Measuring Fine Tuning In Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
The solution to fine tuning is one of the principal motivations for supersymmetry. However constraints on the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) suggest it may also require fine tuning (although to a much lesser extent). To compare this tuning with different extensions of the Standard Model (including other supersymmetric models) it is essential that we have a reliable, quantitative measure of tuning. We review the measures of tuning used in the literature and propose an alternative measure. We apply this measure to several toy models and the MSSM with some intriguing results.

And CMSSM models that survive present limits typically suffer from ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Unification Without Low Energy Supersymmetry And Signatures for Fine-Tuning at the LHC
The cosmological constant problem is a failure of naturalness and suggests that a fine-tuning mechanism is at work, which may also address the hierarchy problem. An example – supported by Weinberg’s successful prediction of the cosmological constant – is the potentially vast landscape of vacua in string theory, where the existence of galaxies and atoms is promoted to a vacuum selection criterio...

We discuss fine-tuning constraints on supergravity models. The tightest constraints come from the experimental mass limits on two key particles: the lightest CP even Higgs boson and the gluino. We also include the lightest chargino which is relevant when universal gaugino masses are assumed. For each of these particles we show how fine-tuning increases with the experimental mass limit, for four...
متن کاملConformal Supersymmetry Breaking and Dynamical Tuning of the Cosmological Constant
We propose “conformal supersymmetry breaking” models, which tightly relate the conformal breaking scale (i.e. R-symmetry breaking scale) and the supersymmetry breaking scale. The both scales are originated from the constant term in the superpotential through the common source of the R-symmetry breaking. We show that dynamical tuning between those mass scales significantly reduces the degree of ...
متن کاملNaturalness, Weak Scale Supersymmetry and the Prospect for the Observation of Supersymmetry at the Tevatron and at the LHC
Naturalness bounds on weak scale supersymmetry in the context of radiative breaking of the electro-weak symmetry are analyzed. In the case of minimal supergravity it is found that for low tanβ and for low values of fine tuning Φ, where Φ is defined essentially by the ratio μ/M Z where μ is the Higgs mixing parameter and MZ is the Z boson mass, the allowed values of the universal scalar paramete...
