Abstract We utilize the recent LHC-13 TeV data to study the lower mass bound on the top-squark (stop) in natural supersymmetry. We recast the LHC sparticle inclusive search of (1)jets+ /
ET with T variable, the direct stop pair search (1-lepton channel and all-hadronic channel) and the monojet analyses. We nd that these searches are complementary depending on stop and higgsino masses: for a heavy stop the all-hadronic stop pair search provides the strongest bound, for an intermediate stop the inclusive SUSY analysis with T variable is most efcient, while for a compressed stophiggsino scenario the monojet search plays the key role. Finally, the lower mass bound on a stop is: (1) 320 GeV for compressed stophiggsino scenario (mass splitting less than20 GeV); (2) 765 (860) GeV for higgsinos lighter than 300 (100) GeV.
1 Introduction
The discovery of the Higgs boson is a great triumph for the Standard Model (SM). However, the SM Higgs mass is quadratically sensitive to the cutoff scale (usually taken as GUT or Planck scale) via radiative corrections because of the lack of symmetry protection. This renders the SM with mh 125 GeV rather unnatural. A well-known theory
for solving such a naturalness problem is supersymmetry.
Among various supersymmetric models, natural super-symmetry (NSUSY) is a well-motivated framework [13], which consists of a small set of sparticles that closely relate to

the naturalness, such as higgsinos, stop, and gluino. This can be understood by the minimization of the Higgs potential [4],

where is the higgsino mass parameter in the superpotential and contributes to MZ at tree level, tan vu/vd 1
is assumed in the last approximate equality, m2Hd and m2Hu
denote the soft SUSY breaking masses of the Higgs elds at weak scale, and u and d arise from the radiative corrections to the Higgs potential. Due to the large top Yukawa couplings, u is dominated by the stop at 1-loop level, while the gluino contributes to u via the corrections to the stop mass. Other contributions from the rst two generation squarks and sleptons to MZ are negligibly small. Therefore, the requirement of getting the correct value of MZ without ne-tuning will give upper bounds on the masses of higgsinos, stops, and gluino [5,6]. In the past few years, much work has been devoted to the searches for the stop at the LHC in NSUSY [722].
With the recent 15 fb1 dataset at the LHC run-2, the
stop and gluino masses are respectively excluded up to 1
TeV [23] and 1.8 TeV [24], while the electroweakinos below0.41 TeV can also be covered for different decay channels [25]. But these limits are obtained in the simplied models [2628] and sensitively depend on the assumptions of the nature of the lighest supersymmetric partner (LSP), the branching ratios of heavier sparticles and the mass splitting between heavier sparticles and the LSP. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the current LHC run-2 coverage of NSUSY and assess the ne-tuning extent. In this work, we utilize the recent results of the LHC run-2 inclusive sparticle searches and direct stop pair searches to constrain the stop mass in

NSUSY. We compare their sensitivities and nd that they are complementary in probing NSUSY. We will also evaluate the electroweak ne-tuning measure in the allowed parameter space of NSUSY and comment on the prospect for covering the low ne-tuning parameter space of NSUSY at HL-LHC.
2 Constraints on stop in NSUSY
In MSSM, the stop mass matrix in the weak-basis (tL, tR) is given by
M2t = [parenleftBigg]
m2tL mt Xt
mt Xt m2tR [parenrightBigg]
f CR = g2Vi1 cos t + yt Vi2 sin t, (13)
with yt = 2mt /(v sin ) and yb = 2mb/(v cos )
being the Yukawa couplings of top and bottom quarks. The mixing matrices of the neutralinos Ni j and charginos Ui j,
Vi j are dened in [29]. In NSUSY, M1,2 , one has
V11, U11, N11,12,21,22 0, V12 sgn(), U12 1 and
N13,14,23 = N24 1/2. So,
1 and
01,2 are higgsino-like and nearly degenerate.1 The left-handed stop will mainly decay to t
01,2 when the phase space is accessible and tan is small. The couplings of the right-handed stop with
01,2
and
with
m2tL = m2Q3L + m2t + m2Z [parenleftbigg]
1 are proportional to yt, and the branching ratios of
t1 t 01,2 and t1 b +1 are about 25 and 50%, respec
tively.
To address the lower mass limit of the stop in NSUSY, we can focus on a right-handed stop. This is because the left-handed stop is linked with the left-handed sbottom by the SU(2) symmetry. Then the left-handed sbottom decay channel b1 t

