Abstract:

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a promising candidate beyond the standard
model. In this talk, we first review the present status of SUSY at the
LHC. The observed Higgs mass forces us to accept fine-tuning or extend
the Higgs sector of the minimal model. We here pursue the latter
possibility and lift the Higgs mass by partial compositeness where the
Higgs fields couple to new vectorlike fields charged under a new
strong gauge group. We classify partially composite Higgs models in
terms of the size of the dynamical scale. Our main focus in this talk
is the region with a relatively small dynamical scale which leads to a
Hidden Valley-like phenomenology. The Hidden Valley sector is almost
supersymmetric and ordinary sparticles decay to exotic new states
which decay back to standard model particles and gravitinos with
reduced missing energy. We construct a simplified model to simulate
this scenario and find a viable parameter space which ameliorates both
the SUSY Higgs mass problem and the missing superpartner problem. In
addition, we briefly discuss the region with a large dynamical scale,
the lambda SUSY regime. Finally, the region where the dynamical scale
is at the electroweak scale is commented. In this case, the reported
diphoton excess at 750 GeV may be naturally explained.
