Recent work is reviewed in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in
which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small …

For decades, the unnaturalness of the weak scale has been the dominant problem
motivating new particle physics, and weak-scale supersymmetry has been the dominant …

A bstract The first 1 fb− 1 of LHC searches have set impressive limits on new colored
particles decaying to missing energy. We address the implication of these searches for …

A bstract The naturalness of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV is explored in a
variety of weak-scale supersymmetric models. A Higgs mass of this size strongly points …

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a mature option for the future of high energy physics.
It combines the benefits of the clean environment of $ e^+ e^-$ colliders with operation at …

Models of natural supersymmetry seek to solve the little hierarchy problem by positing a
spectrum of light Higgsinos≲ 200–300 GeV and light top squarks≲ 600 GeV along with very …

Weak scale supersymmetry is often said to be fine-tuned, especially if the matter content is
minimal. This is not true if there is a large A term for the top squarks. We present a systematic …

We present a new strategy to uncover light, quasidegenerate Higgsinos, a likely ingredient
in a natural supersymmetric model. Our strategy focuses on Higgsinos with interstate …

A bstract The apparent absence of light superpartners at the LHC strongly constrains the
viability of the MSSM as a solution to the hierarchy problem. These constraints can be …

Recent null results from LHC8 supersymmetry (SUSY) searches along with the discovery of
a standard model (SM)–like Higgs boson with mass mh≃ 125.5 GeV indicates sparticle …
