TLDR
In this paper, the influence of threshold effects due to massive degrees of freedom in the evolution with scale of gauge coupling constants was studied, and it was shown that threshold effects bring conflict between the known experimental data at m Z, the naturalness upper bound on the masses of susy partners and the perturbative unification of couplings.

Fermion masses, neutrino oscillations, and proton decay in the light of superKamiokande

TL;DR: In this article, a predictive SO (10)-based framework was proposed for neutrino masses and mixing of all quarks and leptons. But the model is not suitable for the case of neutrinos and does not support a small-angle MSW mechanism.

The problems of unification-mismatch and low α3: A solution with light vector-like matter

TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the four-dimensional unified string coupling should very likely have an intermediate value (∼ 0.2 − 0.3, say) so that it may be large enough to stabilize the dilaton but not so large as to disturb the coupling-unification relations.

Physical Renormalization Schemes and Grand Unification

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed supersymmetric grand unification in the context of physical renormalization schemes and found a number of qualitative differences and improvements in precision over conventional approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unification predictions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a precise determination of these predictions for a class of models which extend the multiplet structure of the minimal supersymmetric standard model to include the heavy states expected in many Grand Unified and/or superstring theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supersymmetry: from the Fermi scale to the Planck scale

TL;DR: The physics of supersymmetry is reviewed from the perspective of physics at ever increasing energies, starting from the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model at the electroweak scale, and proceeding to higher energies seeking to understand the origin of the many model parameters.

Review of particle properties.

K. Hagiwara, +142 more
- 01 Aug 1994 - 
TL;DR: This biennial Review summarizes much of Particle Physics using data from previous editions, plus 2205 new measurements from 667 papers, and features expanded coverage of CP violation in B mesons and of neutrino oscillations.

Asymptotically Free Gauge Theories. I

TL;DR: In this paper, the renormalization-group equations are derived for Yang-Mills theories and the parameters that enter into the equations are calculated to lowest order and it is shown that these theories are asymptotically free.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of grand unified theories with electroweak and strong coupling constants measured at LEP

TL;DR: In this paper, the DELPHI Collaboration data was used to show that in the minimal non-supersymmetric standard model with one Higgs doublet a single unification point is excluded by more than 7 standard deviations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum electrodynamics at small distances

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the perturbation series to all orders in the coupling constant takes on very simple asymptotic forms and that the series satisfy certain functional equations by virtue of the renormalizability of the theory.

Infrared Singularities and Massive Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown in the context of a simple model of gauge mesons coupled to massive fermions that the heavy fields decouple at low momenta except for their contribution to renormalization effects.
