Abstract
We reevaluate prospects for supersymmetry (SUSY) at the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) in light of the first two years of serious data taking at LHC: LHC7 with of collisions at and LHC8 with at . Strong new limits from LHC8 SUSY searches, along with the discovery of a Higgs boson with , 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 , a focus point case from mSUGRA/CMSSM, nonuniversal gaugino mass model, 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 -even state . While all these models at present elude the latest LHC8 limits, they do offer intriguing case study possibilities for ILC operating at . 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.
