A low $\alpha_s$ and its consequences for unified model building

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We review various ways of obtaining consistency between the idea of supersymmetric grand unification and an apparent low value of αs0.112\alpha_s \sim 0.112 indicated by several low energy experiments. We argue that to reconcile the low value of αs\alpha_s with the predictions of supersymmetric GUTs, we need to go beyond the standard minimal supersymmetric GUT scenario and invoke new physics either at 1011101210^{11}-10^{12} GeV, or at the GUT scale.
