Abstract
We describe a likelihood analysis using MasterCode of variants of the MSSM in which the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are assumed to have universal values at some scale Min below the supersymmetric grand unification scale MGUT, as can occur in mirage mediation and other models. In addition to Min, such ‘sub-GUT’ models have the 4 parameters of the CMSSM, namely a common gaugino mass m1 / 2, a common soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar mass m0, a common trilinear mixing parameter A and the ratio of MSSM Higgs vevs tan β, assuming that the Higgs mixing parameter μ> 0. We take into account constraints on strongly- and electroweakly-interacting sparticles from ∼ 36 /fb of LHC data at 13 ..
