6supersymmetry will be accomplished in Sec. 3d. In the following subsection it will be shown
that this Lagrangian also leads to the cancellation of quadratic divergencies from one–loop gauge
contributions to the Higgs two–point function π
φφ(0), thereby extending the result of the previous
section. Finally, soft SUSY breaking is treated in Sec. 3f.
Many excellent reviews of and introductions to the material covered here already exist [6, 7]; I
will therefore be quite brief. My notation will mostly follow that of Nilles [7].
3a. The SUSY Algebra
We saw in Sec. 2 how contributions to the Higgs two–point function π
φφ(0) coming from the known
SM fermions can be cancelled exactly, if we introduce new bosonic fields with judiciously chosen
couplings. This strongly indicates that a new symmetry is at work here, which can protect the
Higgs mass from large (quadratically divergent) radiative corrections, something that the SM is
unable to do.
2We are thus looking for a symmetry that can enforce eqs.(7) and (10) (as well
as their generalizations to gauge interactions). In particular, we need equal numbers of physical
(propagating) bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom, eq.(7a). In addition, we need relations
between various terms in the Lagrangian involving different combinations of bosonic and fermionic
fields, eqs.(7b) and (10).
It is quite clear from these considerations that the symmetry we are looking for must connect
bosons and fermions. In other words, the generators Q of this symmetry must turn a bosonic state
into a fermionic one, and vice versa. This in turn implies that the generators themselves carry
half–integer spin, i.e. are fermionic. This is to be contrasted with the generators of the Lorentz
group, or with gauge group generators, all of which are bosonic. In order to emphasize the new
quality of this new symmetry, which mixes bosons and fermions, it is called supersymmetry (SUSY).
The simplest choice of SUSY generators is a 2–component (Weyl) spinor Q and its conjugate
Q. Since these generators are fermionic, their algebra can most easily be written in terms of anti–
commutators:
{Q
α, Q
β} =
!Q
α˙, Q
β˙ "= 0;
(12a)
!Q
α, Q
β˙ "= 2σ
α ˙µβP
µ;
[Q
α, P
µ] = 0.
(12b)
Here the indices α, β of Q and ˙α, ˙
β of Q take values 1 or 2, σ
µ= (1, σ
i) with σ
ibeing the Pauli
matrices, and P
µis the translation generator (momentum); it must appear in eq.(12b) for the SUSY
algebra to be consistent with Lorentz covariance [10].
For a compact description of SUSY transformations, it will prove convenient to introduce
“fermionic coordinates” θ, θ. These are anti–commuting, “Grassmann” variables:
{θ, θ} =
!θ, θ
"=
!θ, θ
"= 0.
(13)
A “finite” SUSY transformation can then be written as exp
#i(θQ + Qθ − x
µP
µ)
$
; this is to be
compared with a non–abelian gauge transformation exp (iϕ
aT
a), with T
abeing the group generators.
2In principle one can cancel the one–loop quadratic divergencies in the SM without introducing new fields, by
explicitly cancelling bosonic and fermionic contributions; this leads to a relation between the Higgs and top masses [8]. However, such a cancellation would be purely “accidental”, not enforced by a symmetry. It is therefore not surprising that this kind of cancellation cannot be achieved once corrections from two or more loops are included [9].

dfermion) pair is also proportional to the weak hypercharge Y as given in Table 1.1. The interactions shown in Figure 5.3 provide, for example, for decays q! → qg and! q! → W q" ! and q! → Bq when the final! states are kinematically allowed to be on-shell. However, a complication is that the W and" B states! are not mass eigenstates, because of splitting and mixing due to electroweak symmetry breaking, as we will see in section 7.2.
There are also various scalar quartic interactions in the MSSM that are uniquely determined by gauge invariance and supersymmetry, according to the last term in eq. (3.75), as illustrated in Fig-ure 3.3i. Among them are (Higgs)4 terms proportional to g2 and g!2 in the scalar potential. These are the direct generalization of the last term in the Standard Model Higgs potential, eq. (1.1), to the case of the MSSM. We will have occasion to identify them explicitly when we discuss the minimization of the MSSM Higgs potential in section 7.1.
The dimensionful couplings in the supersymmetric part of the MSSM Lagrangian are all dependent on µ. Using the general result of eq. (3.51), µ provides for higgsino fermion mass terms
− Lhiggsino mass = µ(H!u+H!d− − H!u0H!d0) + c.c., (5.4) as well as Higgs squared-mass terms in the scalar potential
− Lsupersymmetric Higgs mass = |µ|2(|Hu0|2 + |Hu+|2 + |Hd0|2 + |Hd−|2). (5.5) Since eq. (5.5) is non-negative with a minimum at Hu0 = Hd0 = 0, we cannot understand electroweak symmetry breaking without including a negative supersymmetry-breaking squared-mass soft term for the Higgs scalars. An explicit treatment of the Higgs scalar potential will therefore have to wait until we have introduced the soft terms for the MSSM. However, we can already see a puzzle: we expect that µ should be roughly of order 102 or 103 GeV, in order to allow a Higgs VEV of order 174 GeV without too much miraculous cancellation between |µ|2 and the negative soft squared-mass terms that we have not written down yet. But why should |µ|2 be so small compared to, say, MP2, and in particular why should it be roughly of the same order as m2soft? The scalar potential of the MSSM seems to depend on two types of dimensionful parameters that are conceptually quite distinct, namely the supersymmetry-respecting mass µ and the supersymmetry-breaking soft mass terms. Yet the observed value for the electroweak breaking scale suggests that without miraculous cancellations, both of these apparently unrelated mass scales should be within an order of magnitude or so of 100 GeV. This puzzle is called “the µ problem”. Several different solutions to the µ problem have been proposed, involving extensions of the MSSM of varying intricacy. They all work in roughly the same way; the µ term is required or assumed to be absent at tree-level before symmetry breaking, and then it arises from the VEV(s) of some new field(s). These VEVs are in turn determined by minimizing a potential that depends on soft supersymmetry-breaking terms. In this way, the value of the effective parameter µ is no longer conceptually distinct from the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking; if we can explain why msoft # MP, we will also be able to understand why µ is of the same order. In section 10.2 we will study one such mechanism. Some other attractive solutions for the µ problem are proposed in refs. [57]-[59]. From the point of view of the MSSM, however, we can just treat µ as an independent parameter.
The µ-term and the Yukawa couplings in the superpotential eq. (5.1) combine to yield (scalar)3 couplings [see the second and third terms on the right-hand side of eq. (3.50)] of the form
Lsupersymmetric (scalar)3 = µ∗(uy! uuH! d0∗ + dy! ddH! u0∗ + !eyeeH! u0∗
+uy! udH! d−∗ + dy! duH! u+∗ + !eyeνH! u+∗) + c.c. (5.6) Figure 5.4 shows some of these couplings, proportional to µ∗yt, µ∗yb, and µ∗yτ respectively. These play an important role in determining the mixing of top squarks, bottom squarks, and tau sleptons, as we will see in section 7.4.

