چکیده

The supersymmetric flavor, CP and Polonyi problems are hints that the fundamental scale of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters may be above a TeV, in apparent conflict with naturalness. We consider the possibility that multi-TeV scalar masses are generated by Planckor unification-scale physics, and find the conditions under which the masses of scalars with large Yukawa couplings are driven, radiatively and asymptotically, to the weak scale through renormalization group evolution. Light third generation scalars then satisfy naturalness, while first and second generation scalars remain heavy to satisfy experimental constraints. We find that this mechanism is beautifully realized in the context of grand unified theories. In particular, the existence of right-handed neutrinos plays an important role in allowing remarkably simple scenarios. For example, for SO(10) boundary conditions with the squared masses of Higgs scalars double those of sleptons and squarks, we find that the entire scalar mass scale may be increased to 4 TeV at the unification scale without sacrificing naturalness.

Renormalization-group constraints in supersymmetric theories.

Supersymmetric theories provide a promising framework for the solution of the fine-tuning and gaugehierarchy problems. ' They are the only known theories where elementary scalars are naturally light. The lightness of the Higgs boson can be understood if supersymmetry remains unbroken down to the weak scale M~. In spite of their enlarged symmetry, supersymmetric theories fail to provide any new ...

Baryogenesis with Scalar Bilinears

We show that if a baryon asymmetry of the universe is generated through the outof-equilibrium decays of heavy scalar bilinears coupling to two fermions of the minimal standard model, it is necessarily an asymmetry conserving (B−L) which cannot survive past the electroweak phase transition because of sphalerons. We then show that a surviving (B − L) asymmetry may be generated if the heavy scalar...

Status of Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories

We begin with a brief discussion of the building blocks of supersymmetric grand unified theories. We recall some of the compelling theoretical reasons for viewing supersymmetric grand unification as an attractive avenue for physics beyond the standard model. This is followed by a discussion of some of the circumstantial evidence for these ideas. Invited Speaker at the XII DAE Symposium on High ...

µ → eγ and µ → 3e processes with polarized muons and supersymmetric grand unified theories Abstract µ + → e + γ and µ + → e + e + e − processes are analyzed in detail with polarized muons in supersymmetric grand unified theories. We first present Dalitz plot distribution for µ + → e + e + e − decay based on effective La-grangian with general lepton-flavor-violating couplings and define various ...

Gravitational corrections to fermion masses in grand unified theories

There are several hints that the strong and electroweak forces unify at some very large energy typically assumed to be at around 10 GeV. The quantum fields of the standard model fit nicely into simple representations of a grand unified theory [1] such as e.g. SUð5Þ or SOð10Þ. The idea of unification is extremely attractive for several reasons. For example, a grand unification drastically reduce...
