Electric dipole moments and b-τ unification in the presence of an intermediate scale in SUSY grand unification
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that an intermediate gauge symmetry breaking scale can be a significant source of electric dipole moments for the electron and neutron in supersymmetric grand unified theories. New phases, similar to that of the CKM matrix, appear which do not arise from the supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking operators. To illustrate, we choose some grand unified SUSY models having an intermediate gauge symmetry breaking scale with some attractive features. We also show how well the b− τ unification hypothesis works in this class of models.

Considerations of massive neutrinos, baryogenesis as well as fermion mass textures in the grand unified theory framework provide strong motivations for supersymmetric(SUSY) SO(10) as the theory beyond the standard model. If one wants to simultaneously solve the strong CP problem via the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, the most natural way to implement it within the framework of the SUSY SO(10) model is...
متن کاملThe b − τ unification in GUTs with non - chiral matter
It is shown, that the presently accepted value for b-quark mass can be obtained from the requirement of the exact b − τ unification in the both non-SUSY and SUSY non-chiral extended GUTs. Introduction. In due time the minimal SU(5) grand unification proposal [1] had ignited interest to the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) business by the calculation of the unification scale M GUT and mixing angle sin...

The question of CP violating phases in supersymmetry and electric dipole moments (EDMs) is considered within the framework of supergravity grand unification (GUT) models with a light (< ∼1 TeV) mass spectrum. In the minimal model, the nearness of the t-quark Landau pole automatically suppresses the t-quark cubic soft breaking phase at the electroweak scale. However, current EDM data require the...

Motivated by the possibilities of b − τ or t− b − τ Yukawa unification in the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, we consider the dangerous directions of the supersymmetric potential for large values of tanβ (>∼ 30), in two versions of the minimal supergravity model with and without common soft breaking scalar masses at the GUT scale, where the potential may become unbounded from below. We f...

Grand unification is an attractive idea and enables the unification of forces and the (partial) unification of quarks and leptons in each family.1) The introduction of supersymmetry (SUSY) increases the reality of grand unification. In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the gauge couplings meet at MX = 2.1× 1016GeV if the superpartners and Higgs particles exist below or around O(...
