abstract

I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of discussion is aimed at readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and quantum field theory, but who have had little or no prior exposure to supersymmetry. Topics covered include: motivations for supersymmetry, the construction of supersymmetric Lagrangians, superspace and superfields, soft supersymmetry-breaking interactions, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), R-parity and its consequences, the origins of supersymmetry breaking, the mass spectrum of the MSSM, decays of supersymmetric particles, experimental signals for supersymmetry, and some extensions of the minimal framework.

Physical implications of a double right-handed gauge symmetry

hep-ph · 2026-01-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A double right-handed U(1) gauge extension generates the Standard Model fermion mass hierarchy at tree and loop levels and stabilizes a viable scalar singlet dark matter particle consistent with relic density and direct detection bounds.

Weak Scale Triggers in the SMEFT

hep-ph · 2025-12-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

No weak scale triggers exist in the SMEFT up to dimension six (and likely eight) that can solve the hierarchy problem far above the weak scale.

The Intrinsic and Extrinsic Hierarchy Problems

hep-ph · 2025-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The Hierarchy Problem splits into Intrinsic (RG-induced cutoff sensitivity) and Extrinsic (UV augmentation making IR theory appear finetuned) versions, with the latter formalized as a paradox whose solutions are classified by premise violations.

Gravitational Waves from Matter Perturbations of Spectator Scalar Fields

hep-ph · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A spectator scalar field with strong portal coupling to the inflaton sources a stochastic gravitational wave background reaching Ω_GW h² ∼ 10^{-11} at frequencies 10^7-10^8 Hz for benchmark parameters σ/λ ≃ 10^4 and T_reh = 2×10^{14} GeV.

Reality-constrained Minimal Yukawa Structure in SO(10) GUT

hep-ph · 2026-04-05 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Corrected reality conditions on the 10 and 120 Higgs representations in minimal SO(10) allow the Yukawa sector to fit all fermion masses and mixings while predicting a hierarchical right-handed neutrino spectrum and proton decay modes testable in upcoming experiments.

Dark Matter

hep-ph · 2024-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

A review summarizing current observational, experimental, and theoretical results on dark matter.
