Aspects of High-Scale Supersymmetry in a Singlet-Extended Model

TL;DR

This paper explores high-scale supersymmetry in the nMSSM, focusing on dark matter and baryogenesis, proposing new scenarios compatible with current experimental constraints and the observed Higgs mass.

Contribution

It introduces a novel electroweak baryogenesis mechanism with vector-like multiplets and analyzes singlino dark matter viability at high supersymmetry scales.

Findings

Singlino can be a viable dark matter candidate with resonant Higgs exchange.

High-scale supersymmetry allows for successful baryogenesis and dark matter scenarios.

These models are consistent with Higgs mass, EDM, and flavor constraints.

Abstract

The nearly Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (nMSSM) is one of the promising models of the new physics, since this model can avoid hierarchy problem, mu problem, cosmological domain wall problem, and tadpole problem simultaneously. In this thesis, we consider the phenomenology of the nMSSM. Especially, we focus on the phenomenology of the dark matter and the baryon asymmetry in the universe generated by the electroweak baryogenesis mechanism. We find that with high-scale supersymmetry breaking the singlino can obtain a sizable radiative correction to the singlino mass, which opens a window for the singlet dark matter scenario with resonant annihilation via the exchange of the Higgs boson. We also propose a new electroweak baryogenesis scenario in the nMSSM with additional vector-like multiplets. If the soft supersymmetry breaking scale is O(10) TeV, these scenarios are compatible with each other and an observed mass of the Higgs boson, constraints by the electric dipole moments measurements and the flavor experiments. As a result of these two studies, we conclude that the nMSSM with a high-scale supersymmetry breaking is valid and can be probed by the direct direction of the singlino dark matter.
