Description
Although SUSY is less natural than hoped, it is still able to explain several correlations beyond the standard model. A persistently appealing feature of supersymmetry is that it leads to gauge coupling unification, which suggests that the forces unify. For even minimal supersymmetric SU(5) unification, there are previously unexplored avenues. I will focus on the effect of pushing the boundary scale of supersymmetric models beyond the GUT scale in the context of minimal SU(5) unification. If right-handed neutrinos are included in these models, CP and flavor violation in the low-scale is unavoidable and could be seen in future experiments looking for EDM’s and mu-> e gamma. For pure gravity mediation models, including higher dimensional operators can lead to dimension-six proton decay visible at Hyper-Kamiokande and to new possible dark matter candidates.
