Under the expectation that nature is natural, we extend the Standard Model to include SUSY to stabilize the electroweak sector and PQ symmetry to stabilize the QCD sector. Then natural SUSY arises from a Kim-Nilles solution to the SUSY mu problem which allows for a little hierarchy where mu ~ f_a^2/M_P ~ 100-300 GeV while the SUSY particle mass scale m(SUSY)~ 1-10 TeV >> mu. Dark matter then consists of two particles: a higgsino-like WIMP and a SUSY DFSZ axion. The range of allowed axion mass values m(axion) depends on the mixed axion-higgsino relic density. The range of m(axion) is actually restricted in this case by limits on WIMPs from direct and indirect detection experiments. We plot the expected axion detection rate at microwave cavity experiments. The axion-photon-photon coupling is severely diminished by charged higgsino contributions to the anomalous coupling. In this case, the axion may retreat, at least temporarily, back into the regime of near invisibility. From our results, we urge new ideas for techniques which probe both deeper and more broadly into axion coupling versus axion mass parameter space.

  1. Complementary Probes of Light Higgsinos: Electroweak Precision Measurements and Dark Matter Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Future electroweak precision measurements can probe light higgsinos up to 500 GeV even in compressed spectra below the neutrino fog, complementing direct detection which reaches the 1 TeV thermal relic mass.

  2. Generation as Compositeness: A Subconstituent Interpretation of the $B$-Lattice Flavor Hierarchy

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A subconstituent compositeness reading of the B-lattice organizes fermion masses and mixings on a ninths ladder with Z9 charges, yielding CKM/PMNS forms, m3 ≃ 51 meV, ma ∼ 7–12 μeV, and tanβ ≃ 10–16 from Λ and ε = 14/75.

  3. Bridging the divide: axion searches and axino phenomenology at colliders

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In supersymmetric DFSZ axion models, the LHC with 140 fb^{-1} can probe axion decay constants below 10^{11} GeV for higgsino masses under 1 TeV via displaced neutralino decays to axino LSPs.

  4. Axions as Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Dark Radiation

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A mini-review of axion phenomenology showing how light bosons can account for dark matter, drive cosmic acceleration, or contribute to relativistic backgrounds in the early and late Universe.
