Dark Matter, the Higgs and Natural SUSY

Speaker: David Shih

The natural MSSM is looking increasingly disfavored by the 125 GeV Higgs mass and dark matter direct detection. In this talk, I will present a simple, economical extension of the MSSM that generates the required Higgs mass and includes thermal WIMP dark matter consistent with all existing constraints, all while greatly reducing the fine-tuning. I will discuss prospects for future direct detection experiments and the LHC.
