SUSY through the eyes of LHC
Speaker:Sezen Sekmen (HEPHY-SMI Seminar on fundamental interactions and symmetries)
Abstract:The LHC has yet seen no sign of new physics. Our current task is to understand the impact of this absence on the candidate new phy- sics models. Supersymmetry stands out as a very well-motivated new physics model, but it is a generic idea that has diverse rea- lizations. Still, most of this diversity can be addressed by a suf- ficiently generic 19-dimensional parameterization of the MSSM, called the phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) which captures a wide range of the supersymmetry phenomenology. In this talk, I will introduce the pMSSM, and describe the global Bayesian analysis we did that allowed us to draw generic conclusions on how the current data constrain the MSSM. Such an analysis also provides us input for designing the next phase of the LHC SUSY searches.
