Complementarity of direct and indirect searches in the pMSSM

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the pMSSM parameter space considering various experimental constraints, highlighting the importance of combined search strategies to probe supersymmetry effectively.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive study of the pMSSM under current experimental constraints and emphasizes the complementarity of different search methods.

Findings

Many pMSSM scenarios remain viable after current constraints.

Complementary searches are crucial for probing the full parameter space.

Future data will enhance the ability to test the pMSSM.

Abstract

We explore the pMSSM parameter space in view of the constraints from SUSY and monojet searches at the LHC, from Higgs data and flavour physics observables, as well as from dark matter searches. We show that whilst the simplest SUSY scenarios are already ruled out, there are still many possibilities left over in the pMSSM. We discuss the complementarity between different searches and consistency checks which are essential in probing the pMSSM and will be even more important in the near future with the next round of data becoming available.
