Weak-scale Supersymmetry: Theory and Practice
نویسنده
چکیده
These lectures contain an introduction to the theory and practice of weak-scale supersymmetry. They begin with a discussion of the hierarchy problem and the motivation for weak-scale supersymmetry. They continue by developing the coset approach to superfields. They use superfield techniques to construct the minimal supersymmetric version of the standard model and to discuss soft supersymmetry breaking and its implications. The lectures end with a brief survey of expectations for future collider experiments.

Breaking of Supersymmetry at Intermediate Energy*
We consider the proposal that supersymmetry is broken at a scale p midway between the Planck scale M and the usual weak scale. We show how a phenomenological explicitly softly broken supersymmetric theory can emerge below scale I-I. The characteristic scale for the explicit supersymmetry breaking is of order a~zOl. Identifying this with the weak scale ~250 GeV gives w u 10'2 GeV.
متن کاملSupersymmetry without the Desert
Naturalness of electroweak symmetry breaking in weak scale supersymmetric theories may suggest the absence of the conventional supersymmetric desert. We present a simple, realistic framework for supersymmetry in which (most of) the virtues of the supersymmetric desert are naturally reproduced without having a large energy interval above the weak scale. The successful supersymmetric prediction f...
متن کاملChallenging weak-scale supersymmetry at colliders.
Experimental searches for supersymmetry are entering a new era. As future experiments explore the mass range above the current lower bounds on superpartner masses, a failure to observe signals of superpartner production will begin to erode the central motivation for supersymmetry at the weak scale. In this article we present a detailed examination of which regions of supersymmetric parameter sp...
متن کاملWeak Effective Lagrangian in the Minimal Flavor Violation Supersymmetry
To evaluate the weak decays of b-hadrons, the ∆B = 1 weak effective Lagrangian is the foundation. Any new physics beyond the standard model (SM) would contribute to the effective Lagrangian through the loop integration at the weak scale and evolution from the weak scale down to the hadronic scale. In this work we present a systematic analysis on the effective Lagrangian which mediates hadronic ...
متن کاملSplit Supersymmetry in String Theory
Type I string theory in the presence of internal magnetic fields provides a concrete realization of split supersymmetry. To lowest order, gauginos are massless while squarks and sleptons are superheavy. For weak magnetic fields, the correct Standard Model spectrum guarantees gauge coupling unification with sin2 θW = 3/8 at the compactification scale of MGUT ≃ 2× 1016 GeV. I discuss mechanisms f...
