    Sneutrino Dark Matter: Symmetry Protection and Cosmic Ray Anomalies
    (American Physical Society, 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Everett, Lisa L.; Frank, Mariana; Selbuz, Levent; Turan, İsmail
    We present an R-parity conserving model of sneutrino dark matter within a Higgsphilic U(1)′ extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In this theory, the μ parameter and light Dirac neutrino masses are generated naturally upon the breaking of the U(1)′ gauge symmetry. One of the right-handed sneutrinos is the lightest supersymmetric particle. The leptonic and hadronic decays of another sneutrino, taken to be the next-to-lightest superpartner, allow for a natural fit to the recent results reported by the PAMELA experiment. We perform a detailed calculation of the dark matter relic density in this scenario, and show that the model is consistent with the ATIC and Fermi LAT experiments. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

    Doubly Charged Higgsinos at the Tevatron
    (American Physical Society, 2009) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Ghosh, Dilip Kumar; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmail
    Several supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures, motivated by either grand unification or by neutrino mass generation, predict light doubly charged Higgsinos. In this work we study the signals of doubly charged Higgsinos at the Tevatron in both pair- and single-production modes, and show that it is possible, especially from the events containing same-sign same-flavor isolated leptons, to disentangle the effects of doubly charged Higgsinos in the Tevatron data.

    Search for Gauge Extensions of the Mssm at the Lhc
    (American Physical Society, 2009) Ahmed, Ali; Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Turan, İsmail
    The extensions of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), driving mainly from the need to solve the μ problem, involve novel matter species and gauge groups. These extended MSSM models can be searched for at the LHC via the effects of the gauge and Higgs bosons or their fermionic partners. Traditionally, the focus has been on the study of the extra forces induced by the new gauge and Higgs bosons present in such models. An alternative way of studying such effects is through the superpartners of matter species and the gauge forces. We thus consider a U(1)′ gauge extension of the MSSM, and perform an extensive study of the signatures of the model through the production and decays of the scalar quarks and gluino, which are expected to be produced copiously at the LHC. After a detailed study of the distinctive features of such models with regard to the signatures at the LHC, we carry out a detailed Monte-Carlo analysis of the signals from the process pp→nleptons+mjets+E T, and compare the resulting distributions with those predicted by the MSSM. Our results show that the searches for the extra gauge interactions in the supersymmetric framework can proceed not only through the forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs bosons but also through the superpartner forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs fermions. Analysis of the events induced by the squark/gluino decays presented here is complementary to the direct Z′ searches at the LHC.

    Doubly Charged Higgsinos at Lhc
    (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmail
    We review single and pair production and subsequent decay of doubly charged Higgsinos of the left-right supersymmetric model at the LHC. The novel signature is possible to separate from the MSSM and UED signal.

    Several supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures predict light doubly-charged Higgsinos. Their distinctive signature at the large hadron collider is highlighted by studying its production and decay characteristics.

    Signals of Doubly-Charged Higgsinos at the Cern Large Hadron Collider
    (American Physical Society, 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmail
    Several supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures, motivated by either grand unification or by neutrino mass generation, predict light doubly-charged Higgsinos. In this work we study productions and decays of doubly-charged Higgsinos present in left-right supersymmetric models, and show that they invariably lead to novel collider signals not found in the minimal supersymmetric model or in any of its extensions motivated by the μ problem or even in extra dimensional theories. We investigate their distinctive signatures at the Large Hadron Collider in both pair- and single-production modes, and show that they are powerful tools in determining the underlying model via the measurements at the Large Hadron Collider experiments. © 2008 The American Physical Society

    Neutralino Dark Matter in the Left-Right Supersymmetric Model
    (American Physical Society, 2006) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Turan, İsmail
    We study the neutralino sector of the left-right supersymmetric model. In addition to the possibilities available in the minimal supersymmetric model, the neutralino states can be superpartners of the U(1)B-L gauge boson, the neutral SU(2)R gauge boson, or of the Higgs triplets. We analyze neutralino masses and determine the parameter regions for which the lightest neutralino can be one of the new pure states. We then calculate the relic density of the dark matter for each of these states and impose the constraints coming from the ρ parameter, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, b→sγ, as well as general supersymmetric mass bounds. The lightest neutralino can be the bino, or the right-wino, or the neutral triplet Higgsino, all of which have different couplings to the standard model particles from the usual neutralinos. A light bino satisfies all the experimental constraints and would be the preferred dark matter candidate for light supersymmetric scalar masses, while the right-wino would be favored by intermediate supersymmetric mass scales. The neutral triplet Higgs fermion satisfies the experimental bounds only in a small region of the parameter space, for intermediate to heavy supersymmetric scalar masses.
