Do Incomplete GUT Multiplets Always Spoil Unification?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-10-26 v1

Abstract

We consider a new class of light vectorlike exotics with fractional electric charge which do not come in complete representations of a grand unified gauge group, and are nevertheless compatible with gauge coupling unification and other predictions from Grand Unified Theories. Such states naturally arise in orbifold constructions of the heterotic string. Some aspects of their phenomenology and the consequences for the LHC are explored.
