The constraints on the minimal supergravity model from the b->s+\gamma decay are studied. A large domain in the parameter space for the model satisfies the CLEO bound, BR(b->s+\gamma)<5.4X10^{-4}. However, the allowed domain is expected to…
While it is often stated that the notion of electroweak (EW) naturalness in supersymmetric models is subjective, fuzzy and model-dependent, here we argue the contrary: electroweak naturalness can be elevated to a {\it principle} which is…
We present a renormalizable model of electroweak interactions containing an extra $SU(2)'_L\otimes SU(2)'_R$ symmetry. The masses of the corresponding gauge bosons and of the associated Higgs particles can be made heavy by tuning a…
We propose low energy 6-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(6) models on $M^4\times T^2/(Z_2)^3$ and $M^4\times T^2/(Z_2)^4$, where the orbifold $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)$ model can be embedded on the boundary 4-brane. For the zero modes, the…
We examine the cross sections for the elastic scattering of neutralinos $\chi$ on nucleons $p,n$, as functions of $m_\chi$ in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find narrow bands of possible values of the cross…
We construct an explicit 5-dimensional supergravity model that realizes the "no scale" mechanism for supersymmetry breaking with no unstable moduli. Supersymmetry is broken by a constant superpotential localized on a brane, and the radion…
Noscale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking model is investigated in the minimal extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with a gauged U(1)_{B-L} symmetry. We specifically consider a unification-inspired model with the gauge…
We have studied the reconstruction of supersymmetric theories at high scales by evolving the fundamental parameters from the electroweak scale upwards. Universal minimal supergravity and gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking have been taken…
We show that the SU(3) little Higgs model has a region of parameter space in which electroweak symmetry breaking is natural and in which corrections to precision electroweak observables are sufficiently small. The model is anomaly free,…
We study the Higgs potential in No-Scale F-SU(5), a model built on the tripodal foundations of the Flipped SU(5) x U(1)_X Grand Unified Theory, extra F-theory derived TeV scale vector-like particle multiplets, and the high scale boundary…

A complete phenomenological study of the next-to-lightest neutralino decays is performed in the MSSM. The widths and branching ratios for all the possible decay channels (including the radiative decay X0(2) --> X0(1) gamma and the decay…
We examine arguments that could avoid light superpartners as an implication of supersymmetric radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. We argue that, from the point of view of string theory and standard approaches to generating the mu-term,…
I first emphasize the importance of searching for nucleon decay in the context of supersymmetric models. The status of minimal SUSY SU(5) model is reviewed, which can be definitively ruled out by a combination of superKamiokande and LEP-2…
We investigate models of supersymmetric grand unification based on the gauge group SU(5). We consider models with non-universal gaugino masses and confront them with low energy constraints, including the Higgs boson mass and the Dark Matter…
In the context of low-energy Supersymmetry, a model of Grand Unification with right-handed neutrinos, based on the group SU(5), is discussed and its implications for neutralino dark matter (DM) are studied and compared with the constrained…
We consider a minimal model where the Higgs boson arises as an elementary pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. The model is based on an extended scalar sector with global SO(5)/SO(4) symmetry. To achieve the correct electroweak symmetry breaking…
An electroweak model of SU(3) $\times$ U(1) gauge group is studied. {}From the group theoretical constraint, the symmetry breaking of this model to the standard model occurs at 1.7~TeV or lower. Hence the mass of the new neutral gauge boson…
We analyse the shifted hybrid inflation in a no-scale SU(5) model with supersymmetry, which naturally circumvents the monopole problem. The no-scale framework is derivable as the effective field theory of the supersymmetric (SUSY)…
We elaborate on a recently proposed mechanism to suppress large contributions to the electroweak precision observables in five dimensional (5D) warped models, without the need for an extended 5D gauge sector. The main ingredient is a…
