On dark matter selected high-scale supersymmetry
A bstractThe prediction for the Higgs mass in the dark matter selected high-scale SUSY is explored. We show the bounds on SUSY-breaking scale in models of SM +w˜$$ +\tilde{w} $$ and SM +h˜/s˜$$ +\tilde{h}/\tilde{s} $$ due to the observed Higgs mass at the LHC. We propose that effective theory below scale m˜$$ \tilde{m} $$ described by SM +w˜$$ +\tilde{w} $$ is possibly realized in gauge mediation with multiple spurion fields that exhibit significant mass hierarchy, and that by SM +h˜/s˜$$ +\tilde{h}/\tilde{s} $$ can be realized with direct singlet-messenger-messenger coupling for singlet Yukawa coupling λ∼v/m˜1/2gSM$$ \lambda \sim {\left(v/\tilde{m}\right)}^{1/2}{g}_{\mathrm{SM}} $$. Finally, the constraint on high-scale SUSY is investigated in the light of inflation physics if these two subjects are directly related.

title: Variant supercurrents and linearized supergravity
abstract: In this paper, the variant supercurrents based on consistency and completion in off-shell supergravity are studied. We formulate the embedding relations for supersymmetric current and energy tensor into a supercurrent multiplet. Corresponding linearized supergravity is obtained with an appropriate choice of the Wess–Zumino gauge in each gravity supermultiplet.

title: Electroweak precision tests on the MSSM and NMSSM constrained at the LHC
abstract: A bstractFollowing previous works regarding electroweak precision tests in supersymmetry, we continue to explore their implications to the MSSM and NMSSM both of which are tightly constrained by the Higgs mass and its decay experiments at the LHC. We adopt universal squark, slepton mass of three generations, and A-term of all SM fermions. We determine the flows of both MSSM and NMSSM in the S-T plane with increasing tan β and/or γγ rate. Either increasing the value of Rγ or tan β, we find that the benchmark points tend to be pushed outside the contour at 99% CL in the MSSM, however, conversely they tend to shrink towards to the SM reference point in the NMSSM. In particular, our benchmark points suggest that tan β ≳ 50 is excluded at 99% CL by EWPTs for the MSSM in regions of parameter space which predict Rγ ≳ 1.3 due to this behavior. This behavior is also useful to distinguish the NMSSM from the MSSM. A byproduct is that the contributions coming from the neutralinos and charginos should be more suppressed in the MSSM in comparison with the NMSSM.

title: R-symmetric Gauge Mediation With Fayet-Iliopoulos Term
abstract: We have studied R-symmetrc gauge mediation models with Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. We give a concrete example of hidden sector with an U(1)H gauge theory and a Fayet-Iliopoulos term, which can induce distinctive soft terms in the visible sector, and help solving fine tuning problems in models of R-symmetric gauge mediation.

title: Mass Hierarchies with $m_{h}=125$ GeV from Natural SUSY
abstract: Our study starts with a sequence of puzzles that include $(a)$ at which level $\mu$ problem involving electroweak symmetry breaking can be solved; $(b)$ in which paradigm masses of superpartners in the third family can be lighter than in the first two families; $(c)$ whether it is possible to accommodate 125 GeV Higgs boson simultaneously; and $(d)$ how natural such paradigm is. These issues are considered in the context of two-site SUSY models. Both the MSSM and NMSSM as low-energy effective theory below the scale of two-site gauge symmetry breaking are investigated. We find that the fine tuning can be indeed reduced in comparison with ordinary MSSM with $m_{h}=125$ GeV. In general, the fine tuning parameter $\Delta$ is in the range of $20-400$.

title: A note on bounds of scalar operators in perturbative SCFTs
abstract: Bounds on anomalous dimensions of scalar operators in 4D superconformal field theory are explored through perturbative viewpoint. Following the recent work of Green and Shih, in which a conjecture involved this issue is verified at the NLO, we consider the NNLO corrections to the bounds, which are important in some situations and can be divided into two cases where O ( λ 4 ) or O ( y 2 ) effects dominate respectively. In the former case, we find that the conjecture is maintained at NNLO, while in the later case the statement still holds due to null correction.

title: Calibration of BC501A liquid scintillator cells with monochromatic neutron beams
abstract: The recoil proton energy response has been measured by exposing cylindrical cells, filled with BC501A BICRON liquid scintillator, to mono-energetic neutron reference fields. We determine the required calibration parameters and report the detailed procedures for the experimental data handling. A dedicated Monte Carlo simulation of the detector response and efficiency has been performed. It showed good agreement with the measured quantities. The results from this calibration are necessary for a detailed study of the neutron spectrum at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory, with a neutron detector made of 32 liquid scintillator cells, like those used during the calibration.

title: The BES upgrade
abstract: The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) detector is a general purpose solenoid detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in Beijing, China, that has collected large numbers of J/ψ, ψ′, D s , D and τ events. In this paper, we describe the recent upgrade of the initial BES detector (BESI) to the improved BESII detector.
