What hadron collider is required to discover or falsify natural supersymmetry

TL;DR: Weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY) remains a compelling extension of the Standard Model because it stabilizes the quantum corrections to the Higgs and W, Z boson masses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sigma-models with torsion

TL;DR: In this article, the N = 1 model on a group manifold is used to illustrate this work and a new 1-parameter family of supercharges is introduced with a connection between this latter model and Kac-Moody partition function identities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of gaugino masses and the SUSY threshold

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical iterative method to account for the evolutions of the gaugino masses (EGM) was proposed, and the effect of these evolutions on the most exhaustive model of SUSY breaking was presented.

A Pedagogical Review of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Scenarios

TL;DR: The Standard Model Higgs mechanism is discussed, the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model is reviewed and three relatively recent ideas: little Higgs, gauge–Higgs unification and Higgsless scenarios are taken up.

Radial Coulomb and oscillator systems in arbitrary dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, a mapping is obtained relating analytical radial Coulomb systems in any dimension greater than one to analytical radial oscillators, involving supersymmetry-based quantum defect theory, is possible for dimensions unavailable to conventional mappings.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
