1 New Physics from Type IIA Quivers The string vacuum Tadpoles and extended MSSM quivers New matter and Z s Axigluons from type IIa quivers M. Cvetič, J. Halverson, PL: Implications of String Constraints for Exotic Matter and Z s Beyond the Standard Model Axigluons in type IIa string theory Madison (August, 011)

2 The String Vacuum String vacuum enormously complicated Many points not consistent with what we know (but multiverse?) Goal 1: obtaining the MSSM Possibilities for SUSY breaking/mediation, µ, Bµ, R P, Goal : beyond (instead of) MSSM paradigm (don t prejudge TeV) (just) MSSM is not required by experimental data Many string constructions involve TeV-scale remnants or mechanisms beyond the MSSM (may be hint) Goal : mapping of string-likely or unlikely classes of new physics and mechanisms (and contrast with field theory) Madison (August, 011)

6 Tadpoles and Extended MSSM Quivers Implications of String Constraints for Exotic Matter and Z s Beyond the Standard Model (M. Cvetič, J. Halverson, PL) Intersecting brane type IIA constructions (and others): tadpole cancellation conditions stronger than anomaly cancellation in augmented field theory (FT with anomalous U(1) s and Chern-Simons terms) U(N a ) from stack of N a D branes: N a : #a #a + (N a + 4) (# a # a ) + (N a 4) (# a # a ) = 0 N a = 1 : #a #a + (N a + 4) (# a # a ) = 0 mod, SU(N a ) triangle anomaly condition for N a Stronger condition than augmented FT for N a = 1, Madison (August, 011)

7 Anomalous U(1) from trace generator of U(N) usually acquires Stuckelberg mass near string scale M s Anomalies cancelled by Chern-Simons U(1) global symmetry on (perturbative) superpotential May be broken by non-perturbative D-instantons (exponentially suppressed) Linear combination q x U(1) x may be massless, non-anomalous if q a N a (# a # a + # a # a ) + x a q x N x (#(a, x) #(a, x)) = 0, N a q a #(a) #(a) + 8(# a ) # a ) + x a q x N x (#(a, x) #(a, x)) = 0, N a = 1 Require one linear combination weak hypercharge, Y May be additional massless combinations, broken by Higgs singlet VEVs TeV-scale Z (even for M s = O(M pl )) Madison (August, 011)

8 Hypercharge embeddings for -node (U() U() U(1)) and 4- node (U() U() U(1) U(1)) quivers containing MSSM classified (Anastasopoulos, Dijkstra, Kiritsis, Schellekens) Most quivers with just MSSM chiral matter don t satisfy tadpole constraints (none for nodes with no vector pairs) Systematically add matter to MSSM quivers to satisfy tadpole and hypercharge conditions Up to 5 additional fields Don t allow purely vector pairs (typically acquire M s -scale masses) Allow quasichiral pairs (vector under MSSM; chiral under anomalous or additional non-anomalous U(1) s) Suggestive of quasichiral types, U(1) s (often family universal tree-level neutral B s effects) H d L distinction (necessary for L and R-parity conservation) MSSM singlets (NMSSM-type, ν c L-type, or neither) Madison (August, 011)
