Characteristic examples are presented of scenarios of particle production and decay in supersymmetry models in which the supersymmetry breaking is transmitted to the observable world via gauge interactions. The cases are chosen to…
If the parameter $tan \beta$ of the minimal supersymmetric model is large, then $b$ and $\tau$ Yukawa interactions are important. These can significantly modify the masses and decays of sparticles. We describe new calculations which allow a…
For large values of the minimal supergravity model parameter $\tan\beta$, the tau lepton and the bottom quark Yukawa couplings become large, leading to reduced masses of $\tau$-sleptons and $b$-squarks relative to their first and second…
We survey strategies generally employed for SUSY discovery at colliders and then discuss how these may have to be altered for SUSY searches at the Tevatron if $\tan\beta$ is large. We also discuss the reach of the Tevatron and the LHC in…
We study the dependence on $\tan\beta$ of the event kinematics of final states with $e^+e^- /\mu^+\mu^- /e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp} + E_T^{\rm miss} + jets$, as expected in $pp$ collisions at CERN LHC, within the framework of the minimal supergravity…
If tan(beta) is large, down-type quark mass matrices and Yukawa couplings cannot be simultaneously diagonalized, and flavour violating couplings of the neutral Higgs bosons are induced at the 1-loop level. These couplings lead to…
Supersymmetry is perhaps most effectively probed at the Tevatron through production and decay of weak gauginos. Most of the analyses of weak gaugino observables require electrons or muons in the final state. However, it is possible that the…
The existence of large \nu_\mu-\nu_\tau mixing suggests the likelihood of large smuon-stau mixing in supersymmetric models, leading to \mu and \tau number violation. In addition to interesting signatures in slepton and neutralino production…
The presence of tau leptons in the final state is an important signature in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. Hadronically decaying tau leptons can be reconstructed over a wide kinematic range at ATLAS. The reconstruction…
Sufficient conditions for the relation $tan \beta \simeq m_t/m_b$ to hold in supersymmetric grand unified theories are formulated. Essential ingredients are the $SU(2)_R$ gauge symmetry and a discrete matter parity. The applicability of our…
By considering the constraints from nucleon decay we obtain upper limits on tan beta in generalized supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We find that the predicted values of tan beta in…
We study phenomenological aspects of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories with non-universal gaugino masses. For large tan beta, we investigate constraints from the requirement of successful electroweak symmetry breaking, the…
We consider the case where supersymmetry with broken R-parity is embedded in the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). This alters the standard mSUGRA spectrum and opens a wide range in parameter space, where the scalar tau is the lightest…
The discovery of supersymmetry is one of the major goals of the current experiments at the Tevatron and in proposed experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However when sparticles are produced the signatures of their production will…
Supersymmetry (SUSY) with a long-lived stau is an attractive scenario in the LHC experiments because one can directly observe stau tracks in each SUSY event, and thus precise measurements of SUSY particle masses are possible. In this…
Using the example of selected decays driven by R-parity-violating supersymmetric operators, we demonstrate how strong final-state interactions can be controlled quantitatively with high precision, thus allowing for a more accurate…
We study the inclusive semileptonic rare decay $b \to s l^+ l^-$ in minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). If tan$\beta$ is large, down-type quark mass matrices and their Yukawa couplings cannot be diagonalized at the same basis. This induces…

In supersymmetry with large tan(beta) the decays B0(B0bar) -> l+l- are dominated by the scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs penguin diagrams leading to strong enhancement of leptonic decay rates with potentially large CP asymmetries in the…
In the minimal SUGRA model the lighter tau slepton is expected to be the second lightest superparticle over a large parameter range at large $\tan\beta$. Consequently one expects a viable SUGRA signal at LHC in the tau lepton channel coming…
