LHC searches for high-multiplicity jets are relevant

Dark matter candidate is predominantly bino with specific mass hierarchy

Abstract

The discovery of supersymmetry (SUSY) via action of the cold dark matter candidate is being led on the indirect collider production front by the LHC, and correspondingly by the XENON100 collaboration on the direct detection front. We undertake a dual case study of the specific SUSY signatures which the No-Scale flipped SU(5) x U(1)_X grand unified theory with TeV-scale vector-like particles (No-Scale F-SU(5)) would exhibit at each of these experiments. We demonstrate a correlation between the near-term prospects of these two distinct approaches. We feature a dark matter candidate which is over 99% bino due to a comparatively large Higgs bilinear mass \mu-term around the electroweak scale, and thus automatically satisfy the current constraints from the XENON100 and CDMS/EDELWEISS experiments. We do however expect that the ongoing extension of the XENON100 run may effectively probe our model. Likewise, our model is also currently being probed by the LHC via a search for events with ultra-high multiplicity hadronic jets, which are a characteristic feature of the distinctive No-Scale F-SU(5) mass hierarchy.
