Summary: This work investigates the self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) scenario in the general NMSSM and beyond, proposing an improved analytical expression for the self-interacting cross section of dark matter. By Monte Carlo simulation, the multiplicities and spectra of dark matter/mediator from Higgsino production and decay at the LHC are analyzed.

Summary: Models where the Higgs boson is a composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson provide attractive solutions to the Higgs mass naturalness problem. By examining three such models based on the minimal SO(5) -> SO(4) symmetry breaking pattern, it is found that each model can satisfy all constraints simultaneously and analysis of the collider phenomenology in viable regions reveals interesting results.

Summary: The SUSY model discusses the introduction of only electrically neutral states, doubling the number of states in the neutralino sector. It presents a rich phenomenology depending on dark matter composition. Collider experiments could test the lower bound on stop and gluino masses, while direct detection experiments will be able to test various dark matter solutions in the future.

Summary: We present our computation of two-loop corrections to the Higgs boson masses of the CP-violating Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). Our new corrections increase with rising lambda and kappa but remain overall below about 3% compared to our previously computed corrections, in the region compatible with perturbativity below the GUT scale. The impact of CP-violating phases in the new corrections is small, and we show how to efficiently treat the Goldstone Boson Catastrophe due to infrared divergences.

Summary: A recent Fermilab report showed a significant discrepancy between muon g-2 and the standard model prediction. The study suggests that in the general next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (GNMSSM), a singlino-dominated neutralino could explain this discrepancy and make the detection of sparticles at the LHC challenging.

Summary: The recent confirmation by Fermilab-based Muon g-2 experiment of the (g - 2)(mu) anomaly has implications for allowed particle spectra in supersymmetry models with dark matter. The study found that general patterns of dark matter could be accommodated in unified SUSY models, unlike in simpler frameworks. Accessing these solutions at the LHC may be challenging due to compressed spectra.

Summary: We study the decay of the lightest Higgs boson h -> MZ in the mu from nu supersymmetric standard model (mu nu SSM), where M is a vector meson (rho, omega, phi, J/Psi, Upsilon). The introduction of three right-handed neutrino superfields in mu nu SSM leads to the mixing of the Higgs doublets with the right-handed sneutrinos, which affects the mass and couplings of the lightest Higgs boson. In certain parameter space, the mu nu SSM can provide significant new physics contributions to the signal strengths of h -> MZ and h -> gamma gamma, which may be observable in high-energy colliders such as a 100TeV collider or other future ones.

Summary: This study investigates the potential for measuring neutrino Yukawa couplings in the NMSSMr model, where the lightest right-handed sneutrino serves as the Dark Matter candidate, and can be produced at next generation e(+)e(-) colliders. The results highlight the purity of the signal from chargino pair production and subsequent decay, providing the opportunity to extract Yukawa parameters in the sneutrino sector.

Summary: The new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of muon at the Fermilab Muon g - 2 experiment has highlighted the discrepancy between the standard model prediction and the experimental observation from the BNL measurement. If the new physics responsible for the muon g - 2 anomaly is supersymmetric, obtaining light electroweakinos and sleptons in a systematic way becomes important. The KKLT scenario, with mixed modulus-anomaly mediation, is found capable of explaining the muon g - 2 anomaly in certain parameter regions.

Summary: This study analyzes the appearance of the trilinear squark-Higgs couplings x(q) in the Higgs sector of MSSM and in threshold corrections to the SM, providing constraints on the maximal powers of x(q) in QCD-related loop corrections. It often implies all-order resummations of leading or subleading x(q) contributions in SM-parametrized expressions. Various all-order resummation relations for Delta lambda increment involving x(q)-enhanced terms and different orders in Yukawa and gauge couplings are presented, contrasting elements that cannot be resummed.

Summary: The ThickBrick prescription is used to train machine-learning-based event selectors and categorizers in high energy physics experiments to maximize the statistical significance of signal excess. It eliminates misalignments with physics goals, prevents background distribution from becoming peaked in signal region, and applies optimal selection cutoffs based on event variables. The public Python implementation of ThickBrick includes usage examples for researchers.

Summary: Investigation of a class of neutral naturalness models reveals the Higgs boson as a pseudo-Goldstone boson, with various dimension-six operators obtained by integrating out the radial mode. Chi (2) fit to precision measurements of Higgs couplings suggests a new physics scale could be explored up to 2.3 (2.4) TeV at future colliders, with limits comparable to indirect constraints from electroweak precision measurements.

Summary: The recently suggested Festina-Lente (FL) bound provides a lower bound on the masses of U(1) charged particles in terms of the positive vacuum energy. The FL bound serves as a test for the consistent Higgs potential in the current dark energy-dominated universe and during inflation. The study reveals the implications of the FL bound on the UV behavior of the Higgs potential for a miniscule vacuum energy in the current universe.

Summary: We studied the brane/flux annihilation in the double-throat system and found that by placing branes at one of the throat tips, the difference between the two throats can be reduced through a transition to the supersymmetric vacuum. We also compared our findings with the thraxion scenario, which also involves differences in the NSNS 3-form flux distributions in the two throat regions.

Summary: In hybrid natural inflation, a hidden strong dynamics can naturally generate a coupling that leads to a waterfall phase transition. This phenomenologically successful inflation is driven by an axion field with a sub-Planckian decay constant. Additionally, it is proposed that the phase component of the waterfall field can be identified as the QCD axion that solves the strong CP problem via the Peccei-Quinn mechanism. In this case, a relationship is established between the Hubble scale during inflation and the properties of the inflaton, if the QCD axion is to account for the dark matter of the universe.

Summary: The Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson (CKN) bound formulates the condition that black holes are not produced by the dynamics of low energy effective field theory. In de Sitter space, it also constrains the maximum size of matter distribution to be smaller than the cosmological horizon determined by black holes. On the other hand, the swampland distance conjecture (SDC) predicts that de Sitter space becomes unstable due to the descent of low energy degrees of freedom from UV. This leads to a rapid increase in the energy inside the cosmological horizon, which can be constrained by the CKN bound.

Summary: In Type IIB flux compactifications consistent with the KKLT scenario, the condition for dilaton stabilization was studied. The dilaton mass squared, depending linearly on the dilaton, is determined by a sum of the gravitino mass squared and additional terms related to the complex structure moduli stabilization. It was found that when the dilaton mass is not significantly larger than the gravitino mass, the potential becomes unstable due to mass mixing with the Kahler modulus and saddle point generation at supersymmetric field values.
