Supersymmetry with scalar sequestering

Supersymmetric models with a strongly interacting superconformal hidden sector (HS) may drive soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scalar masses, bilinear soft term Bμ and Higgs combinations mHu,d2+μ2 to small values at some intermediate scale, leading to unique sparticle mass spectra along with possibly diminished fine-tuning in spite of a large superpotential μ parameter. We set up a computer code to calculate such spectra, which are then susceptible to a variety of constraints: (1) possible charge-or-color breaking (CCB) minima in the scalar potential, (2) unbounded from below (UFB) scalar potential, (3) improper electroweak symmetry breaking, (4) a charged or sneutrino lightest SUSY particle (LSP), (5) generating mh∼125 GeV, (6) consistency with LHC sparticle mass limits, and (7) naturalness. We find this bevy of constraints leaves little or no viable parameter space for the case where hidden sector dynamics dominates minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) running, even for the case of nonuniversal gaugino masses. For the case with moderate HS running with comparable MSSM running, and with universal gaugino masses, then the fine-tuning is ameliorated, but nonetheless remains high. Viable spectra with moderate HS running and with low fine-tuning and large μ can be found for nonuniversal gaugino masses. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

A fast and time-efficient machine learning approach to dark matter searches in compressed mass scenario

Various analyses for searching for the signature of SUSY or exotic particles have been carried out by the experiments at CERN. These analyses made use of traditional cut and count methods. While this method has yielded promising results, it has been challenging in the region where the mass difference between SUSY particles is small. Deep learning is currently widely employed in most data analysis tasks, including high energy physics, and has made significant advances in almost all fields for collecting and interpreting huge data samples. In this paper, a fast and time-efficient classification technique is proposed, utilizing machine learning algorithms to distinguish dark matter signal from SM background in compressed mass spectra scenarios at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. A classification model was built in a short amount of time using 2D histograms produced with less amount of data, effectively reducing computational costs through the transfer learning of pre-trained deep models while maintaining a high level of classification accuracy.

Hunting ewinos and a light scalar of Z3-NMSSM with a bino-like dark matter in top squark decays at the LHC

We explore a possible signal of the presence of relatively light electroweakinos (ewinos) and a singlet-like scalar (aS) of the Z3-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (Z3-NMSSM) in the cascade decays of not so heavy top squarks (mt~1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {m}_{{\ ilde{t}}_1} $$\\end{document} ≲ 1.5 TeV) that may be produced in pairs at the Large Hadron Collider LHC. We work in a scenario where the lightest (next-to-lightest) SUSY particle is bino (singlino)-like with its mass below 100 GeV and is mildly tempered with higgsino and singlino admixtures. The singlet-like scalar provides an annihilation funnel for the bino-like states such that the latter could act as a viable dark matter candidate, unlike what is now highly constrained in the MSSM. We consider a pair of immediately heavier neutralinos and the lighter chargino which all are higgsino-like with masses in the range ~ 0.5–1 TeV and are still compatible with all experimental constraints. While these states may not be accessible in their direct searches at the LHC in our present scenario, such ewinos could still be traced in the decays of the top squarks of the above-mentioned kind. We consider the signal final state at the LHC. We find that while a usual cut-based analysis (CBA) of LHC data worth 300 fb−1 would be unable to discover such excitations, a multivariate analysis (MVA) can be reasonably sensitive to higgsino-like ewinos having masses ≳ 650 GeV when mt~1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {m}_{{\ ilde{t}}_1} $$\\end{document} ≳ 1 TeV. On the other hand, with 3000 fb−1 of data, these masses become accessible in a CBA while even an MVA on such a data set is unlikely to find these ewinos with masses around 1 TeV when mt~1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {m}_{{\ ilde{t}}_1} $$\\end{document} hits ∼ 1.5 TeV.

