SUSY Predictions for and from the LHC

TL;DR

This paper uses statistical analyses of experimental data to predict supersymmetric particle masses in various models, highlighting potential for detection at the LHC and ILC, and showing how early LHC data refines these predictions.

Contribution

It provides updated mass predictions for SUSY particles based on recent experimental constraints across multiple models, integrating LHC search data.

Findings

Light sparticle mass preferences in some models suggest good detection prospects.

Inclusion of LHC data raises predicted sparticle masses but aligns Higgs mass predictions with bounds.

Model predictions become more consistent with experimental bounds after incorporating LHC search results.

Abstract

On the basis of frequentist analyses of experimental constraints from electroweak precision data, (g-2)_mu, B-physics and cosmological data, we predict the masses of Higgs bosons and SUSY particles of the CMSSM, NUHM1, VCMSSM and mSUGRA. In the CMSSM, NUHM1 and VCMSSM we find preferences for sparticle masses that are relatively light, leading to good prospects for the LHC and the ILC. Including first data from SUSY searches at the LHC leads to an increase of the preferred sparticle mass scales, but improves the consistency of the model predictions for M_h with the LEP exclusion bounds.
