Weak scale supersymmetry has a generic problem of fine-tuning in reproducing the correct scale for electroweak symmetry breaking. The problem is particularly severe in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM). We…
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the Fermi scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is determined by the pattern of supersymmetry breaking. We present an example, motivated by a higher-dimensional GUT model, where a…

We study neutral and charged Higgs boson production in association with stop and sbottom squarks at the Large Hadron Collider, within the Supergravity inspired Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The phenomenological relevance of such…
Squark mixing plays a large role in the phenomenology of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, determining the mass of the lightest Higgs boson and the electroweak interactions of the squarks themselves. We examine how mixing may be…
If the gauge fields of the Standard Model propagate in TeV-size extra dimensions, they rapidly become strongly coupled and can form scalar bound states of quarks and leptons. If the quarks and leptons of the third generation propagate in 6…
Current searches for the top squark mostly focus on the decay channels of $\tilde{t}_1 \rightarrow t \chi_1^0$ or $\tilde{t}_1 \rightarrow b \chi_1^\pm \rightarrow bW \chi_1^0$, leading to $tt/bbWW+\not\mathrel{E}_T$ final states for top…
It is pointed out that in a wide class of models reminiscent of type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM) the signal of the Higgs produced in association with a top-antitop quark pair ($tth$) and decaying into gauge bosons can be…
In the context of the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking scenario, we investigate the implications of a heavy top quark mass, close to its infrared fixed point, on the low energy parameters of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.…
This paper is motivated by three issues associated with the supersymmetric extension of the standard model: the $\mu$ problem, the possibility of raising the upper bound on the lightest-Higgs mass, and the triviality problem associated with…
Top pairs produced at the Large Hadron Collider exhibit quantum entanglement of their spins near threshold and for boosted, central $t \bar t$ pairs. The entanglement is maintained between the decay products, in particular between the top…
