Seminar
Supersymmetry, the Higgs Mass and String Theory
Prof Luis Ibanez
Autonomous University of Madrid
28 November 2013 (Monday)
5:15 pm
Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST
Abstract:
The speaker discusses some implications of the measured value of the Higgs mass observed at CERN for the supersymmetric
Standard Model. He points out that the measured value may be a hint for a very large scale of SUSY breaking, above 1010 GeV.
He also discusses how such a large value of the SUSY breaking scale is common in large classes of string compactifications consistent with an underlying SU5) unification symmetry. A delicate fine-tuning of the Higgs mass parameters is required which could be motivated in the context of a large landscape of string vacua.
The seminar is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Seating is on a first-come first-served basis.
