Axino mass
I will talk on my recent works. Axino, related to the SUSY transformation of axion, can mix with Goldstino in principle. In this short talk, I would like to explain what is the axino mass and its plausible mass range. The axino mass is known to have a hierarchical mass structure depending on accidental symmetries. With only one axino, if GA = 0 where G = K + ln |W | , we obtain mã = m3/2. For GA 6= 0, the axino mass depends on the details of the Kähler potential. I also comment on the usefulness of a new parametrization of the CKM matrix.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Testing neutrino masses in the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model with LHC results
Within the R–parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), we use a hierarchical ansatz for the lepton–number violating trilinear Yukawa couplings by relating them to the corresponding Higgs–Yukawa couplings. This ansatz reduces the number of free parameters in the lepton–number violating sector from 36 to 6. Baryon–number violating terms are forbidden by imposing the discrete gauge symmetry Baryon Triality. We fit the lepton–number violating parameters to the most recent neutrino oscillation data, including the mixing angle θ13 found by Daya Bay. We find that we obtain phenomenologically viable neutrino masses and mixings only in the case of normal ordered neutrino masses and that the lepton–number violating sector is unambiguously determined by neutrino oscillation data. We discuss the resulting collider signals for the case of a neutralino as well as a scalar tau lightest supersymmetric particle. We use the ATLAS searches for multi–jet events and large transverse missing momentum in the 0, 1 and 2 lepton channel with 7 TeV center–of–mass energy in order to derive exclusion limits on the parameter space of this R–parity violating supersymmetric model.

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.

CP asymmetries in the supersymmetric trilepton signal at the LHC
In the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, we study the production of a neutralino–chargino pair at the LHC. For their decays into three leptons, we analyze CP asymmetries which are sensitive to the CP phases of the neutralino and chargino sector. We present analytical formulas for the entire production and decay process, and identify the CP-violating contributions in the spin correlation terms. This allows us to define the optimal CP asymmetries. We present a detailed numerical analysis of the cross sections, branching ratios, and the CP observables. For light neutralinos, charginos, and squarks, the asymmetries can reach several 10%. We estimate the discovery potential for the LHC to observe CP violation in the trilepton channel.

Light Stop Searches at the LHC in Events with two b-Jets and Missing Energy
We propose a new method to discover light top squarks (stops) in the co-annihilation region at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The bino-like neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and the lighter stop is the next-to-LSP. Such scenarios can be consistent with electroweak baryogenesis and also with dark matter constraints. We consider the production of two stops in association with two b-quarks, including pure QCD as well as mixed electroweak-QCD contributions. The stops decay into a charm quark and the LSP. For a higgsino-like light chargino, the electroweak contributions can exceed the pure QCD prediction. We show the size of the electroweak contributions as a function of the stop mass and present the LHC discovery reach in the stop-neutralino mass plane.
