## TL;DR

This paper discusses how measuring gaugino masses at the LHC can serve as a robust test for supersymmetric Grand Unification theories, linking experimental data with theoretical predictions.

## Contribution

It highlights the potential of gaugino mass measurements as a key crosscheck for grand unification, emphasizing their robustness and relation to gauge couplings.

## Key findings

- Gaugino mass predictions are robust and model-independent.
- Gaugino masses are related to gauge coupling constants.
- Crosschecking gaugino masses can test unification schemes.

## Abstract

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might test the picture of supersymmetric Grand Unification in particle physics. We argue that the identification of gaugino masses is the most promising step in this direction. Mass predictions for gauginos are pretty robust and often related to the values of the gauge couplings constants. They might allow a meaningful crosscheck for grand unification, at least in simple schemes like gravity, anomaly or mirage mediation.