[Errors presently extrapolated from SPS1a simulations.]
While the picture so far had been based on evaluat-ing the experimental observables channel by channel, global analysis programs have become available [67, 68] in which the whole set of data, masses, cross sec-tions, branching ratios, etc. is exploited coherently to extract the Lagrangian parameters in the optimal way after including the available radiative corrections for masses and cross sections. With increasing numbers of observables the analyses can be expanded and refined in a systematic way. The present quality of such an
analysis [68] can be judged from the results shown in Table 7. These errors are purely experimental and do not include the theoretical counterpart which must be improved considerably before matching the experimen-tal standards.
Extrapolation to the GUT scale
Based on the parameters extracted at the scale ˜M , we can approach the reconstruction of the fundamental su-persymmetric theory and the related microscopic pic-ture of the mechanism breaking supersymmetry. The experimental information is exploited to the maximum extent possible in the bottom-up approach [12] in which the extrapolation from ˜M to the GUT/Planck scale is performed by the renormalization group evolution for all parameters, with the GUT scale defined by the unification point of the two electroweak couplings. In this approach the calculation of loops and β functions governing the extrapolation to the high scale is based on nothing but experimentally measured parameters. Typical examples for the evolution of the gaugino and scalar mass parameters are presented in Fig. 1. While the determination of the high-scale parameters in the gaugino/higgsino sector, as well as in the non-colored slepton sector, is very precise, the picture of the col-ored scalar and Higgs sectors is still coarse, and strong efforts should be made to refine it considerably.
On the other hand, if the structure of the theory at the high scale was known a priori and merely the ex-perimental determination of the high-scale parameters were lacking, then the top-down approach would lead to a very precise parametric picture at the high scale. This is apparent from the fit of the mSUGRA parame-ters in SPS1a! displayed in Table 8 [67]. A high-quality fit of the parameters is a necessary condition, of course,

If N!1 is mostly higgsino or mostly wino, then the the annihilation diagram fig. 9.13c and the
co-annihilation mechanisms provided by fig. 9.14 are typically much too efficient [271, 272, 273] to provide the full required cold dark matter density, unless the LSP is very heavy, of order 1 TeV or more. This is often considered to be somewhat at odds with the idea that supersymmetry is the solution to the hierarchy problem. However, for lighter higgsino-like or wino-like LSPs, non-thermal mechanisms can be invoked to provide the right dark matter abundance [176, 274].
A recurring feature of many models of supersymmetry breaking is that the lightest neutralino is mostly bino. It turns out that in much of the parameter space not already ruled out by LEP with a bino-like N!1, the predicted relic density is too high, either because the LSP couplings are too small, or
the sparticles are too heavy, or both, leading to an annihilation cross-section that is too low. To avoid this, there must be significant contributions to !σv". The possibilities can be classified qualitatively in terms of the diagrams that contribute most strongly to the annihilation.
First, if at least one sfermion is not too heavy, the diagram of fig. 9.13a is effective in reducing the dark matter density. In models with a bino-like N!1, the most important such contribution usually
comes from e!R, µ!R, and τ!1 slepton exchange. The region of parameter space where this works out right
is often referred to by the jargon “bulk region”, because it corresponded to the main allowed region with dark matter density less than the critical density, before ΩDMh2 was accurately known and before
the highest energy LEP searches had happened. However, the diagram of fig. 9.13a is subject to a p-wave suppression, and so sleptons that are light enough to reduce the relic density sufficiently are, in many models, also light enough to be excluded by LEP, or correspond to light Higgs bosons that are excluded by LEP, or have difficulties with other indirect constraints.
