We impose partial-wave unitarity on $2 \to 2$ tree-level scattering processes to derive constraints on the dimensions of large scalar and fermionic multiplets of arbitrary gauge groups. We apply our results to scalar and fermionic…
We present an analytical calculation of additional real or virtual radiation of the light fermion pair in the fermionic decay of the Higgs boson $ H \to f_1\bar f_1$ for arbitrary ratios of the Higgs boson mass to the $f_1$ fermion mass.…
The supersymmetric SO(10) GUT based on the ${\bf{210\oplus 10\oplus 120\oplus 126\oplus {\bar {126}}}}$ Higgs system provides a minimal framework for the emergence of the R-parity exact MSSM at low energies and a viable supersymmetric…
We consider radiative corrections to the decay rate $\Gamma(H\rightarrow ZZ)$ of the heavy {\it CP}-even Higgs boson of the minimal supersymmetric model to two $Z$ bosons. We perform a one loop Feynman diagram calculation in the…
The non-observation of supersymmetric signatures in searches at the Large Hadron Collider strongly constrains minimal supersymmetric models like the CMSSM. We explore the consequences on the SUSY particle spectrum in a minimal SO(10) with…
We compute O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the lepton invariant mass spectrum in the decay b --> u l nu_l, relevant for the determination of the CKM matrix element |V_{ub}|. Our method can also be used to evaluate moments of the lepton…
We update the electroweak study of the predictions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) including the recent results on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the weak boson masses, and the final precision data on the Z boson…
We calculate the pole mass of the gluino as a function of the running parameters in the lagrangian, to O(alpha_s^2) in SUSY QCD. The correction shifts the pole mass from the running mass by typically 1-2 %. This shift can be larger than the…
We analyze CP asymmetries of B \to \phi K_S and B \to \eta' K_S in a supersymmetric grand unified theory in which only the third generation sfermions contained in 10(Q, U^c, E^c) of SU(5) can have a different mass from the others. One of…
We calculate the range corrections to S-wave neutron-deuteron scattering in the doublet channel (S=1/2) to first order in r/a where a is the scattering length and r the effective range. Ultraviolet divergences appearing at this order can be…
The inclusive spectra of radiative and semi-leptonic B-meson decays near the endpoint is computed taking into account renormalons in the Sudakov exponent (Dressed Gluon Exponentiation). In this framework we demonstrate the factorization of…
We evaluate the SUSY and top threshold effects in the context of the MSSM and the string derived model based on SU(4)$\times$SU(2)$_L\times$SU(2)$_R$. In both cases we run the two loop RGEs and determine the lower bounds of the…
Following up on our earlier work where we showed how to amend a scheme originally proposed by M. Gell-Mann to identify the 48 spin 1/2 fermions of N=8 supergravity that remain after complete breaking of N=8 supersymmetry with the 3x16…
We calculate the supersymmetric QCD corrections in order $\alpha_s$ to the decays $\squark_i \to q' \chargino_j$ (i,j = 1,2) and $\squark_i \to q \neutralino_k$ (k = 1,...4) within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In particular we…
We consider the high energy behaviour of the amplitudes for pair production of charged leptons, quarks, Higgs bosons, sleptons, squarks and charginos at lepton colliders. We give the general expressions of the leading quadratic and…
We remark that the precision of recent determinations of $\alpha_s(M^2_Z)$ is such that one can get bounds on supersymmetric partner masses (squark and gluino) by requiring consistency of determinations of $\alpha_s$ at "low" energies,…
Grand unification of gauge couplings and fermionic representations remains an appealing proposal to explain the seemingly coincidental structure of the Standard Model. However, to realise the Standard Model at low energies, the unified…
New heavy particles in an SU(2)_L multiplet, sometimes introduced in extensions of the standard model, have highly degenerate tree-level mass M if their couplings to the Higgs bosons are very small or forbidden. However, loop corrections…
We give examples of minimal extensions of the simplest SU(5) SUSY-GUT in which all squarks and sleptons of a family have different tree level masses at the unification scale. This phenomenon is general; it occurs when the quarks and leptons…