After diagonalizing the mass matrix, see Eq. (2), we can have the stop masses m

1 can mimics the left-handed stop signals
t1 t 01,2 since 01,2 and +1 are higgsino-like and degener
ate in NSUSY. This enhances the LHC limit on a left-handed stop, which is stronger than the limit on a right-handed stop [15,20].
Now we examine the constraints on the NSUSY scenario that consists of a right-handed stop and higgsinos. We scan the parameter space in the ranges
100 GeV 600 GeV,
100 GeV m Q3L,3R 2.5 TeV,1 TeV At 3 TeV, 5 tan 50. (14)
The lower limit on the higgsino mass is motivated by the LEP searches for electroweakinos. We require the stop mixing angle | sin t|2 > 0.5 to obtain a right-handed stop t1.
Since the gluino contributes to the naturalness measure in Eq. (15) at 2-loop level, a low ne-tuning allows the gluino with a mass up to several TeV, which is possibly beyond the reach of LHC. So we assume the gluino mass parameter to be M3 = 2 TeV in our scan. Since the electroweak gauginos,
heavy Higgs bosons, the sleptons, the rst two generations of squarks and the right-handed sbottom are not strongly related to the naturalness, we decouple their contributions by xing M1 = M2 = m A = m

In our scan, we impose the following indirect constraints:

boson be the SM-like Higgs boson with a mass in the

range of 1252 GeV, which is calculated by the package
FeynHiggs-2.11.2 [35,36].2
Vacuum stability We impose the constraint of metasta
bility of the vacuum state by requiring |At| [lessorsimilar] 2.67
M2Q3L + M2tR + M2A cos2 [38], because the large tri-linear parameter At can potentially lead to a global vacuum where charge and color are broken [3840].
Low-energy observables We require our samples to sat
isfy the bound of B Xs at 2 range, which is imple
mented by the package of SuperIso v3.3 [41,42].
Dark matter detection We require the thermal relic den
sity of the neutralino dark matter h2 to be below the 2 upper limit of 2015 Planck value [43]3 and the LUX WS2014-16 [47]. The results for the spin-independent neutralinoproton scattering cross section SIp is rescaled by a factor of h2/ P Lh2. We use the package of
MicrOmega v2.4 [48] to calculate h2 and SIp .
Besides, the LHC run-2 experiments have covered a wide parameter space of the MSSM. We list the relevant LHC experimental analyses for our scenario:
From ATLAS, Stop, 0 lepton + (b)jets + /
ET , 13.3 fb1 [49], Stop, 1 lepton + (b)jets + /

ET [23]
It should be mentioned that the higgsinos
1 and
02 have
the small mass difference with the LSP
01 in NSUSY. Then
the decay products of
1 and
02 are too soft to be tagged at the LHC. So, the stop decays can be categorized into two topologies: 2b+ /
ET . Among the current ATLAS searches for the stop, the all-hadronic nal state channel has a better sensitivity than those with leptons in the high stop mass region (m
t1 > 800 GeV) because of the application of boosted top technique. Similar results are obtained by the
CMS Collaboration. With the decrease of the mass splitting m
t1 01 , the sensitivity of the conventional stop searches
for the energetic top quark in the nal states become poor. In particular, if m
t1 01 mt, the stop decay will be dominated by the four-body channel t1 bf f
01 [59,60] or the two-body loop channel t1 c
01 [6165]. Then the decay products of the stop are usually very soft so that a high pT hard jet from the ISR/FSR is needed to tag these compressed stop events, such as the ATLAS monojet analysis listed above. Note that the very recent CMS monojet with the soft lepton pair analysis of the compressed electroweakinos can exclude the wino-like chargino mass m
1 up to 175 GeV for a mass difference of 7.5 GeV with respect to the LSP.
However, this limit is not applicable to our scenario because the cross section of the higgsino pair production is 1/4 of the wino pair. On the other hand, both ATLAS and CMS experiments have performed the inclusive SUSY searches for nal states with (generally untagged) jets and a large amount of /
ET , which can also be used to derive limits on the parameter space in various simplied models. In our study, we reinterpret the recent CMS analysis of 0lepton + ([greaterorequalslant]1)jets + /

