Observing The Hidden Sector

چکیده
We study the effects of renormalization due to hidden-sector dynamics on observable soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), under various hypotheses about their universality at a high input scale. We show that hidden-sector renormalization effects may induce the spurious appearance of unification of the scalar masses at some lower scale, as in mirage unification scenarios. We demonstrate in simple two-parameter models of the hiddensector dynamics that the parameters may in principle be extracted from experimental measurements, rendering the hidden sector observable. We also discuss the ingredients that would be necessary to carry this programme out in practice.

Discovering hidden sectors with mono - photon Z ′ searches
In many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model, from extra dimensions to Hidden Valleys and models of dark matter, Z ′ bosons mediate between Standard Model particles and hidden sector states. We study the feasibility of observing such hidden states through an invisibly decaying Z ′ at the LHC. We focus on the process pp → γZ ′ → γXX†, where X is any neutral, (quasi-) stable particle, wh...
متن کاملTaylor Expansion for the Entropy Rate of Hidden Markov Chains
We study the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process, defined by observing the output of a symmetric channel whose input is a first order Markov process. Although this definition is very simple, obtaining the exact amount of entropy rate in calculation is an open problem. We introduce some probability matrices based on Markov chain's and channel's parameters. Then, we try to obtain an estimate ...
متن کاملRelative Entropy Rate between a Markov Chain and Its Corresponding Hidden Markov Chain
In this paper we study the relative entropy rate between a homogeneous Markov chain and a hidden Markov chain defined by observing the output of a discrete stochastic channel whose input is the finite state space homogeneous stationary Markov chain. For this purpose, we obtain the relative entropy between two finite subsequences of above mentioned chains with the help of the definition of...
متن کاملInvestigating Asymmetry of Prices and Productivity of Energy Carriers in Iran’s Agricultural Sector
Energy carriers are one of the most important inputs in the agricultural sector. These inputs have been the foundation of the development and transition of the agricultural sector from the traditional stage to the industrial stage. The energy per capita marginal consumption in Iran’s agricultural sector is 3.2 times greater than its global average. Therefore, it is essential to save and optimal...
متن کاملThe Invisible Z ′ at the LHC
We study the feasibility of observing an invisibly decaying Z ′ at the LHC through the process pp → ZZ ′ → l+l−XX†, where X is any neutral, (quasi-) stable particle, whether a Standard Model (SM) neutrino or a new state. The measurement of the invisible width through this process facilitates both a model independent measurement of ΓZ′→ν̄ν and potentially detection of light neutral hidden states....
