Beyond the standard MSSM

TL;DR

This paper discusses an extension of the MSSM that addresses its limitations, offering new predictions for collider, dark matter, and flavor physics, with implications for gauge coupling unification.

Contribution

It introduces a simple, concrete extension of the MSSM that resolves flavor and CP issues and predicts distinctive signals at the LHC and in dark matter experiments.

Findings

Distinctive LHC signals predicted

Dark matter detection prospects altered

Flavor physics signatures differ from MSSM

Abstract

If supersymmetry is relevant at the Fermi scale, the lack of any direct signal so far may require going beyond the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In this talk I briefly summarize a simple and concrete extension of the MSSM that takes these issues, including a way to address the flavour and the CP problems. In its fully natural range of parameters, the expected signals for LHC, dark matter and flavour physics are clear and generally quite different from the ones of the MSSM. Gauge coupling unification may be only approximate.