2 The prediction of the SM-like Higgs mass depends on the spectrum generators. The differences arise from the choice of the renormalization scheme and the higher order correction calculations. These effects often lead to a few GeV uncertainty for the SM-like Higgs mass in the MSSM [37].
3 The thermal relic density of the light higgsino-like neutralino dark matter is typically low as a result of the large annihilation rate in the early Universe. One possible way to produce the correct relic density is introducing the mixed axionhiggsino dark matter [44,45]. However, if the naturalness requirement is relaxed, the heavy higgsino-like neutralino with a mass 12 TeV can solely produce the correct relic
density in the MSSM [46].
This strategy is built around the use of the kinematic variable T , which is constructed from jet-based quantities to provide strong discriminating power between sources of genuine and misreconstructed
pmissT. Such a variable can highly suppress multijet background, and is suitable for early searches at 13
TeV LHC. Based on the above considerations, we use four LHC experimental analyses to constrain the parameter space of NSUSY, which are listed in Table 1.
In our Monte Carlo simulations, we use MadGraph5_a MC@NLO [66] to generate the parton level signal events, which are showered and hadronized by the package PYTHIA [67]. The detector simulation effects are implemented with the package Delphes [68]. The jets are clustered with the anti-kt algorithm [69] by the package FastJet [70].

represent the samples that have the electroweak ne-tuning 4 < EW < 10, 10 < EW < 30 and 30 < EW < 300, respectively. In our parameter space, the low ne-tuning 4 < EW < 10 requires the higgsino mass [lessorsimilar] 200 GeV and the stop mass 0.4 TeV [lessorsimilar] mt1 [lessorsimilar] 1.3 TeV. It can be seen that 70%
of such a parameter space can be covered by the current LHC Run-2 SUSY searches. A lighter stop mass (m
t1 [lessorsimilar] 0.4 TeV) requires a large trilinear parameter At to satisfy the Higgs mass constraint, which leads to a large value of EW.
Besides, from Fig. 1 it can be seen that the ATLAS monojet search produces a strong exclusion limit in the low stop mass region, which excludes the stop mass up to 320 GeV for m
01 = 300 GeV. This is because when the stop mass is
close to the LSP mass, the b-jets from the stop decay t1
b
+1/bf f
01,2 or c-jets from t1 c
01,2 are too soft to be identied. Then the monojet search is very sensitive in the low stop region.
In the moderate or heavy stop region, the stop dominantly decays to b
+1 and t
01,2, which produce 2b + EmissT and
t t+EmissT signatures, respectively. The CMS inclusive search
with T shows a better sensitivity than the 0/1-lepton stop searches in most of parameter space. But we also note that the exclusion limit of the CMS 0-lepton stop search is slightly stronger than the CMS inclusive search because of the application of top tagging technique in ATLAS analysis. Finally, we conclude that the stop mass can be excluded up to 765 (850) GeV for m
01 < 300 (m 01 = 100) GeV by the cur
rent LHC Run-2 experiments. Such limits are much stronger than the LHC run-1 limits on NSUSY, which excluded a stop below 600 GeV [15,16,18,20].
It should be mention that when the stop and LSP mass splitting m
t1 01 mt, the kinematics of the top quarks
from stop decay are similar to those in the top pair production so that the above LHC searches for stop pair have the poor sensitivity. With the help of an additional high momentum jet recoiling against stop pair system, one can utilize the observable RM /

