A Higgs mass shift to 125 GeV and a multi-jet supersymmetry signal: Miracle of the flippons at the √s=7 TeV LHC

We describe a model named No-Scale F-SU(5) which is simultaneously capable of explaining the dual signals emerging at the LHC of (i) a 124-126 GeV Higgs boson mass m(h), and (ii) tantalizing low-statistics excesses in the multi-jet data which may attributable to supersymmetry. These targets tend to be mutually exclusive in more conventional approaches. The unified mechanism responsible for both effects is the introduction of a rather unique set of vector-like multiplets at the TeV scale, dubbed flippons, which (i) can elevate m(h) by around 3-4 GeV via radiative loop corrections, and (ii) flatten the running of the strong coupling and color-charged gaugino, resulting in a prominent collider signal from production of light gluino pairs. This well-motivated theoretical framework maintains consistency with all key phenomenological constraints, and all residual parameterization freedom may in principle be fixed by a combination of the two experiments described. We project that the already collected luminosity of 5 fb(-1) may be sufficient to definitively establish the status of this model, given appropriate data selection cuts. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
