ar X iv : h ep - p h / 06 01 17 8 v 1 2 0 Ja n 20 06 Locked Quintessence and Cold Dark Matter

A supersymmetric hybrid potential model with low energy supersymmetry breaking scale (MS ∼ 1 − 10Tev) is presented for both dark matter and dark energy. Cold dark matter is associated with a light modulus field (∼ 10−100Mev) undergoing coherent oscillations around a saddle point false vacuum with the presently observed energy density (ρ0 ∼ 10 eV ). The latter is generated by its coupling to a l...

In this talk I present recent studies on vacuum polarization energies and energy densities induced by QED flux tubes. I focus on comparing three and four dimensional scenarios and the discussion of various approximation schemes in view of the exact treatment.

ar X iv : h ep - p h / 06 01 10 3 v 1 1 3 Ja n 20 06 A Quick Guide to SUSY Tools ∗

The last decade has seen the emergence of a wide range of automated calculations for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. This guide contains a brief summary of these, with the main focus on hadron collider phenomenology, as well as a brief introduction to the so-called SUSY Les Houches Accord.
