Spontaneous SUSY breaking in natural SO(10) grand unified theory

TL;DR

This paper presents a grand unified theory where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken within the visible sector, predicting high-scale SUSY and distinctive sfermion mass spectra that could be observed at the LHC.

Contribution

It introduces a minimal extension of a GUT model that achieves spontaneous SUSY breaking without a hidden sector, predicting observable signatures.

Findings

Sfermion masses of 100-1000 TeV consistent with SU(5) unification

Prediction of a superheavy long-lived charged lepton detectable at LHC

Suppression of flavor violating processes in the model

Abstract

We propose a simple grand unified theory (GUT) scenario in which supersymmetry (SUSY) is spontaneously broken in visible sector. Our model is based on the GUT model that has been proposed to solve almost all problems in conventional GUT scenarios. In the previous work, the problems can be solved by a natural assumption in a supersymmetric vacuum. In this paper, we consider an extension of the model (i.e. omitting one singlet field) and break SUSY spontaneously without new sector. Our model does not have hidden sector and predicts high-scale SUSY where sfermion masses are of order 100-1000 TeV and flavor violating processes are suppressed. In this scenario, we can see an explicit signature of GUT in sfermion mass spectrum since the sfermion mass spectrum respects SU(5) matter unification. In addition, we find a superheavy long lived charged lepton as a proof of our scenario, and it may be seen in the LHC.
