TL;DR: In this paper, upper bounds on all superparticle masses as functions of the top quark mass are derived based on the "naturalness" criterion, which gives an objective criterion to test (or disprove) the idea of low energy supersymmetry, as implemented in supergravity models.

TL;DR: In this article, the up-type Higgs mass parameter has a focus point at the weak scale, where its value is highly insensitive to the universal scalar mass, and all squarks, sleptons and heavy Higgs scalars may be beyond the discovery reaches of the CERN Large Hadron Collider and proposed linear colliders.
Abstract: We analyze focus points in supersymmetric theories, where a parameter's renormalization group trajectories meet for a family of ultraviolet boundary conditions. We show that in a class of models including minimal supergravity, the up-type Higgs mass parameter has a focus point at the weak scale, where its value is highly insensitive to the universal scalar mass. As a result, scalar masses as large as 2 to 3 TeV are consistent with naturalness, and all squarks, sleptons and heavy Higgs scalars may be beyond the discovery reaches of the CERN Large Hadron Collider and proposed linear colliders. Gaugino and Higgsino masses are, however, still constrained to be near the weak scale. The focus point behavior is remarkably robust, holding for both moderate and large $\mathrm{tan}\ensuremath{\beta},$ any weak scale gaugino masses and A parameters, variations in the top quark mass within experimental bounds, and for large variations in the boundary condition scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the dark-matter prediction is not a natural consequence of low-energy supersymmetry, but it requires special relations among parameters, highly sensitive to small variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the possibility of a SM-like Higgs in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), with a mass of about 125 GeV and with a production times decay rate into two photons which is similar or somewhat larger than the SM one.
Abstract: We consider the possibility of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), with a mass of about 125 GeV and with a production times decay rate into two photons which is similar or somewhat larger than the SM one. The relatively large value of the SM-like Higgs mass demands stops in the several hundred GeV mass range with somewhat large mixing, or a large hierarchy between the two stop masses in the case that one of the two stops is light. We find that, in general, if the heaviest stop mass is smaller than a few TeV, the rate of gluon fusion production of Higgs bosons decaying into two photons tends to be somewhat suppressed with respect to the SM one in this region of parameters. However, we show that an enhancement of the photon decay rate may be obtained for light third generation sleptons with large mixing, which can be naturally obtained for large values of $\tan\beta$ and sizable values of the Higgsino mass parameter.
