For decades, the unnaturalness of the weak scale has been the dominant problem motivating new particle physics, and weak-scale supersymmetry has been the dominant proposed solution. This paradigm is now being challenged by a wealth of experimental data. In this review, we begin by recalling the theoretical motivations for weak-scale supersymmetry, including the gauge hierarchy problem, grand unification, and WIMP dark matter, and their implications for superpartner masses. These are set against the leading constraints on supersymmetry from collider searches, the Higgs boson mass, and low-energy constraints on flavor and CP violation. We then critically examine attempts to quantify naturalness in supersymmetry, stressing the many subjective choices that impact the results both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally, we survey various proposals for natural supersymmetric models, including effective supersymmetry, focus point supersymmetry, compressed supersymmetry, and R-parity-violating supersymmetry, and summarize their key features, current status, and implications for future experiments.

  1. Prospects for probing light photophobic axion-like particles via displaced vertex signals at the CEPC

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At the CEPC Z-pole (91.2 GeV, 100 ab^-1), displaced-vertex searches for photophobic ALPs via Z→aγ could probe g_aWW from about 10^-3 to 0.68 TeV^-1 for m_a=1-9 GeV.

  2. Can blind spots save neutralino dark matter in natural supersymmetry models?

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Direct-detection blind spots fail to rescue stable light higgsino dark matter in electroweak-natural NUHM2/NUHM3 models once LZ, LHC soft-dilepton, and Higgs-mass constraints are imposed.

  3. Single production of singlet vector-like leptons at the ILC

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Projected 5-sigma discovery regions for singlet vector-like leptons at the 1 TeV ILC are derived, covering masses 300-700 GeV and coupling kappa down to about 0.026.

  4. Prospects for probing neutral vector-like leptons via pair production at muon collider

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Simulations indicate a 6 TeV muon collider with 4 ab^{-1} can reach >5σ significance for neutral doublet VLLs of 1.3-3 TeV mass using 4j2μ and 2ℓ2μ + missing energy channels under polarized beams.