Pseudoscalar MSSM Higgs Production at NLO SUSY-QCD

One of the most important mechanisms at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the production of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the loop-induced gluon fusion process gg → A. The higher-order QCD corrections have been obtained a long time ago and turned out to be large. However, the genuine supersymmetric (SUSY–)QCD corrections have been obtained only in the limit of large SUSY particle masses so far. We describe our calculation of the next-to-leading-order (NLO) SUSY-QCD results with full mass dependence and present numerical results for a few representative benchmark points. We also address the treatment of the effective top and bottom Yukawa couplings, in the case of heavy SUSY particles, in terms of effective low-energy theories where the heavy degrees of freedom have been decoupled. Furthermore, we include a discussion of the relation between the SUSY-QCD corrections that we have computed and the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the axial anomaly. In addition, we apply our results to the gluonic and photonic pseudoscalar Higgs decays A → gg, γγ at NLO.

Higgs-boson masses and mixings in the MSSM with CP violation and heavy SUSY particles

We calculate the Higgs-boson mass spectrum and the corresponding mixing of the Higgs states in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We assume a mass-hierarchy with heavy SUSY particles and light Higgs bosons. To investigate this scenario, we employ an effective-field-theory approach with a low-energy Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) where both Higgs doublets couple to right-handed up- as well as right-handed down-type fermions. We perform a one-loop matching of the MSSM to the 2HDM and evolve the parameters to the low energy scale by exploiting two-loop renormalization group equations, taking the complex parameters into account. For the calculation of the pole mass, we compare three different options: one suitable for large charged Higgs mass, one for low charged Higgs mass, and one approximation that interpolates between these scenarios. The phase dependence of the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson can be sizeable, i.e. of the order of a couple of GeV depending on the scenario. In addition, we discuss the CP composition of the neutral Higgs bosons.

M_W, dark matter and a_mu in the NMSSM

We study regions in the parameter space of the NMSSM which are able to simultaneously explain the current measured values for the W mass M_W and the muon anomalous magnetic moment a_mu , and provide a dark matter relic density consistent with the observations as well as constraints from detection experiments. The corresponding regions feature light charginos and sleptons in the 100 GeV–1 TeV range, at least some of them with masses below 175 GeV such such that the electroweakly-interacting SUSY particles generate sufficiently large contributions to M_W. The LSP is always singlino-like with a mass below 150 GeV, and could possibly remain invisible even at future detection experiments. Decays of electroweak sparticles proceed through cascades via staus and/or sleptons which makes their detection challenging. We propose benchmark points for future searches of such sparticles. The lightest CP-even scalar may have a mass in the 95–98 GeV range with, however, modest signal rates in view of the mild excesses reported in this range at LEP and by CMS at the LHC.

Long-term LHC discovery reach for compressed Supersymmetry models using VBF processes

The identity of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most active topics in particle physics today. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an extension of the standard model (SM) that could describe the particle nature of DM in the form of the lightest neutralino in R-parity conserving models. We focus on SUSY models that solve the hierarchy problem with small fine tuning, and where the lightest SUSY particles left({tilde{upchi}}_1^0,{tilde{upchi}}_1^{pm },{tilde{upchi}}_2^0right) are a triplet of higgsino-like states, such that the mass difference Delta mleft({tilde{upchi}}_2^0,{tilde{upchi}}_1^0right) is 0.5–50 GeV. We perform a feasibility study to assess the long-term discovery potential for these compressed SUSY models with higgsino-like states, using vector boson fusion (VBF) processes in the context of proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV, at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Assuming an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb−1, we find that stringent VBF requirements, combined with large missing momentum and one or two low-pT leptons, is effective at reducing the major SM backgrounds, leading to a 5σ (3σ) discovery reach for mleft({tilde{upchi}}_2^0right) < 180 (260) GeV, and a projected 95% confidence level exclusion region that covers mleft({tilde{upchi}}_2^0right) up to 385 GeV, parameter space that is currently unconstrained by other experiments.

