Abstract:
Supersymmetric twin Higgs models have a discrete symmetry for which each standard model particle and its supersymmetric partner have a corresponding state that transforms under a mirror standard model gauge group. This framework is able to accommodate the nondiscovery of new particles at the LHC with the naturalness of the electroweak scale. We point out that supersymmetric twin Higgs models also provide a natural dark matter candidate. We investigate the possibility that a twin binolike state is the lightest supersymmetric particle and find that its freeze-out abundance can explain the observed dark matter abundance without fine-tuning the mass spectrum of the theory. Most of the viable parameter space can be probed by future dark matter direct detection experiments, and the LHC searches for staus and Higgsinos which may involve displaced vertices.

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin
Atomic nuclei have a net nuclear spin, , which can have an integer or half-integer value. In atomic nuclei, the spins of protons are paired against each other but not with neutrons, and vice versa. Consequently, an even number of protons does not contribute to...