LHC are calculated by NLL-fast package [7175] with the CTEQ6.6M PDFs [76]. We impose the ATLAS monojet constraint with MadAnalysis 5-1.1.12 [7779]. The ATLAS 1-lepton stop and the CMS 0-lepton stop analyses are implemented within the CheckMATE framework [80,81]. But as mentioned above, we only focus on the heavy stop mass range (m
t1 > 500 GeV) for the CMS 0-lepton analyses because of the improved sensitivity by application of the top tagging technique. Besides, the higgsinos
1 and
01,2 are nearly degenerate in NSUSY. The stop decay t b
+1 gives the same topology as the sbottom decay b b
01. So we can determine the exclusion limit on the stop by using the cross section upper limit of the sbottom pair production reported from the CMS inclusive search with T .
In Fig. 1, we project the samples allowed by the Higgs mass, vacuum stability, B Xs and dark matter detections
on the plane of m
t1 versus m 01 . To quantitatively evaluate
the naturalness, we use the electroweak ne-tuning measure EW4 [82]; we have
EW maxi|Ci|/(M2Z/2), (15) where C = 2, CHu = m2Hu tan2 /(tan2 1), CHd =
m2Hd /(tan2 1), C u(i) = u(i)(tan2 )/(tan 1), and
C d(i) = d(i)/(tan 1) with i labeling the various loop
contributions by u and d. The one-loop stop contributions u(t1,2) are given by [83].

[84]. Besides, the VBF production of the stop pair was also proposed to detect such a compressed stop region, which can cover the stop mass to about 300 GeV because of the

large systematical uncertainty [85]. In NSUSY, when both decay channels t1 t
01 and t1 b
+1 are allowed, search for the asymmetric nal states t( t
01)t( b
1) can
provide a complementary way to probing stop at the LHC. With the variable topness to suppress t t background, such
an asymmetric stop search has a comparable sensitivity with the symmetric stop searches at the HL-LHC [86]. Therefore, together with conventional LHC search strategies, we can expect that the future high luminosity LHC is able to probe the stop and higgsino mass up to 1.5 and 0.6 TeV, respectively [87]. At that time, most of the NSUSY parameter space with EW < 30 can be covered [87,88].
3 Conclusions
In this paper, we examined the lower mass limit of the stop in natural supersymmetry (NSUSY) by using the recent LHC-13 TeV data. We recast the LHC SUSY inclusive search for (1)jets + /
ET events with T variable, the direct stop pair searches (1-lepton channel and all-hadronic channel) and the monojet analyses. We found that the inclusive SUSY analysis with T is complementary to the direct stop pair analyses in probing NSUSY. The current LHC data can exclude the stop up to 765 (860) GeV for m
01 < 300 (m 01 = 100) GeV.
While in the compressed region ( m
t1 01 20 GeV), the
stop mass can be still light as 320 GeV. About 70% of the NSUSY parameter space with EW < 10 can be covered by the current LHC Run-2 data. The future HL-LHC is expected to push the lower mass limits of the stop and higgsino up to 1.5 and 0.6 TeV, respectively, and cover most NSUSY parameter space with EW < 30.

Abstract
(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae and/or non-USASCII text omitted; see image)
We utilize the recent LHC-13 TeV data to study the lower mass bound on the top-squark (stop) in natural supersymmetry. We recast the LHC sparticle inclusive search of [InlineEquation not available: see fulltext.]1)[InlineEquation not available: see fulltext.] with ...... variable, the direct stop pair search (1-lepton channel and all-hadronic channel) and the monojet analyses. We find that these searches are complementary depending on stop and higgsino masses: for a heavy stop the all-hadronic stop pair search provides the strongest bound, for an intermediate stop the inclusive SUSY analysis with ...... variable is most efficient, while for a compressed stop-higgsino scenario the monojet search plays the key role. Finally, the lower mass bound on a stop is: (1) 320 GeV for compressed stop-higgsino scenario (mass splitting less than 20 GeV); (2) 765 (860) GeV for higgsinos lighter than 300 (100) GeV.
