Maximal Stop Mixing and 125 GeV Higgs from Hidden-Sector SCFTs

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract: First, I will outline the obstacles confronting models of maximal stop mixing for the Higgs at 125 GeV. The main such obstacle is something called the "A/mH^2 problem," and I will describe its analogy with the more well-known "mu/Bmu problem." Finally, I will discuss in detail one class of viable models which uses strong conformal dynamics in the hidden sector to overcome these obstacles.
