Testing SUSY

Understand

If SUSY provides a solution to the hierarchy problem then supersymmetric states should not be too heavy.

• This requirement is quantified by a fine tuning measure that provides a quantitative test of SUSY as a solution to the hierarchy problem.
• The measure is useful in correlating the impact of the various experimental measurements relevant to the search for supersymmetry and also in identifying the most sensitive measurements for testing SUSY.
• In this paper we apply the measure to the CMSSM, computing it to two-loop order and taking account of current experimental limits and the constraint on dark matter abundance.
