The fine-tuning price of the early LHC

Abstract

LHC already probed and excluded half of the parameter space of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model allowed by previous experiments. Only about 0.7% of the CMSSM parameter space survives. This fraction rises to about 2% if the bound on the Higgs mass can be circumvented.
