A Full 24-Parameter MSSM Exploration

Abstract

Up until now a complete scan in all phenomenologically relevant directions of the MSSM at the TeV scale for performing global fit has not been done. Given the imminent start of operation of the LHC, this is a major gap on our quest to discovering and understanding the physical implications of low energy supersymmetry. The main reason for this is the large number of parameters involved that makes it computationally extremely expensive using the traditional methods. In this talk I demonstrate that with advanced sampling techniques the problem is solvable. The results from the explored 24-parameter TeV scale MSSM (phenoMSSM) are remarkably distinct from previous studies and are independent of models for supersymmetry breaking and mediation mechanisms. Hence they are a more robust guide to searches for supersymmetry and dark matter.

Calculation for Electric Dipole Moments of Lepton and Neutron in the N-B-LSSM via the Mass Insertion Approximation

In the N-B-LSSM, we calculate the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of lepton and neutron at the one loop level via the Mass Insertion Approximation (MIA). In the Standard Model (SM), charge parity (CP) violation originates only from the single phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, and the predicted EDMs of lepton and neutron are far below the current experimental upper limits. Thus, EDMs serve as sensitive probes for exploring CP-violating phases in new physics. The N-B-LSSM extends the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) by introducing right-handed neutrino superfields and additional singlet Higgs superfields, which enriches the particle spectrum and the sources of CP violation. We derive the one loop analytical expressions for lepton and quark EDMs, and reveal their dependence on model parameters such as $g_{YB}$, $θ_{μ_H}$, $θ_{1'}$, $θ_{BB'}$ and $\tanβ$. Numerical analyses demonstrate that EDM measurements strongly constrain the CP-violating parameter space of the N-B-LSSM and reveal the sensitivity of lepton and neutron EDMs to the extended gauge interactions and supersymmetric parameters. This study provides a systematic theoretical tool and numerical reference for exploring CP violation and new physics under the N-B-LSSM.

Entanglement Signatures of CPT Violation in Neutrino Oscillations

We investigate the joint influence of CPT violation and quantum-gravity-induced Planck-scale corrections on the entanglement entropy of two-flavor neutrino oscillations. Building on the CPT-violating neutrino mass matrix arising from flavour-blind Planck-scale physics, we compute the von Neumann entanglement entropy separately for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos and demonstrate that CPT violation directly imprints an observable asymmetry in their entropy profiles. For a degenerate mass spectrum (m_ν\simeq2\,\mathrm{eV}), non-zero Majorana phases a_{1} and a_{2} are required to reproduce the solar KamLAND discrepancy; these same phases control the amplitude of the entropy asymmetry. Our results establish that entanglement entropy provides a sensitive and novel probe of CPT-violating Planck-scale physics within neutrino phenomenology.

Attractors and Late Time Asymptotics in a Generalized Relativistic Second Order Spin Hydrodynamics

We investigate the attractor of spin density in relativistic spin hydrodynamics using Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator formalism in the spin probe limit. We derive the (0+1)D Bjorken flow equations and the associated attractor equation while retaining second order gradient corrections in the relevant relaxation constitutive equations including couplings associated with nonlinear response and nonlocal memory effects. We analyze the early time fixed point structure and analytically determine the early time attractor solution, thereby clarifying branch selection and the role of different dynamical corrections. We find that source-like driving terms modify the leading correction to the attractor solution without changing the fixed point structure, whereas self feedback terms involving the rotational stress tensor modify the dominant balance and modify the early time fixed point structure. We further analyze the late time asymptotics in the conformal limit and show that the newly added terms modify the algebraic prefactor and logarithmic phase shift, while leaving the leading late time decay unchanged. These results provide a unified picture of early time attractor and late time asymptotics in the conformal limit.
