We study the lepton flavor violation in the supersymmetric seesaw model taking into account recent experimental improvements, especially for the Higgs boson mass measurement, direct searches of superpartners and the rare decay of B_s -> mu+…
We suggest simple ways of implementing Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry to solve the strong CP problem in renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ models with a minimal Yukawa sector. Realistic fermion mass generation requires that a second pair of Higgs…
We {works done in collaboration with C.S.Kim, Yonsei Univ., Seoul, Korea} present some properties of the SM with two Higgs doublets. Unlike the minimal SM, the Yukawa couplings (in the usual ``type II'' model) converge with the increasing…
We present a new geometric approach to the flavour decomposition of an arbitrary soft supersymmetry-breaking sector in the MSSM. Our approach is based on the geometry that results from the quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, and enables us…
We use the idea of partial compositeness in a minimal supersymmetric model to relate the fermion and sfermion masses. By assuming that the Higgs and third-generation matter is (mostly) elementary, while the first- and second-generation…
Recent renormalization group calculations of the sparticle mass spectrum in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) show that t-b-\tau Yukawa coupling unification at M_{\rm GUT} is possible when the mass spectra follow the pattern…
We consider two copies of the Standard Model, interchanged by an exact parity symmetry, P. The observed fermion mass hierarchy is described by suppression factors $\epsilon^{n_i}$ for charged fermion $i$, as can arise in Froggatt-Nielsen…
We discuss the proper starting point to look into flavor physics under the perspective of solving the hierarchy problem with the little Higgs mechanism -- the construction of anomaly free fermionic spectra of the effective theory of…
The possibility of radiatively generated fermion masses arising from chiral flavor violation in soft supersymmetry-breaking terms is explored. Vacuum stability constraints are considered in various classes of models, and allow in principle…
With the aim of linking natural supersymmetry to flavour physics, a model is proposed based on a family symmetry G \times U(1), where G is a discrete nonabelian subgroup of SU(2), with both F-term and (abelian) D-term supersymmetry…
Experimental study at LHC of the possible Higgs boson should soon provide accurate estimates of the Yukawa couplings $Y_{H\bar{f}f}$ for $f=t,b,\tau$. In the presence of a non-abelian discrete flavor symmetry $G_F$ (e.g. T') the usual…
We propose a natural $ S_4 \times SO(10) $ supersymmetric grand unified theory of flavour with an auxiliary $\mathbb{Z}_4^2 \times \mathbb{Z}_4^R$ symmetry, based on small Higgs representations (nothing larger than an adjoint) and hence a…
We study the quark flavor violating Higgs-boson decay $h \rightarrow \bar b s + b \bar s$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The decay is analyzed first in a model independent, and in a second step in the minimal flavor…
A new particle with proprieties similar to those of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM) has been recently discovered. The biggest discrepancy is related to its diphoton decay, whose branching ratio seems to be around two times larger…
In this talk, we discuss the SUSY-Yukawa sum rule, a relation among masses and mixing angles of the third-generation squarks which follows directly from the coupling relation responsible for canceling the quadratic divergence in the Higgs…
Effective Supersymmetry is presented as a theory of physics above the electroweak scale which has significant theoretical advantages over both the standard model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The theory is…
In the high-scale (split) MSSM, the measured Higgs mass sets an upper bound on the supersymmetric scalar mass scale MSUSY around $10^{11}$ ($10^{8}$) GeV, for $\tan\beta$ in the standard range and the central value of the top quark mass…
We present one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson masses in the MSSM with Non-Minimal Flavor Violation. The flavor violation is generated from the hypothesis of general flavor mixing in the squark mass matrices, and these are parameterized…
Flavour changing effects originating from the exchange of scalar particles in the processes e^+ e^- -> H b \bar{s}, H \bar{b} s, with H = h^0, H^0, A^0, are investigated in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with non-minimal flavour…
We propose the rare SM Higgs decay $H\to b\bar b b\bar b$ as a probe of the structure of Higgs interactions with bottom quarks and gauge bosons, and as a baseline for searches for new physics producing four-bottom final states in Higgs…
