The NUHM2 after LHC Run 1

We make a frequentist analysis of the parameter space of the NUHM2, in which the soft supersymmetry (SUSY)-breaking contributions to the masses of the two Higgs multiplets, m H u , d 2 , vary independently from the universal soft SUSY-breaking contributions m 0 2 to the masses of squarks and slepton...

Zusammenfassung:We make a frequentist analysis of the parameter space of the NUHM2, in which the soft supersymmetry (SUSY)-breaking contributions to the masses of the two Higgs multiplets, m H u , d 2 , vary independently from the universal soft SUSY-breaking contributions m 0 2 to the masses of squarks and sleptons. Our analysis uses the MultiNest sampling algorithm with over 4 × 10 8 points to sample the NUHM2 parameter space. It includes the ATLAS and CMS Higgs mass measurements as well as the ATLAS search for supersymmetric jets +  / E T signals using the full LHC Run 1 data, the measurements of BR ( B s → μ + μ - ) by LHCb and CMS together with other B-physics observables, electroweak precision observables and the XENON100 and LUX searches for spin-independent dark-matter scattering. We find that the preferred regions of the NUHM2 parameter space have negative SUSY-breaking scalar masses squared at the GUT scale for squarks and sleptons, m 0 2 < 0 , as well as m H u 2 < m H d 2 < 0 . The tension present in the CMSSM and NUHM1 between the supersymmetric interpretation of ( g - 2 ) μ and the absence to date of SUSY at the LHC is not significantly alleviated in the NUHM2. We find that the minimum χ 2 = 32.5 with 21 degrees of freedom (dof) in the NUHM2, to be compared with χ 2 / dof = 35.0 / 23 in the CMSSM, and χ 2 / dof = 32.7 / 22 in the NUHM1. We find that the one-dimensional likelihood functions for sparticle masses and other observables are similar to those found previously in the CMSSM and NUHM1.
