We present a locally supersymmetric extension of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y\times U(1)^\prime$ where, except for the supersymmetry breaking scale which is…
Discarding the prejudice about fine tuning, we propose a novel and efficient approach to identify relevant regions of fundamental parameter space in supersymmetric models with some amount of fine tuning. The essential idea is the mapping of…
We study gauge theories where quasi-hidden sectors are added to the MSSM for the sake of string consistency conditions which would otherwise not be satisfied. We focus on quiver gauge theories motivated by weakly coupled type II orientifold…
We propose a Minimal E_6 Supersymmetric Standard Model (ME$_6$SSM) which allows Planck scale unification, provides a solution to the $\mu$ problem and predicts a new Z'. Above the conventional GUT scale $M_{GUT}\sim 10^{16}$ GeV the gauge…
We explore the dark matter sector in extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) that can provide a good fit to the PAMELA cosmic ray positron excess, while at the same time addressing the little hierarchy problem of the…
In the absence of low energy supersymmetry, we show that (a) the dark matter particle alone at the TeV scale can improve gauge coupling unification, raising the unification scale up to the lower bound imposed by proton decay, and (b) the…
From the current ATLAS and CMS results on Higgs boson mass and decay rates, the NMSSM is obviously better than the MSSM. To explain the fine-tuning problems such as gauge hiearchy problem and strong CP problem in the SM, we point out that…
The minimal gauge group extension to the standard model (SM) by the local $U(1)_{B-L}$ (MBLSM) is well known as the minimal model to understand neutrino mass origins via the seesaw mechanism, following the gauge principle. This "small"…
We find a large class of supersymmetric domain wall solutions from six-dimensional $N=(2,2)$ gauged supergravity with various gauge groups. In general, the embedding tensor lives in $\mathbf{144}_c$ representation of the global symmetry…
We report on a search for extra spatial dimensions compactified at radii that are vast compared to those of the Planck length, and even larger than the distance corresponding to the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. The study is based…
We analyze one-loop vacuum stability, perturbativity, and phenomenological constraints on a complex singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector containing a scalar dark matter candidate. We study vacuum stability…
We determine the degree of fine tuning needed in a generalised version of the NMSSM that follows from an underlying Z4 or Z8 R symmetry. We find that it is significantly less than is found in the MSSM or NMSSM and extends the range of Higgs…
We construct a list of minimal scale-invariant models at the TeV scale that generate one-loop neutrino mass and give viable dark matter candidates. The models generically contain a singlet scalar and a $Z_2$-odd sector comprised of singlet,…
The growth of the density fluctuations is considered to be an important cosmological test. In the standard model, for a matter dominated universe, the growth of the density perturbations evolves with redshift z like (1/{1+z))^s with s=1.…
We study the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) as the simplest candidate solution to the $\mu$-problem in the context of the gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking (GMSB). We first review various proposals to solve…
The neutralino-nucleon cross section in the context of the MSSM with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking terms is compared with the limits from dark matter detectors. Our analysis is focussed on the stability of the corresponding cross…
The new minimal supersymmetric standard model (nMSSM), a variant of the general next to minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) without $Z_3$ symmetry, features a naturally light singlino with a mass below 75 GeV. In light of the new…
We investigate the phenomenology of the Nearly Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (nMSSM) in the deflected anomaly mediation scenario. We also include the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term of the standard model gauge group. In the nMSSM, the mu…
We have recently proposed a setup of the "Domain-Wall Standard Model" in 5D spacetime, where all the Standard Model (SM) fields are localized in certain domains of the extra 5th dimension. Utilizing this setup, we attempt to solve the…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) is a primary candidate for new physics beyond the SM. If SUSY breaking scale is very low, for example, the multi-TeV range, and the SUSY breaking sector, except for the goldstino…
