A Spin-1 Top Quark Superpartner

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

We construct a supersymmetric model where the left-handed top and bottom quarks are mainly the gauginos of a vector supermultiplet and hence their superpartners are spin-1. The right-handed top quark is unified with the Higgs, the top Yukawa arises from the gaugino coupling.
