Weak scale supersymmetry has a generic problem of fine-tuning in reproducing the correct scale for electroweak symmetry breaking. The problem is particularly severe in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM). We present a solution to this problem that does not require an extension of the MSSM at the weak scale. Superparticle masses are generated by a comparable mixture of moduli and anomaly mediated contributions, and the messenger scale of supersymmetry breaking is effectively lowered to the TeV region. Crucial elements for the solution are a large A term for the top squarks and a small B term for the Higgs doublets. Requiring no fine-tuning worse than 20%, we obtain rather sharp predictions on the spectrum. The gaugino masses are almost universal at the weak scale with the mass between 450 and 900 GeV. The squark and slepton masses are also nearly universal at the weak scale with the mass a factor of \sqrt{2} smaller than that of the gauginos. The only exception is the top squarks whose masses split from the other squark masses by about m_t/\sqrt{2}. The lightest Higgs boson mass is smaller than 120 GeV, while the ratio of the vacuum expectation values for the two Higgs doublets, tan\beta, is larger than about 5. The lightest superparticle is the neutral Higgsino of the mass below 190 GeV, which can be dark matter of the universe. The mass of the lighter top squark can be smaller than 300 GeV, which may be relevant for Run II at the Tevatron.

  1. Little hierarchies solve the little fine-tuning problem: a case study in supersymmetry with heavy guinos

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A heavy gluino can push the physical stop mass above LHC bounds while the underlying stop mass parameter stays near the electroweak scale, solving the little fine-tuning problem when higher-order corrections are resummed.

  2. Complementary Probes of Light Higgsinos: Electroweak Precision Measurements and Dark Matter Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Future electroweak precision measurements can probe light higgsinos up to 500 GeV even in compressed spectra below the neutrino fog, complementing direct detection which reaches the 1 TeV thermal relic mass.
