PeV - Scale Supersymmetry

نویسنده

  • James D. Wells
چکیده

Although supersymmetry has not been seen directly by experiment, there are powerful physics reasons to suspect that it should be an ingredient of nature and that superpartner masses should be somewhat near the weak scale. I present an argument that if we dismiss our ordinary intuition of finetuning, and focus entirely on more concrete physics issues, the PeV scale might be the best place for supersymmetry. PeV-scale supersymmetry admits gauge coupling unification, predicts a Higgs mass between 125 GeV and 155 GeV, and generally disallows flavor changing neutral currents and CP violating effects in conflict with current experiment. The PeV scale is motivated independently by dark matter and neutrino mass considerations.

Supersymmetry from typicality: TeV-scale gauginos and PeV-scale squarks and sleptons.

We argue that under a set of simple assumptions the multiverse leads to low-energy supersymmetry with the spectrum often called spread or minisplit supersymmetry: the gauginos are in the TeV region with the other superpartners 2 or 3 orders of magnitude heavier. We present a particularly simple realization of supersymmetric grand unified theory using this idea.

Requirements to Detect the Monoenergetic Photon Signature of Thermal Cold Dark Matter in PeV-Scale Split Supersymmetry

Split supersymmetry scenarios with PeV-scale scalar masses circumvent many of the restrictions on supersymmetry coming from experimental limits on CP violation, flavor-changing neutral currents, and the Higgs boson mass. We consider the situation where the LSP is either a Wino or Higgsino and the majority of its cold dark matter relic density is of thermal origin, in which case its mass is spec...

Cosmic rays and neutrino interactions beyond the standard model

It has been suggested that the neutrino-nucleon cross section could be enhanced by new physics beyond the electroweak scale in the center of mass frame, or above about a PeV in the nucleon rest frame. A specific implementation of this possibility is given in theories with n additional dimensions and a quantum gravity scale M ∼TeV that has recently received much attention in the literature [1] b...

On-line Decentralized Charging of Plug-In Electric Vehicles in Power Systems

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) are gaining increasing popularity in recent years, due to the growing societal awareness of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the dependence on foreign oil or petroleum. Large-scale implementation of PEVs in the power system currently faces many challenges. One particular concern is that the PEV charging can potentially cause significant impact on the e...

Large-scale Cosmic-ray Anisotropy with Kascade

We present the results of an analysis of the large-scale anisotropy of cosmic rays in the PeV range. The Rayleigh formalism is applied to the right ascension distribution of extensive air showers measured by the KASCADE (Karlsruhe Shower Core and Array Detector) experiment. The data set contains about 108 extensive air showers in the energy range 0.7–6 PeV. No hints of anisotropy are visible in...
