New Phenomenological Constraints on the Gaugino Mediation Model

Abstract

In this thesis, phenomenological consequences of the Gaugino Mediation model for SUSY breaking are explored. First, the very important trilinear coupling is proven to exist in Gaugino Mediation. Then, the parameter space is investigated in the cMSSM framework using the SUSY spectrum generator and running parameter calculator SPheno. The dependence of the lightest Higgs mass and the LSP on the cMSSM input parameters is explored, and the emerging patterns are discussed in light of analytical equations. Finally, the the parameter space is constrained using recent experimental results. The first constraint is the lightest Higgs mass, required to be within three GeV of 126.7 GeV. Points fulfilling this constraint are then checked for flavor violating observables by hand, and checked against the run 1 8 TeV LHC collider results using SmodelS.
