Abstract:
We study the nonstandard decays of the lightest Higgs state within the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model (E6SSM). We argued that the SM--like Higgs boson can decay predominantly into dark matter particles while its branching ratios into SM particles varies from 2% to 4%. This scenario also implies the presence of other relatively light Inert chargino and neutralino states in the particle spectrum with masses below 200 GeV. We argue that in this case the decays of the lightest Higgs boson into l^{+} l^{-} + X may play an essential role in the Higgs searches.Keywords:

Confronting the neutralino and chargino sector of the NMSSM with the multilepton searches at the LHC
We test the impact of the ATLAS and CMS multilepton searches performed at the LHC with 8 as well as 13 TeV center-of-mass energy (using only the pre-2018 results) on the chargino and neutralino sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). Our purpose consists in analyzing the actual reach of these searches for a full model and in emphasizing effects beyond the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) that affect the performance of current (MSSM-inspired) electroweakino searches. To this end, we consider several scenarios characterizing specific features of the NMSSM electroweakino sector. We then perform a detailed collider study, generating Monte Carlo events through pythia and testing against current LHC constraints implemented in the public tool checkmate. We find e.g., that supersymmetric decay chains involving intermediate singlino or Higgs-singlet states can modify the naive MSSM-like picture of the constraints by inducing final states with softer or less easily identifiable SM particles---reversely, a compressed configuration with singlino next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle occasionally induces final states that are rich with photons, which could provide complementary search channels.

We have completed the one-loop renormalisation of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allowing for and comparing between different renormalisation schemes. A special attention is paid to on-shell schemes. We study a variety of these schemes based on alternative choices of the physical input parameters. In this paper we present our approach to the renormalisation of the NMSSM and report on our results for the neutralino-chargino and sfermion sectors. We will borrow some results from our study of the Higgs sector whose full discussion is left for a separate publication. We have implemented the set up for all the sectors of the NMSSM within \sloops, a code for the automatic computation of one-loop corrections initially developed for the standard model and the MSSM. Among the many applications that allows the code, we present here the one-loop corrections to neutralino masses and to partial widths of neutralinos and charginos into final states with one gauge boson. One-loop electroweak and QCD corrections to the partial widths of third generation sfermions into a fermion and a chargino or a neutralino are also computed.

The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with singlino-like neutralino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) can open up possibilities for long-lived electroweakinos. We identify such regions in the NMSSM parameter space where the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) is a long-lived bino-like electroweakino, consistent with dark matter direct detection and collider constraints. These long-lived NLSPs can appear as displaced vertex signatures in the cascade decay of directly produced chargino-neutralino pairs at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). We study the prospects of observing such scenarios at the HL-LHC through track based analysis. We show that the discovery reach of the HL-LHC on the eletroweakino parameter space can be improved through focused long-lived particle searches.

We study the neutralino sector of the Minimal Non-minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MNSSM) where the μ problem of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is solved without accompanying problems related with the appearance of domain walls. In the MNSSM as in the MSSM the lightest neutralino can be the absolutely stable lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) providing a good candidate for the cold dark matter component of the Universe. In contrast with the MSSM the allowed range of the mass of the lightest neutralino in the MNSSM is limited. We establish the theoretical upper bound on the lightest neutralino mass in the framework of this model and obtain an approximate solution for this mass.

For the search for charginos and neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses of these particles an accurate knowledge of their production and decay properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the chargino and neutralino production at $$e^+e^-$$ colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production mechanisms $$e^+e^- \rightarrow {\tilde{\chi }}_{c}^\pm {\tilde{\chi }}_{c^\prime }^\mp $$ and $$e^+e^- \rightarrow {\tilde{\chi }}_{n}^0 {\tilde{\chi }}_{n^\prime }^0$$ including soft and hard photon radiation. We mostly restricted ourselves to a version of our renormalization scheme which is valid for $$|M_1| < |M_2|, |\mu |$$ and $$M_2 \ne \mu $$ to simplify the analysis, even though we are able to switch to other parameter regions and correspondingly different renormalization schemes. The dependence of the chargino/neutralino cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find sizable contributions to many production cross sections. They amount to roughly $${\pm }15\%$$ of the tree-level results but can go up to $${\pm }40\%$$ or higher in extreme cases. Also the complex phase dependence of the one-loop corrections was found non-negligible. The full one-loop contributions are thus crucial for physics analyses at a future linear $$e^+e^-$$ collider such as the ILC or CLIC.

The status of a search for the pair production of the lightest chargino and second lightest neutralino states of the minimal supersymmetric model is presented. We have searched for four tri-lepton final states: eee, eemu, emumu, and mumumu, all with missing transverse energy.

The modest addition of the dimension-5 term lambda(H_u.H_d)^2/M to the superpotential of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) originated from physics beyond the MSSM (BMSSM) has a significant impact on the scenario of the Higgsino-dominated neutralino state being the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). It increases the mass difference between the LSP and the lighter chargino as well as that between the LSP and the second-lightest neutralino. This enhances the LHC discovery potential of the chargino and neutralino decays, producing more energetic charged leptons or pions than the decays without the BMSSM corrections. Furthermore, the coannihilation between the lighter chargino or second-lightest neutralino and the LSP is reduced substantially such that the LSP mass does not have to be very heavy. Consequently, an almost pure Higgsino LSP with its mass ~100 GeV in the BMSSM can account for all the relic density of cold dark matter in the Universe unless tan(beta) is too large.
