Abstract

We reevaluate prospects for supersymmetry (SUSY) at the proposed International Linear e+e Collider (ILC) in light of the first two years of serious data taking at LHC: LHC7 with 5fb1 of pp collisions at s=7TeV and LHC8 with 20fb1 at s=8TeV. Strong new limits from LHC8 SUSY searches, along with the discovery of a Higgs boson with mh125GeV, suggest a paradigm shift from previously popular models to ones with new and compelling signatures. After a review of the current status of supersymmetry, we present a variety of new ILC benchmark models, including natural SUSY, radiatively driven natural SUSY, NUHM2 with low mA, a focus point case from mSUGRA/CMSSM, nonuniversal gaugino mass model, τ˜ coannihilation, Kallosh-Linde/spread SUSY model, mixed gauge-gravity mediation, normal scalar mass hierarchy, and one example with the recently discovered Higgs boson being the heavy CP-even state H. While all these models at present elude the latest LHC8 limits, they do offer intriguing case study possibilities for ILC operating at s0.251TeV. The benchmark points also present a view of the widely diverse SUSY phenomena which might still be expected in the post-LHC8 era at both LHC and ILC.
