Supersymmetry and Cosmology

TL;DR: The implications of cosmology for supersymmetry and vice versa were discussed in this article, with speculations about the prospects for a microscopic description of the dark universe, stressing the necessity of diverse experiments on both sides of the particle physics/cosmology interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where is SUSY

TL;DR: There are many arguments in favor of Supersymmetry (SUSY) as the leading candidate for physics beyond the SM, like the unification of the coupling constants at the GUT (Grand Unified Theory) scale with SUSY masses in the TeV range, solving the hierarchy problem and electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) by radiative corrections, see e.g. as mentioned in this paper.

An updated analysis of two classes of f(R) theories of gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider two classes of fourth-order gravity theories and investigate their viability on cosmological scales, including the combined Hubble diagram of Type Ia supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts, the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ data from passively evolving red galaxies, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations extracted from the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the distance priors from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe seven years (WMAP7) data.

Separating astrophysical sources from indirect dark matter signals

TL;DR: The status of indirect searches with gamma rays using two promising targets, the Inner Galaxy and the isotropic gamma-ray background, are reviewed and approaches which can enhance the sensitivity of indirect Searches using these targets are highlighted.

Multi-component Dark Matter in a Simplified E$_6$SSM Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the lightest higgsinos of the active and inert sectors give a viable setup for two-component DM in the SSM and illustrate the scope of both direct and indirect detection experiments in extracting such a DM sector.

The Early Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

Partial Symmetries of Weak Interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak and electromagnetic interactions of leptons are examined under the hypothesis that the weak interactions are mediated by vector bosons, and it is shown that the simplest partially-symmetric model reproducing the observed electromagnetic and weak interactions requires the existence of at least four vector-boson fields (including the photon).
