Decaying dark matter with heavy axino
Just one decaying dark matter chiral multiplet N is introduced at the TeV scale beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model. A heavy axino needed for the strong CP solution, decaying to N and minimal supersymmetric standard model particles, enables us to calculate its abundance in the scenario that the heavy axino, once dominating the energy density of the Universe, decays after the lightest supersymmetric particle decouples. Dimension 6 interactions arising from the mass scale of E{sup {+-}} allow the lifetime of the fermionic or the bosonic superpartner of N in the 10{sup 27} s range to be compatible with the recent astrophysical bounds. A diagrammatic strategy obtaining a suppression factor 1/M{sup 2} is also given.

GMSB at a stable vacuum and MSSM without exotics from heterotic string
Abstract We show that it is possible to introduce the confining hidden sector gauge group SU ( 5 ) ′ with the chiral matter 10 0 ′ plus 5 ¯ 0 ′ , which are neutral under the standard model gauge group, toward a gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) in a Z 12 − I orbifold compactification of E 8 × E 8 ′ heterotic string. Three families of MSSM result without exotics. We also find a desirable matter parity P (or R-parity) assignment. We note that this model contains the spectrum of the Lee–Weinberg model which has a nice solution of the μ problem.

Neutrino masses from discrete gauge symmetries
Abstract We investigate a model with an extra Z 2 gauge symmetry in the Standard Model. The symmetry gives a structure to the mass matrix for the neutrinos. With two extra Higgs singlets and two extra singlet right-handed neutrinos we can build a model that fits the requirements of the MSW solution of the Solar neutrino problem. With a third singlet right-handed neutrino it is also possible to have a 10 eV neutrino.

Effective Gauss-Bonnet interaction in Randall-Sundrum compactification
The effective gravitational interaction below the Planck scale in the Randall-Sundrum world is shown to be the Gauss-Bonnet term. In this theory we find that there exists another static solution with a positive bulk cosmological constant. Also, there exist solutions for a positive visible sector cosmological constant, which is needed for a later Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe.

SO(10)-like Superstring Standard Model with R-parity from the Heterotic String
We construct a supersymmetric standard model in the context of the Z_{12-I} orbifold compactification of the E_8 x E_8' heterotic string theory. The gauge group is SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y x U(1)^4 x [SO(10) x U(1)^3]' with sin^2\theta_W = 3/8. We obtain three families of SO(10) spinor-like chiral matter states, and Higgs doublets. All other extra states are exactly vector-like under the standard model gauge symmetry. There are numerous standard model singlets, many of which get VEVs such that only the standard model gauge symmetry survives and desired Yukawa couplings can be generated at lower energies. In particular, all vector-like exotic states achieve superheavy masses and the R-parity can be preserved.

Conflicts between B-violating phenomena in supergravity models
Abstract We show that there is an incompatibility between matter stability and cosmological baryon production in standard N = 1 supergravity models. This discrepancy emerges from the bound on the reheating temperature T rh ⩽ 10 10 GeV which comes from the restriction on the gravitino decay after inflation. Some weird possibilities to bypass the controversy are also analyzed.

Probing Minimal Flavor Violation with Long-Lived Stops and Light Gravitinos at Hadron Colliders
In the framework of minimal flavor violation (MFV), we discuss the decay properties of a supersymmetric scalar top (stop) in the presence of a light gravitino. Given a small mass difference between the lighter stop and lightest neutralino and an otherwise sufficiently decoupled spectrum, the stop may be long-lived and thus can provide support to MFV at hadron colliders. For a bino-like lightest neutralino, we apply bounds from searches in the gamma gamma plus missing transverse energy channel (ATLAS with 1 fb^-1 and D0 with 6.3 fb^-1) and give a 5 fb^-1 projection for the ATLAS search.

Neutrino masses and mixings in the baryon triality constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model
We discuss how the experimental neutrino oscillation data can be realized in the framework of the baryon triality ($B_3$) constrained supersymmetric Standard Model (cSSM). We show how to obtain phenomenologically viable solutions, which are compatible with the recent WMAP observations. We present results for the hierarchical, inverted and degenerate cases which illustrate the possible size and structure of the lepton number violating couplings. We work with a new, as yet unpublished version of SOFTSUSY, where we implemented full one--loop neutrino masses. Finally, we shortly discuss some phenomenological implications at the LHC.

Constraints on the $R$-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model with neutrino masses from multilepton studies at the LHC
In a recent paper, we proposed a hierarchical ansatz for the lepton-number-violating trilinear Yukawa couplings of the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model. As a result, the number of free parameters in the lepton-number-violating sector was reduced from 36 to 6. Neutrino oscillation data fixes these six parameters, which also uniquely determines the decay modes of the lightest supersymmetric particle and thus governs the collider signature at the LHC. A typical signature of our model consists of multiple leptons in the final state and significantly reduced missing transverse momentum compared to models with R-parity conservation. In this work, we present exclusion limits on our model based on multilepton searches performed at the Large Hadron Collider with 7 TeV center-of-mass energy in 2011 while accommodating a 125 GeV Higgs.

EUDG IMPLEMENTATION IN KOREA FOR HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS STUDY
Researchers in high energy physics (HEP) have had difficulties securing enough computing powers to store and process tons of data produced from accelerators. In addition, the fact that the researchers are distributed over the world compromises the efficiency of the high energy physics researches which are cooperative in nature. Grid, the so-called next generation Internet, is expected to overcome these difficulties. By integrating computing resources distributed over the world, Grid will allow increased accessibility to data, necessary computing powers, and storage space. In this paper, we describe the initial implementation experiences of HEP Data Grid in Korea using European Data Grid (EUDG) software developed by CERN.

The higgsino–singlino world at the large hadron collider
We consider light higgsinos and singlinos in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model at the large hadron collider. We assume that the singlino is the lightest supersymmetric particle and that the higgsino is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle with the remaining supersymmetric particles in the multi-TeV range. This scenario, which is motivated by the flavor and CP issues, provides a phenomenologically viable dark matter candidate and improved electroweak fit consistent with the measured Higgs mass. Here, the higgsinos decay into on (off)-shell gauge boson and the singlino. We consider the leptonic decay modes and the resulting signature is three isolated leptons and missing transverse energy which is known as the trilepton signal. We simulate the signal and the Standard Model backgrounds and present the exclusion region in the higgsino–singlino mass plane at the large hadron collider at $$\sqrt{s}=14$$s=14 TeV for an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$$^{-1}$$-1.
