FlexibleSUSY - a meta spectrum generator for supersymmetric models
2016
FlexibleSUSY is a software package that takes as input descriptions of (non-)minimal supersymmetric models written in Wolfram/Mathematica and generates a set of spectrum generator libraries and executables, with the aid of SARAH. The design goals are precision, reliability, modularity, speed, and readability of the code. The boundary conditions are independent C++ objects that are plugged into the boundary value problem solver together with the model objects. This clean separation makes it easy to adapt the generated code for individual projects. The current status of the interface and implementation is sketched.
Soft masses in supersymmetric SO(10) GUTs with low intermediate scales
2011
The specific shape of the squark, slepton and gaugino mass spectra, if measured with sufficient accuracy, can provide invaluable information not only about the dynamics underpinning their origin at some very high scale such as the unification scale ${M}_{G}$, but also about the intermediate scale physics encountered throughout their renormalization group equations evolution down to the energy scale accessible for the LHC. In this work, we study general features of the TeV scale soft supersymmetry breaking parameters stemming from a generic mSugra configuration within certain classes of supersymmetry $SO(10)$ GUTs with different intermediate symmetries below ${M}_{G}$. We show that particula…
Enhanced lepton flavor violation in the supersymmetric inverse seesaw model
2004
We discuss a supersymmetric inverse seesaw model in which lepton flavour violating decays can be enhanced either by flavour violating slepton contributions or by the non-unitarity of the charged current mixing matrix. As an example we calculate Br(mu -> e gamma) taking into account both heavy lepton exchange as well as supersymmetric diagrams in a minimal supergravity framework. We find that the for the same parameters the rate can be enhanced with respect to seesaw model expectations, with or without supersymmetry.
Unification of gauge couplings and the tau-neutrino mass in supergravity without R parity
1999
Minimal R-parity violating supergravity predicts a value for $alpha_s(M_Z)$ smaller than in the case with conserved R-parity, and therefore closer to the experimental world average. We show that the R-parity violating effect on the $alpha_s$ prediction comes from the larger two-loop b-quark Yukawa contribution to the renormalization group evolution of the gauge couplings which characterizes R-parity violating supergravity. The effect is correlated to the tau neutrino mass and is sensitive to the initial conditions on the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters at the unification scale. We show how a few percent effect on $alpha_s(M_Z)$ may naturally occur even with tau neutrino masses as sma…
Gluon spectrum in the glasma from JIMWLK evolution
2011
The JIMWLK equation with a "daughter dipole" running coupling is solved numerically starting from an initial condition given by the McLerran-Venugopalan model. The resulting Wilson line configurations are then used to compute the spectrum of gluons comprising the glasma inital state of a high energy heavy ion collision. The development of a geometrical scaling region makes the spectrum of produced gluons harder. Thus the ratio of the mean gluon transverse momentum to the saturation scale grows with energy. Also the total gluon multiplicity increases with energy slightly faster than the saturation scale squared.
Trilinear couplings and scalar bound states in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model
2001
Abstract The trilinear terms in minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model can be responsible of forming a bound state of scalars. In this talk we outline our results on the study of this bound state using a non-perturbative method, the exact renormalization group. We focus on the trilinear term between the Higgs and stop fields.
CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ε′/ε AND HEAVY TOP
1991
The paper reviews new theoretical developments for the CP-parameter ε′/ε and its intimate connection with the mass of a heavy top quark. It presents an extensive list of results and their implications for experiments.
Infrared and extended on-mass-shell renormalization of two-loop diagrams
2003
Using a toy model Lagrangian we demonstrate the application of both infrared and extended on-mass-shell renormalization schemes to multiloop diagrams by considering as an example a two-loop self-energy diagram. We show that in both cases the renormalized diagrams satisfy a straightforward power counting.
Neutrino anarchy and renormalization group evolution
2015
The observed pattern of neutrino mixing angles is in good agreement with the hypothesis of neutrino anarchy, which posits that Nature has chosen the entries of the leptonic mixing matrix at random. In this paper we investigate how stable this conclusion is under renormalization group effects. Working in the simplest type-I seesaw model and two variants of the inverse seesaw model we study how the statistical distributions of the neutrino mixing parameters evolve between the Grand Unification scale and the electroweak scale. Especially in the inverse seesaw case we find significant distortions: mixing angles tend to be smaller after RG running, and the Dirac CP phase tends to be closer to ze…
Dynamical coexistence in moderately polydisperse hard-sphere glasses
2020
We perform extensive numerical simulations of a paradigmatic model glass former, the hard-sphere fluid with 10% polydispersity. We sample from the ensemble of trajectories with fixed observation time, whereby single trajectories are generated by event-driven molecular dynamics. We show that these trajectories can be characterized in terms of the local structure, and we find a dynamical-structural (active-inactive) phase transition between two dynamical phases: one dominated by liquidlike trajectories with a low degree of local order and one dominated by glassylike trajectories with a high degree of local order. We show that both phases coexist and are separated by a spatiotemporal interface…
