Low-Energy Signatures of Semi-perturbative Unification
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the low-energy signatures of, and high-energy motivations for, scenarios of semi-perturbative gauge coupling unification. Such scenarios can leave striking imprints on the low-energy sparticle spectrum, including novel gaugino mass ratios (including M2/M1 ≈ 1), substantial compression of the intra-generational squark-to-slepton mass ratios, and an overall lifting of scalar masses relative to the gauginos. We also demonstrate that the unification scale can be raised to MX ≈ 4 × 1017 GeV while still in the perturbative regime – close to the 1-loop heterotic string scale. We employ a 3-loop calculation of the running of the gauge couplings as a test of the perturbativity of the high-scale theory.

Three loop soft running , benchmark points and semi - perturbative unification
We consider three-loop β-function corrections to the sparticle spectrum in the MSSM, with particular emphasis on Snowmass Benchmark points. The three loop running has little effect on the weakly interacting particle spectrum, but for the squark masses the effect can be comparable to, or greater than, that of two loop running. We extend the analysis to the semi-perturbative unification scenario,...
متن کاملPerturbative Unification of Soft Supersymmetry–Breaking Terms
Perturbative unification of soft supersymmetry–breaking (SSB) parameters is proposed in Gauge-Yukawa unified models. The method, which can be applied in any finite order in perturbation theory, consists in searching for renormalization group invariant relations among the SSB parameters, which are consistent with perturbative renormalizability. For the minimal Gauge-Yukawa unified model based on...
متن کاملPerturbative SO(10) Grand Unification
We consider a phenomenologically viable SO(10) grand unification model of the unification scale MG around 10 16 GeV which reproduces the MSSM at low energy and allows perturbative calculations up to the Planck scale MP or the string scale Mst. Both requirements strongly restrict a choice of Higgs representations in a model. We propose a simple SO(10) model with a set of Higgs representations {2...
متن کاملLimits on the mass of the lightest Higgs in supersymmetric models
In supersymmetric models extended with a gauge singlet the mass of the lightest Higgs boson has contributions proportional to the adimen-sional coupling λ. In minimal scenarios, the requirement that this coupling remains perturbative up to the unification scale constrains λ to be smaller than ≈ 0.7. We study the maximum value of λ consistent with a perturbative unification of the gauge coupling...
متن کاملIfic 95/32 Low Energy Yukawa Input Parameters for Yukawa Coupling Unification
GUT and SUSY theories predict some relations among the fermion masses (or more properly among Yukawa couplings) at the unification scale, MGUT ∼ 10(GeV ) . For instance, in SU(5) we have the usual lepton-bottom quarks unification, hb = hτ , hs = hμ, hd = he, or the modified Georgi-Jarlskog relation, hb = hτ , hs = hμ/3, hd = 3he, while for SO(10) typically we get unification of the third family...
