    Measuring the top quark mass with m_T2 at the LHC

    by Won Sang Cho, Kiwoon Choi, Yeong Gyun Kim, Chan Beom Park

    We investigate the possibility to measure the top quark mass using the collider variable $m_{T2}$ at the LHC experiment. Monte Carlo studies of $m_{T2}$ are performed with the events corresponding to the dilepton decays of $t\bar{t}$ produced at the LHC with 10 $fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. Our analysis suggests that the top quark mass can be determined by the $m_{T2}$ variable alone with a good precision at the level of 1 GeV.

    TeV scale partial mirage unification and neutralino dark matter

    by Hiroyuki Abe, Yeong Gyun Kim, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Yasuhiro Shimizu

    We study the TeV scale partial mirage unification scenario, where the gluino and wino masses are degenerate around a TeV scale, but the bino mass is not degenerate. This scenario has phenomenologically interesting aspects. First, because of the degeneracy between the gluino and wino masses, this scenario does not have the little hierarchy problem, that is, the higgisino mass is around 150 GeV. The lightest superparticle is a mixture of the bino and higgsino, and can lead to a right amount of thermal relic density as a dark matter candidate.

  • Minimal model of fermionic dark matter

    by Yeong Gyun Kim, Kang Young Lee

    We explore a minimal extension of the standard model with fermionic cold dark matter by introducing a gauge singlet Dirac fermion. The interactions between the dark matter and the standard model matters are described by the nonrenormalizable dimension-5 term. We show that the measured relic abundance of the cold dark matter can be explained in our model and predict the direct detection cross section. The direct search of the dark matter provides severe constraints on the mass and coupling of the minimal fermionic dark matter with respect to the Higgs boson mass.


  • Neutralino dark matter in mirage mediation

    by Kiwoon Choi, Kang Young Lee, Yasuhiro Shimizu, Yeong Gyun Kim, Ken-Ichi Okumura

    We study the phenomenology of neutralino dark matter (DM) in a mirage mediation scenario of supersymmetry breaking which results from the moduli stabilization in some string/brane models. Depending upon the model parameters, especially the anomaly to modulus mediation ratio determined by the moduli stabilization mechanism, the nature of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) changes from bino-like neutralino to Higgsino-like neutralino via a bino–Higgsino mixing region. For the bino-like LSP, the standard thermal production mechanism can give the right amount of relic DM density through the stop/stau–neutralino coannihilation or the pseudoscalar Higgs resonance process. We also examine the prospect of direct and indirect DM detection in various parameter regions of mirage mediation. Neutralino DM in the galactic halo might be detected by near future direct detection experiments in the case of the bino–Higgsino mixed LSP. The gamma ray flux from the galactic centre might be detectable also if the DM density profile takes a cuspy shape.

    Neutralino Dark Matter in Mirage Mediation

    by K. Choi, Y. G. Kim, K. Y. Lee, K. Okumura, Y. Shimizu

    We study the phenomenology of neutralino dark matter (DM) in mirage mediation scenario of supersymmetry breaking which results from the moduli stabilization in some string/brane models. Depending upon the model parameters, especially the anomaly to modulus mediation ratio determined by the moduli stabilization mechanism, the nature of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) changes from Bino-like neutralino to Higgsino-like one via Bino-Higgsino mixing region. For the Bino-like LSP, the standard thermal production mechanism can give a right amount of relic DM density through the stop/stau-neutralino coannihilation or the pseudo-scalar Higgs resonance process. We also examine the prospect of direct and indirect DM detection in various parameter regions of mirage mediation. Neutralino DM in galactic halo might be detected by near future direct detection experiments in the case of Bino-Higgsino mixed LSP. The gamma ray flux from Galactic Center might be detectable also if the DM density profile takes a cuspy shape.

    Heavy Higgs Resonances for the Neutralino Relic Density in the Higgs Decoupling Limit of the CP--noninvariant Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

    by S. Y. Choi, Y. G. Kim

    The lightest neutralino is a compelling candidate to account for cold dark matter in the universe in supersymmetric theories with $R$--parity. In the CP-invariant theory, the neutralino relic density can be found in accord with recent WMAP data if neutralino annihilation in the early universe occurs via the s-channel $A$ funnel. In contrast, in the CP-noninvariant theory two heavy neutral Higgs bosons can contribute to the Higgs funnel mechanism significantly due to a CP-violating {\it complex} mixing between two heavy states, in particular, when they are almost degenerate. With a simple analytic and numerical analysis, we demonstrate that the CP-violating Higgs mixing can modify the profile of the neutralino relic density {\it considerably} in the heavy Higgs funnel with the neutralino mass close to half of the heavy Higgs masses.

  • Constraints onR-parity violating couplings fromB±→l±νdecays

    by Seungwon Baek, Yeong Gyun Kim

    We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from B±→l±ν decays. These modes of B-meson decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or more heavy generation indices which are comparable to or stronger than the present bounds. And we investigate the possible effects of R-parity violating interactions on Bc→lν decays. These decay modes can be largely affected by R-parity violation.

    Constraints on the R-parity Violating Couplings from $B^\pm \to l^\pm ν$ Decays

    by Seungwon Baek, Yeong Gyun Kim

    We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from $B^\pm \to l^\pm \nu$ decays. These modes of B-meson decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or more heavy generation indices which are comparable with or stronger than the present bounds. And we investigate the possible effects of R-parity violating interactions on $B_c \to l \nu$ decays. These decay modes can be largely affected by R-parity violation.