Smuon in the NMSSM confronted with the muon g–2 anomaly and SUSY searches* *Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC, 11605123)

Motivated by recent supersymmetry (SUSY) search results, which prefer most SUSY particles to be heavy, and the muon g–2 anomaly, which prefers colorless SUSY particles to be light, we explore the status of a light smuon (the SUSY partner of a left-handed muon lepton) in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). Assuming colored SUSY particles to be heavy, and considering numerous experimental constraints, including muon g-2, SUSY searches, and dark matter, we scan the parameter space in the NMSSM with -symmetry and check the status of colorless SUSY particles and their possible mass order, paying special attention to the smuon. After calculations and discussions, we find that the surviving samples can be divided into several scenarios, where the mass region and decay information of the smuon are given. Overall, the smuon mass can be approximately 0.1~1.8 TeV. These results may be useful for smuon searches at the LHC and future colliders.

Supersymmetric explanation of the muon g – 2 anomaly with and without stable neutralino

In this paper we explore the possibility of explaining the muon g − 2 anomaly in various types of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In particular, we investigate and compare the phenomenological constraints in the MSSM with stable neutralino and the other types of scenarios where the neutralino is unstable. For the latter case we study the Gauge Mediated SUSY Breaking (GMSB) scenario with very light gravitino and the UDD-type R-Parity Violating (RPV) scenario. In the MSSM with stable neutralino, the parameter region favoured by the (g − 2)μ is strongly constrained by the neutralino relic abundance and the dark matter direct detection experiments, as well as by the LHC searches in the lepton plus missing transverse energy channel. On the other hand, the scenarios without stable neutralino are free from the dark matter constraints, while the LHC constraints depends strongly on the decay of the neutralino. We find that in GMSB the entire parameter region favoured by the muon g − 2 is already excluded if the Next Lightest SUSY Particle (NLSP) is the neutralino. In the GMSB scenario with a stau NSLP and in the RPV scenario, LHC constraints are weaker than the stable neutralino case and a larger region of parameter space is available to fit the (g − 2)μ anomaly.

An anthropic solution to the cosmological moduli problem

Light moduli fields, gravitationally coupled scalar fields with no classical potential and which are expected to emerge as remnants from string theory compactification, are dangerous to cosmology in that 1. their late-time decays may disrupt successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), 2. they may decay into gravitino pairs which result in violation of BBN constraints or overproduction of lightest SUSY particles (LSPs, assumed to constitute at least a portion of the dark matter in the universe) and 3. they may decay directly into LSPs, resulting in gross DM overproduction. Together, these constitute the cosmological moduli problem (CMP). The combined effects require lightest modulus mass mϕ≳104 TeV, and if the lightest modulus mass mϕ is correlated with the SUSY breaking scale m3/2, then the underlying SUSY model would be highly unnatural. We present a solution to the CMP wherein the lightest modulus initial field strength ϕ0 is anthropically selected to be ϕ0∼10−7mP by the requirement that the dark matter-to-baryonic matter ratio be not-too-far removed from its present value so that sufficient baryons are present in the universe to create observers. In this case, instead of dark matter overproduction via neutralino reannihilation at the modulus decay temperature, the neutralinos inherit the reduced moduli number density, thereby gaining accord with the measured dark matter relic density.

