B-Physics Observables and Electroweak Precision Data in the CMSSM, mGMSB and mAMSB

TL;DR

This paper compares the constrained MSSM, mGMSB, and mAMSB models using electroweak and B-physics data, finding all scenarios favor low mass scales and that future precision improvements will better constrain SUSY parameters.

Contribution

First comprehensive chi^2 analysis comparing EWPO and BPO in CMSSM, mGMSB, and mAMSB, including predictions for Higgs and SUSY spectra and future sensitivities.

Findings

Low mass scales favored in all scenarios

mAMSB has slightly lower chi^2 despite fewer parameters

Future data will significantly improve parameter constraints

Abstract

We explore electroweak precision observables (EWPO) and $B$-physics observables (BPO) in the CMSSM, the mGMSB and the mAMSB. We perform a chi^2 analysis based on the combination of current EWPO and BPO data. For the first time this allows the comparison of the mGMSB and mAMSB in terms of EWPO and BPO with the CMSSM. We find that relatively low mass scales in all three scenarios are favored. However, the current data from EWPO and BPO can hardly exclude any parameters at the level of Delta chi^2 = 9. Remarkably the mAMSB scenario, despite having one free GUT scale parameter less than the other two scenarios, has a somewhat lower total minimum chi^2. We present predictions for the lightest Higgs boson mass, based on the chi^2 analysis of current data, where relatively good compatibility with the bounds from Higgs searches at LEP is found. We also present the predictions for other Higgs sector parameters and SUSY mass scales, allowing to compare the reach of the LHC and the ILC in the three scenarios. We furthermore explore the future sensitivities of the EWPO and BPO for the current best-fit results and for a hypothetical point with somewhat higher mass scales that results in a similar Higgs and SUSY spectrum in the three scenarios. We find that the future improvement of the accuracy of the EWPO and BPO will lead to a significant gain in the indirect parameter determination. The improvement is similar in the CMSSM, mGMSB and mAMSB and will yield constraints to the parameter space even for heavy Higgs and SUSY mass scales.
