We discuss the issue of precision gauge unification in the MSSM. We find that a comparably light gluino, as it emerges in certain patterns of soft supersymmetry breaking, can be a key ingredient for ensuring precision gauge unification…
Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unification of the corresponding gauge couplings. In this paper…
Gauge coupling unification is studied in the MSSM with non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms. If gaugino masses are sufficiently smaller than scalar soft masses and the scalar soft masses have also certain types of…
There is a convincing experimental evidence that neutrinos are massive. Therefore we investigate the influence of the neutrino masses on the unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
The physics responsible for gauge coupling unification may also induce small neutrino masses. We propose a novel gauge mediated radiative seesaw mechanism for calculable neutrino masses. These arise from quantum corrections mediated by new…
Seesaw mechanism appears to be the simplest and most appealing way to understand small neutrino masses observed in recent experiments. It introduces three right handed neutrinos with heavy masses to the standard model, with at least one…
A beautiful understanding of the smallness of the neutrino masses may be obtained via the seesaw mechanism, whereby one takes advantage of the key qualitative distinction between the neutrinos and the other fermions: right-handed neutrinos…
In the light of the gathering evidence for $\nu_{\mu}-\nu_{\tau}$ neutrino oscillations, coming in particular from the Super-Kamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos, we re-analyze the unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings within the…
The purpose of this paper is threefold: a) Check if the rather poor Standard Model (SM) fit to all electroweak data can be improved in its minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM); b) Check what constraints present electroweak data has on…
The three electroweak doublet neutrinos $\nu_{e,\mu,\tau}$ of the Standard Model may acquire small seesaw masses, using either three Majorana fermion singlets $N$ or three Majorana fermion triplets $(\Sigma^+,\Sigma^0,\Sigma^-)$. It is…
We discuss neutrino masses in the framework of a minimal extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) consisting of an additional single right-handed neutrino superfield $N$ with a heavy Majorana mass $M$, which induces a…
The results for the running of the gauge couplings in the MSSM are up-dated by proper inclusion of all low scale effects. They are presented as predictions for the strong coupling constant in the scenario with only two parameters at the GUT…
I briefly summarize the main features related to the unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings in the MSSM, emphasizing the predictions derived in this framework, which are of special interest in the light of present and near--future…
The unification of gauge couplings suggests that there is an underlying (supersymmetric) unification of the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions. The prediction of the unification scale may be the first quantitative indication that…
We argue that with the discovery of neutrino mass effects at Super-Kamiokande there is a clear logical chain leading from the Standard Model through the MSSM and the recently developed Minimal Left Right Supersymmetric models with a…
We make a detailed study of the unification of gauge couplings in the MSSM with large extra dimensions. We find some scenarios where unification can be achieved (with the strong coupling constant at the Z mass within one standard deviation…
Gauging $B-L$ symmetry provides a simple realization of the seesaw mechanism in a naturally anomaly free extension to the MSSM gauge group, $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{B-L}$. However, as we discuss in here, it turns out…
We have studied the gauge unification with the recent electroweak data as a function of the higgsino mass. It was shown that if the strong coupling constant is small $\approx 0.11$, consistent picture of gauge unification is not possible in…
The Standard Model augmented by the presence of gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos proves to be an ideal scenario for accommodating nonzero neutrino masses. Among the new parameters of this ``New Standard Model'' are right-handed neutrino…
Mechanism for generation of suppressed neutrino masses, within low scale theories, is considered. The mechanism do not have extradimensional nature and is realized through extended $SU(2)_L$ scalar multiplets. Latters, in some cases, are…
