Abstract
We present a frequentist analysis of the parameter space of the pMSSM10, in which the following ten soft SUSY-breaking parameters are specified independently at the mean scalar top mass scale (Formula presented.), the first-and second-generation squark masses (Formula presented.) the third-generation squark mass (Formula presented.), a common slepton mass (Formula presented.) and a common trilinear mixing parameter A, as well as the Higgs mixing parameter μ, the pseudoscalar Higgs mass MA and tan β, the ratio of the two Higgs vacuum expectation values. We use the MultiNest sampling algorithm with ∼1.2 ×109 points to sample the pMSSM10 parameter space. A dedicated study shows that the sensiti..
