## TL;DR

This paper investigates the upper bounds on sfermion masses in PeV-scale split supersymmetry derived from Higgs mass measurements and electroweak vacuum stability, highlighting the role of RGE contributions and collider prospects.

## Contribution

It provides new upper bounds on sfermion masses in split SUSY at PeV scales based on Higgs and vacuum stability constraints, considering RGE effects from Higgsinos and gauginos.

## Key findings

- Upper bound on SUSY breaking scale around 10^3 TeV for tanβ=2.
- Electroweak vacuum stability constrains sfermion masses to about 10^4 TeV.
- PeV-scale split SUSY is consistent with current Higgs and vacuum stability data.

## Abstract

The null results of the LHC searches have put strong bounds on new physics scenario such as supersymmetry (SUSY). With the latest values of top quark mass and strong coupling, we study the upper bounds on the sfermion masses in Split-SUSY from the observed Higgs boson mass and electroweak (EW) vacuum stability. To be consistent with the observed Higgs mass, we find that the largest value of supersymmetry breaking scales $M_{S}$ for $\tan\beta=2$ and $\tan\beta=4$ are $\mathcal{O} (10^{3}\, {\rm TeV})$ and $\mathcal{O} (10^{1.5}\, {\rm TeV})$ respectively, thus putting an upper bound on the sfermion masses around $10^{3}\, {\rm TeV}$. In addition, the Higgs quartic coupling becomes negative at much lower scale than the Standard Model (SM), and we extract the upper bound of $\mathcal{O}(10^{4}\, {\rm TeV})$ on the sfermion masses from EW vacuum stability. Therefore, we obtain the PeV-Scale Split-SUSY. The key point is the extra contributions to the Renormalization Group Equation (RGE) running from the couplings among Higgs boson, Higgsinos, and gauginos. We briefly comment on the lifetime of gluinos in our study and compare it with current LHC observations. Additionally, we comment on the prospects of discovery of prompt gluinos in a 100 TeV proton-propton collider.
