Recent Progress in SUSY GUTs K.S. Babu Oklahoma State University ICHEP 2010 Palaise des Congres, Paris July 22-28, 2010
Structure of Matter Multiplets Standard Model SO(10)
Evolution of Gauge Couplings Standard Model MSSM
Neutrino masses and the scale of new physics from atmospheric neutrino oscillation data Very Close to the GUT scale Leptogenesis via nR decay explains cosmological baryon asymmetry
Minimal SU(5) GUT Georgi, Glashow (1974) Matter multiplets: Higgs: Contain color triplets Yukawa Couplings
MSSM Higgs doublets have color triplet partners in GUTs must remain light must have GUT scale mass to prevent rapid proton decay Doublet-triplet splitting Even if color triplets have GUT scale mass, d=5 proton decay is problematic
Doublet-Triplet splitting in SUSY SU(5) FINE-TUNED TO O(MW) • The GOOD • Predicts unification of couplings • Uses economic Higgs sector • The BAD • Unnatural fine tuning • Large proton decay rate
Nucleon decay in SUSY GUTs Hisano, Murayama, Yanagida (1993) Nath, Perez, Phys. Rept. (2007)
Higgsino Exchange: Sakai, Yanagida (1982) Weinberg (1982)
SUSY SO(10) Model with 126-plet Higgs: Automatic R-parity contains contains Model has only 11 real parameters plus 7 phases Bertolini, Frigerio, Malinsky (2004) Babu, Macesanu (2005) Dutta, Mimura, Mohapatra (2007) Bajc, Dorsner, Nemevsek (2009) Babu, Mohapatra (1993) Bajc, Melfo, Senjanovic, Vissani (2004) Fukuyama, Ilakovac, Kikuchi, Meljanac, Okada (2004) Aulakh et al (2004)
