GUT-inspired MSSM in light of muon g−2 and LHC results at s=13 TeV

The recent results of the LHC search for electroweak production of supersymmetric (SUSY) particles at $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ have shown improved lower limits for their masses. In addition, the projected experiment E989 will be able to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment precisely so that the experimental uncertainty can be reduced by a factor of four. It was pointed out that if the center value of the muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$ remains unchanged the deviation between the standard model (SM) prediction and the experimental value will be as large as $7.0\ensuremath{\sigma}$. Such a large deviation will be solid evidence for new physics beyond the SM. Motivated by these results, we investigate the minimal SUSY extension of the SM with universal gaugino masses at the grand unified scale in the light of the muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$ and the updated LHC constraints. The squarks are assumed to be heavy and decoupled from physics at low energy scales to resemble the SM-like Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV and other bounds for squark masses at the LHC. We have pinned down allowed windows for the lightest neutralino and the smuon masses as well as other input parameters relevant to the light SUSY sector. The expected results of the E989 experiment play a crucial role in narrowing these windows. The viability of the model for small mass regions can be tested at the LHC Run 3 and the High Luminosity LHC in the near future.
