Gauge Coupling Unification in General Supersymmetric Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the effects of additional fields on the unification of gauge couplings in supersymmetric models. We find that the effects are quite constrained by the requirement of SU(5) gauge invariance. In general, we find that any extension of the MSSM will form complete SU(5) multiplets or spoil gauge coupling unification.

Gauge Coupling Unification in Superstring Derived Standard–like Models
I discuss gauge coupling unification in a class of superstring standard–like models, which are derived in the free fermionic formulation. Recent calculations indicate that the superstring unification scale is at O(10GeV ) while the minimal supersymmetric standard model is consistent with LEP data if the unification scale is at O(10)GeV . A generic feature of the superstring standard–like models...
متن کاملGauge Unification and the Supersymmetric Light Higgs Mass
We consider general supersymmetric models with (a) arbitrary matter content and (b) gauge coupling unification near the string scale ,1017 GeV, and derive the absolute upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson. For models without Higgs couplings to extra SU(2) triplets the bound is about 155 GeV. The bound is maximized for models with such triplets and can be as high as 205 GeV, signi...
متن کاملPartly Supersymmetric Grand Unification
It is shown how grand unification can occur in models which are partly supersymmetric. The particle states which are composite do not contribute to the running of gauge couplings above the compositeness scale, while the elementary states contribute the usual large logarithmns. This introduces a new differential running contribution to the gauge couplings from partly composite SU(5) matter multi...
متن کاملUpper bounds on supersymmetry breaking from gauge coupling unification
I derive conservative upper bounds on the supersymmetry breaking parameter m1/2 as a function of the strong coupling in the Standard Supersymmetric Model (SSM) using gauge coupling unification. I find that over more than 99% of the parameter space, α3 > 0.120 implies that m1/2 is below 10TeV and α3 > 0.129 implies that m1/2 is below 1TeV. I express the variation of these bounds over the SSM par...
متن کاملGauge Unification in Supersymmetric Intersecting Brane Worlds
We show that contrary to first expectations realistic three generation supersymmetric intersecting brane world models give rise to phenomenologically interesting predictions about gauge coupling unification. Assuming the most economical way of realizing the matter content of the MSSM via intersecting branes we obtain a model independent relation among the three gauge coupling constants at the s...
