Improved predictions for intermediate and heavy Supersymmetry in the MSSM and beyond

Understand

For a long time, the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with light masses for the supersymmetric states was considered as the most natural extension of the Standard Model of particle physics.

• Consequently, a valid approximation was to match the MSSM to the precision measurement directly at the electroweak scale.
• This approach was also utilized by all dedicated spectrum generators for the MSSM.
• However, the higher the supersymmetric (SUSY) scale is, the bigger the uncertainties which are introduced by this matching.
