Finite Unification: phenomenology

Phenomenology of Supersymmetric Gauge-Higgs Unification

Supersymmetric Gauge-Higgs Unification is a well-motivated new physics scenario, both in heterotic model building and from the perspective of higher-dimensional Grand Unified Theories. When combined with radion mediated supersymmetry breaking, it allows for very specific predictions concerning the high-scale parameters of the MSSM. Using an appropriately modified version of a standard RGE evolu...

Supersymmetric Phenomenology in the Light of Grand Unification

I review some aspects of supersymmetric grand unification and emphasize a recent development in the area of gauge coupling unification.

Phenomenology of minimal SU(5) unification with dynamical supersymmetry breaking.

We consider the constraints from proton decay and b-τ unification in the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory with a ‘visible’ dynamical supersymmetry breaking sector. We show how the presence of vector-like messenger fields and the constrained superparticle mass spectrum affect the phenomenology of the model. We include the messenger fields in our renormalization group analysis be...

Beautiful Mirrors, Unification of Couplings and Collider Phenomenology

The Standard Model provides an excellent description of the observables measured at high energy lepton and hadron colliders. However, measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry of the bottom quark at LEP suggest that the effective coupling of the righthanded bottom quark to the neutral weak gauge boson is significantly different from the value predicted by the Standard Model. Such a large d...
