Naturalness of supersymmetric models
نویسنده
چکیده
After presenting a simple procedure for testing naturalness (similar to Bayesian inference and not more subjective than it) we show that LEP2 experiments pose a naturalness problem for ‘conventional’ supersymmetric models. About 95% of the parameter space of minimal supergravity MSSM is excluded by LEP2 experiments. Moreover in this model electroweak baryogenesis, or detectable supersymmetric corrections to mixing of K and B mesons, are possible only in very small corners of the parameter space. The naturalness problem is stronger in gauge mediation models, expecially with light messengers. We recall some possible explanations (different from an improbable numerical accident) of why supersymmetry has not (yet?) been found.

Naturalness Constraints in Supersymmetric Theories with Non-Universal Soft Terms
In the absence of universality the naturalness upper limits on supersymmetric particle masses increase significantly. The superpartners of the two light generations can be much heavier than the weak scale without extreme fine-tunings; they can weigh up to about 900 GeV — or even up to 5 TeV, if SU(5) universality is invoked. This supresses sparticlemediated rare processes and consequently ameli...
متن کاملSome Questions of Flavor in Supersymmetry ⋆
We consider certain naturalness questions in supersymmetric theories. Various suggestions which give rise to squark degeneracies are reviewed. A stringy scenario, discussed by Kaplunovsky and Louis, is the only one which leads to complete degeneracy of squarks and sleptons at the high scale. Alternatives include the possible existence of a gauged non-Abelian horizontal symmetry, broken at some ...
متن کاملViable Supersymmetric Models with an Inverted Scalar Mass Hierarchy at the Gut Scale
Supersymmetric models with an inverted mass hierarchy (IMH: multi-TeV first and second generation matter scalars, and sub-TeV third generation and Higgs scalars) have been proposed to ameliorate phenomenological problems arising from flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) and CP violating processes, while satisfying conditions of naturalness. Models with an IMH already in place at the GUT sca...
متن کاملNaturalness upper bounds on gauge mediated soft terms
After a general discussion about the quantitative meaning of the naturalness upper bounds on the masses of supersymmetric particles, we compute these bounds in models with gauge-mediated soft terms. We find interesting upper limits on the right-handed slepton masses that, unless the messenger fields are very light, disfavor minimal models with large messenger content. Deep unphysical minima, th...
متن کاملThe Naturalness, Dark Matter and Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in the Supersymmetric Standard Models with a Pseudo-Dirac Gluino
We study the naturalness, dark matter, and muon anomalous magnetic moment in the Supersymmetric Standard Models (SSMs) with a pseudo-Dirac gluino (PDGSSMs) from hybrid F− and D−term supersymmetry (SUSY) breakings. To obtain the observed dark matter relic density and explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment, we find that the low energy fine-tuning measures are larger than about 200 due to stro...
