pMSSM Benchmark Models for Snowmass 2013

Understand

We present several benchmark points in the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM).

• We select these models as experimentally well-motivated examples of the MSSM which predict the observed Higgs mass and dark matter relic density while evading the current LHC searches.
• We also use benchmarks to generate spokes in parameter space by scaling the mass parameters in a manner which keeps the Higgs mass and relic density approximately constant.