The cosmological moduli problem and naturalness

Nowadays, the cosmological moduli problem (CMP) comes in three parts: 1. potential violation of Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) constraints from late decaying moduli fields, 2. the moduli-induced gravitino problem wherein gravitinos are overproduced and their decays violate BBN or dark matter overproduction bounds and 3. the moduli-induced lightest SUSY particle (LSP) overproduction problem. Also, the CMP may be regarded as either a problem or else a solution to scenarios with dark matter over- or under-production. We examine the cosmological moduli problem and its connection to electroweak naturalness. We calculate the various two-body decay widths of a light modulus field into MSSM particles and gravitinos within general supersymmetric models. We include both phase space and mixing effects. We examine cases without and with helicity suppression of modulus decays to gravitinos (cases 1 & 2) and/or gauginos (cases A & B). For case B1, we evaluate regions of gravitino mass m3/2 vs. modulus mass mϕ parameter space constrained by BBN, by overproduction of gravitinos and by overproduction of neutralino dark matter, along with connections to naturalness. For this case, essentially all of parameter space is excluded unless mϕ ≳ 2.5 × 103 TeV with mϕ< 2m3/2. For a potentially most propitious case B2 with ϕ decay to Higgs and matter turned off, then modulus branching fractions to SUSY and to gravitinos become highly suppressed at large mϕ. But since the modulus number density increases faster than the branching fractions decrease, there is still gross overproduction of neutralino dark matter. We also show that in this scenario the thermally produced gravitino problem is fixed by huge entropy dilution, but non-thermal gravitino production from moduli decay remains a huge problem unless it is kinematically suppressed with mϕ< 2m3/2. In a pedagogical appendix, we present detailed calculations of modulus field two-body decay widths.

Search for charginos and neutralinos in final states with two boosted hadronically decaying bosons and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for charginos and neutralinos at the Large Hadron Collider is reported using fully hadronic final states and missing transverse momentum. Pair-produced charginos or neutralinos are explored, each decaying into a high-$p_{\text{T}}$ Standard Model weak boson. Fully-hadronic final states are studied to exploit the advantage of the large branching ratio, and the efficient background rejection by identifying the high-$p_{\text{T}}$ bosons using large-radius jets and jet substructure information. An integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is used. No significant excess is found beyond the Standard Model expectation. The 95% confidence level exclusion limits are set on wino or higgsino production with varying assumptions in the decay branching ratios and the type of the lightest supersymmetric particle. A wino (higgsino) mass up to 1060 (900) GeV is excluded when the lightest SUSY particle mass is below 400 (240) GeV and the mass splitting is larger than 400 (450) GeV. The sensitivity to high-mass wino and higgsino is significantly extended compared with the previous LHC searches using the other final states.

The new \u201cMUON G-2\u201d result and supersymmetry

The electroweak (EW) sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), with the lightest neutralino as Dark Matter (DM) candidate, can account for a variety of experimental data. This includes the DM content of the universe, DM direct detection limits, EW SUSY searches at the LHC and in particular the so far persistent 3-4,sigma discrepancy between the experimental result for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, (g-2)_mu , and its Standard Model (SM) prediction. The recently published “MUON G-2” result is within {0.8},sigma in agreement with the older BNL result on (g-2)_mu . The combination of the two results was given as a_mu ^{mathrm{exp}} = (11 659 {206.1}pm {4.1}) times 10^{-10}, yielding a new deviation from the SM prediction of Delta a_mu = ({25.1}pm {5.9}) times 10^{-10}, corresponding to {4.2},sigma . Using this improved bound we update the results presented in Chakraborti et al. (Eur Phys J C 80(10):984, 2020) and set new upper limits on the allowed parameters space of the EW sector of the MSSM. We find that with the new (g-2)_mu result the upper limits on the (next-to-) lightest SUSY particle are in the same ballpark as previously, yielding updated upper limits on these masses of sim 750 ,, mathrm {GeV}. In this way, a clear target is confirmed for future (HL-)LHC EW searches, as well as for future high-energy e^+e^- colliders, such as the ILC or CLIC.

