Notes

  1. 1.

    Assuming no branching fraction for Higgs decays to exotic particles.

  2. 2.

    This is usually the name of the hypothetical theory that would unify gravity and the other three forces.

  3. 3.

    Gauginos are combinations of the SUSY electroweak and Higgs fermionic fields.

  4. 4.

    The squark and the gluino are the superpartner of the squark and gluon, respectively.
