(1), with the exception being a modest and technically natural tuning that explains both the smallness of the bottom Yukawa coupling and the largeness of the Cabibbo angle.Comment: 55 pages, 14 figures. v2: Typos fixed and references added. v3: More typos fixed and figure correcte

Probing Quarkonium Production Mechanisms with Jet Substructure

We use fragmenting jet functions (FJFs) in the context of quarkonia to study the production channels predicted by NRQCD (3S_1^(1), 3S_1^(8), 1S_0^(8), 3P_J^(8)). We choose a set of FJFs that give the probability to find a quarkonium with a given momentum fraction inside a cone-algorithm jet with fixed cone size and energy. This observable gives several lever arms that allow one to distinguish different production channels. In particular, we show that at fixed momentum fraction the individual production mechanisms have distinct behaviors as a function of the the jet energy. As a consequence of this fact, we arrive at the robust prediction that if the depolarizing 1S_0^(8) matrix element dominates, then the gluon FJF will diminish with increasing energy for fixed momentum fraction, z, and z > 0.5.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures; v2: Typos fixed, figures updated and new figure added to reflect nontrivial error correlation in long-distance matrix element determination which leads to stronger prediction for our observables; v3: Operational discussion of fragmenting jet function expanded and figure typo fixe