Search for physics beyond the standard model in final states with two or three soft leptons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at TeV

The most recent CMS results from a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) with a compressed mass spectrum in leptonic final states will be presented. The search is targeting signatures with missing transverse momentum and two or three low-momentum (soft) leptons. The dataset used is collected by the CMS experiment during the Run–2 proton-proton collisions at TeV at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of up to 137 fb−1. The observed data are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and exclusion upper limits are set on the SUSY particles production cross section. The results are interpreted in terms of electroweakino and top squark pair production. In both cases, a small mass difference between the produced SUSY particles and the lightest neutralino is considered. A wino-bino and a higgsino simplified models are used for the electroweakino interpretation. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on masses up to 280 GeV for a mass difference between the and the lightest neutralino of 10 GeV for the wino-bino production. In the higgsino interpretation masses are excluded up to 210 GeV for a mass difference of 7.5 GeV and up to 150 GeV for a mass difference of 3 GeV. The results for the higgsino production are additionally interpreted in terms of a phenomenological minimal SUSY extension of the standard model, excluding the higgsino mass parameter μ up to 180 GeV for bino mass parameter M1 = 800 GeV. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the top squark pair production interpretation, excluding top squark masses up to 530 GeV in the four-body top squark decay model and up to 475 GeV in the chargino-mediated decay model for a mass difference between the top squark and the lightest neutralino of 30 GeV.

Supervariable and BRST Approaches to a Reparameterization Invariant Nonrelativistic System

We exploit the theoretical strength of the supervariable and Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalisms to derive the proper (i.e., off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting) (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations for the reparameterization invariant model of a nonrelativistic (NR) free particle whose spacexand timetvariables are a function of an evolution parameterτ. The infinitesimal reparameterization (i.e., 1D diffeomorphism) symmetry transformation of our theory is defined w.r.t. this evolution parameterτ. We apply the modified Bonora-Tonin (BT) supervariable approach (MBTSA) as well as the (anti)chiral supervariable approach (ACSA) to BRST formalism to discuss various aspects of our present system. For this purpose, our 1D ordinary theory (parameterized byτ) is generalized onto a1,2-dimensional supermanifold which is characterized by the superspace coordinatesZM=τ,θ,θ¯where a pair of the Grassmannian variables satisfy the fermionic relationships:θ2=θ¯2=0,θ θ¯+θ¯ θ=0, andτis the bosonic evolution parameter. In the context of ACSA, we take into account only the1,1-dimensional (anti)chiral super submanifolds of the general1,2-dimensional supermanifold. The derivation of the universal Curci-Ferrari- (CF-) type restriction, from various underlying theoretical methods, is a novel observation in our present endeavor. Furthermore, we note that the form of the gauge-fixing and Faddeev-Popov ghost terms for our NR and non-SUSY system is exactly the same as that of the reparameterization invariant SUSY (i.e., spinning) and non-SUSY (i.e., scalar) relativistic particles. This is a novel observation, too.

Search for Electroweak Production of Charginos and Neutralinos in Multileptonic Final States with the ATLAS Experiment

Supersymmetry, or SUSY, is one of the proposed extensions to the Standard Model, representing a solution to some of its limitations, such as the hierarchy problem. It introduces new particle states which may be produced at the ATLAS experiment, which has been taking data at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$ TeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Due to existing constraints on the value of the masses of strongly coupled SUSY particles (or ‘‘sparticles’’), the electroweak production of weakly interacting sparticles may become the key mechanism to search for beyond-the-Standard-Model physics at the LHC. A search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos decaying to multileptonic final states using Run 2 data collected with the ATLAS experiment is presented. Results are interpreted in the context of simplified models in which charginos and neutralinos undergo $$R$$ -parity-conserving decays via intermediate production of gauge and Higgs bosons.

Hybrid calculation of the MSSM Higgs boson masses using the complex THDM as EFT

Recently, the Higgs boson masses in the Minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and their mixing have been calculated using the complex two-Higgs-doublet model (cTHDM) as an effective field theory (EFT) of the MSSM. Here, we discuss the implementation of this calculation, which we improve in several aspects, into the hybrid framework of FeynHiggs by combing the cTHDM-EFT calculation with the existing fixed-order calculation. This combination allows accurate predictions also in the intermediate regime where some SUSY particles are relatively light, some relatively heavy and some in between. Moreover, the implementation provides precise predictions for the Higgs decay rates and production cross-sections.

