Positively deflected anomaly mediation in the light of the Higgs boson
  discovery
  Anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) is a well-known mechanism for
flavor-blind transmission of supersymmetry breaking from the hidden sector to
the visible sector. However, the pure AMSB scenario suffers from a serious
drawback, namely, the tachyonic slepton problem, and needs to be extended. The
so-called (positively) deflected AMSB is a simple extension to solve the
problem and also provides us with the usual neutralino lightest superpartner as
a good candidate for dark matter in the Universe. Motivated by the recent
discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, we
perform the parameter scan in the deflected AMSB scenario by taking into
account a variety of phenomenological constraints such as the dark matter relic
density and the observed Higgs boson mass around 125-126 GeV. We identify the
allowed parameter region and list benchmark mass spectra. We find that in most
of the allowed parameter regions, the dark matter neutralino is Higgsino-like
and its elastic scattering cross section with nuclei is within the future reach
of the direct dark matter search experiments, while (colored) sparticles are
quite heavy and their discovery at the LHC is challenging.
