Gauge Mediation at LHC: status and prospects

Understand

We show that the predictivity of general gauge mediation (GGM) with TeV-scale stops is greatly increased once the Higgs mass constraint is imposed.

• The most notable results are a strong lower bound on the mass of the gluino and right-handed squarks, and an upper bound on the Higgsino mass.
• If the mu-parameter is positive, the wino mass is also bounded from above.
• These constraints relax significantly for high messenger scales and as such long-lived NLSPs are favored in GGM.
