TeV scale unification in four dimensions versus extra dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gauge coupling constant unification at the low (O(TeV)) scale can be obtained just in four dimensions, without help of the power like renormalization group evolution in extra dimensions, due to the presence of some extra particle states at intermediate scales. We show explicit examples of such extra states in the range of 100 GeV – 1 TeV which can be easily observed on future colliders and can have important impact on the particle phenomenology. The problems of the low scale grand unification and proton stability are also discussed. [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Strong coupling unification and extra dimensions ∗
We analyze the implications of electroweak and strong coupling unification in a very general class of models extending the minimal supersymmetric standard model in 4 + p dimensions (p ≥ 0). In general, electroweak precision data require the presence of large extra dimensions (low compactification scales, M c) and/or low unification scale, M U. In particular, the actual experimental value of the...
متن کاملGrand Unification at Intermediate Mass Scales through Extra Dimensions
One of the drawbacks of conventional grand unification scenarios has been that the unification scale is too high to permit direct exploration. In this paper, we show that the unification scale can be significantly lowered (perhaps even to the TeV scale) through the appearance of extra spacetime dimensions. Such extra dimensions are a natural consequence of string theories with largeradius compa...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and electroweak breaking from extra dimensions at the TeV scale
We analyze some features of the role that extra dimensions, of radius R in the TeV range, can play in the soft breaking of supersymmetry and the spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry. We use a minimal model where the gauge and Higgs boson sector of the MSSM are living in the bulk of five dimensions and the chiral multiplets in a four-dimensional boundary. Supersymmetry is broken in the b...
متن کاملTeV scale superstring and extra dimensions
Utilizing the idea of extra large dimensions, it has been suggested that the gauge and gravity couplings unification can happen at a scale as low as 1 TeV. In this paper, we explore this phenomenological possibility within string theory. In particular, we discuss how the proton decay bound can be satisfied in type I string theory. The string picture also suggests different scenarios of gauge an...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification with Extra Dimensions and Gravitational Scale Effects
We study gauge coupling unification in the presence of extra dimensions compactified at a few TeV. Achieving unification requires a large number of gauge boson Kaluza-Klein excitations lighter than the string scale, such that the higher-dimensional gauge couplings are O(1) in string scale units. Corrections to the gauge couplings from two or more loops are about 10% or larger, hence string (or ...