A new approach to modelling elastic and inelastic photon-initiated production at the LHC: SuperChic 4

We present the results of the new SuperChic 4 Monte Carlo implementation of photon-initiated production in proton–proton collisions, considering as a first example the case of lepton pair production. This is based on the structure function calculation of the underlying process, and focusses on a complete account of the various contributing channels, including the case where a rapidity gap veto is imposed. We provide a careful treatment of the contributions where either (single dissociation), both (double dissociation) or neither (elastic) proton interacts inelastically and dissociates, and interface our results to Pythia for showering and hadronization. The particle decay distribution from dissociation system, as well the survival probability for no additional proton–proton interactions, are both fully accounted for; these are essential for comparing to data where a rapidity gap veto is applied. We present detailed results for the impact of the veto requirement on the differential cross section, compare to and find good agreement with ATLAS 7 TeV data on semi-exclusive production, and provide a new precise evaluation of the background from semi-exclusive lepton pair production to SUSY particle production in compressed mass scenarios, which is found to be low.

Enhanced $\Gamma(p\to K^0\mu^+)/\Gamma(p\to K^+\bar{\nu}_\mu)$ as a signature of minimal renormalizable SUSY SO (10) GUT

Abstract The ratio of the partial widths of some dimension-5 proton decay modes can be predicted without detailed knowledge of supersymmetric (SUSY) particle masses, and this allows us to experimentally test various SUSY grand unified theory (GUT) models without discovering SUSY particles. In this paper, we study the ratio of the partial widths of the $p\to K^0\mu^+$ and $p\to K^+\bar{\nu}_\mu$ decays in the minimal renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ GUT, under only a plausible assumption that the 1st- and 2nd-generation left-handed squarks are mass-degenerate. In the model, we expect that the Wilson coefficients of dimension-5 operators responsible for these modes are on the same order and that the ratio of $p\to K^0\mu^+$ and $p\to K^+\bar{\nu}_\mu$ partial widths is $O(0.1)$. Hence, we may be able to detect both $p\to K^0\mu^+$ and $p\to K^+\bar{\nu}_\mu$ decays at Hyper-Kamiokande, thereby gaining a hint for the minimal renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ GUT. Moreover, since this partial width ratio is quite suppressed in the minimal $SU(5)$ GUT, it allows us to distinguish the minimal renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ GUT from the minimal $SU(5)$ GUT. In the main body of the paper, we perform a fitting of the quark and lepton masses and flavor mixings with the Yukawa couplings of the minimal renormalizable $SO(10)$ GUT, and derive a concrete prediction for the partial width ratio based on the fitting results. We find that the partial width ratio generally varies in the range $0.05$–$0.6$, confirming the above expectation.

Muon g \u2212 2 in Higgs-anomaly mediation

A simple model for the explanation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment was proposed by the present authors within the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model [1, 2]: Higgs-anomaly mediation. In the setup, squarks, sleptons, and gauginos are massless at tree-level, but the Higgs doublets get large negative soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking masses squared {m}_{H_u}^2simeq {m}_{H_d}^2<0 at a certain energy scale, Minp. The sfermion masses are radiatively generated by anomaly mediation and Higgs-loop effects, and gaugino masses are solely determined by anomaly mediation. Consequently, the smuons and bino are light enough to explain the muon g − 2 anomaly while the third generation sfermions are heavy enough to explain the observed Higgs boson mass. The scenario avoids the SUSY flavor problem as well as various cosmological problems, and is consistent with the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. In this paper, we show that, although the muon g − 2 explanation in originally proposed Higgs-anomaly mediation with Minp∼ 1016 GeV is slightly disfavored by the latest LHC data, the muon g − 2 can still be explained at 1σ level when Higgs mediation becomes important at the intermediate scale, Minp∼ 1012 GeV. The scenario predicts light SUSY particles that can be fully covered by the LHC and future collider experiments. We also provide a simple realization of {m}_{H_u}^2simeq {m}_{H_d}^2<0 at the intermediate scale.
