Abstract

Abstract We perform global fits to the parameters of the Constrained Minimal Super-symmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) and to a variant with non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM1). In addition to constraints from low-energy precision observables and the cosmological dark matter density, we take into account the LHC exclusions from searches in jets plus missing transverse energy signatures with about 5 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. We also include the most recent upper bound on the branching ratio B s → μμ from LHCb. Furthermore, constraints from and implications for direct and indirect dark matter searches are discussed. The best fit of the CMSSM prefers a light Higgs boson just above the experimentally excluded mass. We find that the description of the low-energy observables, (g − 2) μ in particular, and the non-observation of SUSY at the LHC become more and more incompatible within the CMSSM. A potential SM-like Higgs boson with mass around 126 GeV can barely be accommodated. Values for $ \mathcal{B}\left( {{B_{\text{s}}} \to \mu \mu } \right) $ just around the Standard Model prediction are naturally expected in the best fit region. The most-preferred region is not yet affected by limits on direct WIMP searches, but the next generation of experiments will probe this region. Finally, we discuss implications from fine-tuning for the best fit regions.

Highlights

  • Matter (DM) density in the Universe [5] can be explained by a stable neutralino lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), acting as a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) [6]

  • We find that the description of the low-energy observables, (g − 2)μ in particular, and the non-observation of SUSY at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) become more and more incompatible within the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM)

  • We have presented a global fit of the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and a non-universal Higgs mass model (NUHM1) to low-energy precision measurements, dark matter observables and, in particular, current LHC exclusion limits from direct SUSY searches in the zero-lepton plus jets and missing transverse energy channel
