Beyond the MSSM Even if supersymmetry holds, MSSM may not be the full story Most of the problems of standard model remain (hierarchy of electroweak and Planck scales is stabilized but not explained) µ problem introduced: W µ = µĥ u Ĥ d, µ = O(electroweak) Could be that all new physics is at GUT/Planck scale, but with remnants surviving to TeV scale Specific string constructions often have extended gauge groups, exotics, extended Higgs/neutralino sectors Important to explore alternatives/extensions to MSSM

Z or other gauge Remnants Physics from the Top-Down Extended Higgs/neutralino (doublet, singlet) Quasi-Chiral Exotics Charge / (Confinement?, Stable relic?) Quasi-hidden (Strong coupling? SUSY breaking? Composite family?) Time varying couplings LED (TeV black holes, stringy resonances) LIV, VEP (e.g., maximum speeds, decays, (oscillations) of HE γ, e, gravity waves (ν s))

A TeV-Scale Z Strings, GUTs, DSB, little Higgs, LED often involve extra Z Typically M Z > 6 9 GeV (Tevatron, LEP, WNC); θ Z Z < few 3 (Z-pole) (CDF di-electron: 85 (Z seq ), 74 (Z χ ), 75 (Z ψ ), 745 (Z η )) Discovery to M Z 5 8 TeV at LHC, ILC, (pp e + e, µ + µ, q q) (depends on couplings, exotics, sparticles) Diagnostics to - TeV (asymmetries, y distributions, associated production, rare decays)

String models Extra U() and SM singlets extremely common Radiative breaking of electroweak (SUGRA or gauge mediated) often yield EW/TeV scale Z (unless breaking along flat direction intermediate scale) Breaking due to negative mass for scalar S (driven by large Yukawa) or by A term

Extended neutralino sector Additional neutralinos, non-standard couplings, e.g., light singlino-dominated, extended cascades Enhanced possibilities for cold dark matter, g µ (even small tan β) Exotics (anomaly-cancellation) May decay by mixing; by diquark or leptoquark coupling; or be quasi-stable Z decays into sparticles/exotics Constraints on neutrino mass generation Flavor changing neutral currents (for non-universal U() charges) Tree-level effects in B decay competing with SM loops (or with enhanced loops in MSSM with large tan β)

Extended Higgs Sector Standard model singlets S i and additional doublet pairs H u,d very common. Additional doublet pairs Richer spectrum, decay possibilities May be needed (or expand possibiities for) quark/lepton masses/mixings (e.g., stringy symmetries may restrict single Higgs couplings to one or two families) Extra neutral Higgs FCNC (suppressed by Yukawas) Significantly modify gauge unification

Quasi-Chiral Exotics (J. Kang, PL, B. Nelson, in progress) Often find exotic (wrt SU() U()) quarks or leptons at TeV scale Assume non-chiral wrt SM gauge group (strong constraints from precision EW, expecially on extra or mirror families) Can be chiral wrt extra U() s or other extended gauge Usually needed for U() anomaly cancellation Modify gauge unification unless in complete GUT multiplets Can also be more extreme exotics (e.g., adjoints, symmetric, fractional charge, mixed quasi-hidden) Experimental limits relatively weak

Examples in 7-plet of E 6 D L + D R (SU() singlets, chiral wrt U() ) ( ) ( ) E E E + E (SU() doublets, chiral wrt U() ) L R Pair produce D + D by QCD processes (smaller rate for exotic leptons) D or D decay by D u i W, D d i Z, D d i H if driven by D d mixing (not in minimal E 6 ; FCNC) m D > GeV (future: TeV) D quark jets if driven by diquark operator ūū D, or quark jet + lepton for leptoquark operator lq D (still have stable LSP) May be stable at renormalizable level due to accidental symmetry (e.g., from extended gauge group) hadronizes and escapes or stops in detector (Quasi-stable from HDO τ < / yr)

Neutrino Mass Nonzero mass may be first break with standard model Enormous theoretical effort: GUT, family symmetries, bottom up Majorana masses may be favored because not forbidden by SM gauge symmetries GUT (+ family symmetry) seesaw (heavy Majorana singlet). Usually ordinary hierarchy.

Relatively little work from string constructions, even though may be Planck scale effect Key ingredients of most bottom up models forbidden in known constructions (heterotic or intersecting brane) (Due to string symmetries or constraints, not simplicity or elegance) Right-handed neutrinos may not be gauge singlets Large representations difficult to achieve (bifundamentals, singlets, or adjoints) GUT Yukawa relations broken String symmetries/constraints severely restrict couplings, e.g., Majorana masses, or simultaneous Dirac and Majorana masses

Neutrino Mass in Strings Dirac masses Can achieve small Dirac masses (neutrino or other) by higher dimensional operators or by large intersection areas L ν ( S M P l ) p LN c L H, S M P l m D ( S M P l ) p H Large p S close to M P l (e.g., anomalous U() A ) Small p intermediate scale M P l Similar HDO may give light steriles and ordinary/sterile mixing

Majorana masses Existing intersecting brane models: conserved L; no diagonal (Majorana) triangles Heterotic: can one generate large effective m S from S q+ S q+ W ν c ij N i N j (m S ) ij c ij, M q P l consistent with D and F flatness? M q P l Can one have such terms simultaneously with Dirac couplings, consistent with flatness and other constraints? Are bottom-up model assumptions for relations to quark, charged lepton masses maintained?

The Z 3 Heterotic Orbifold (Giedt, Kane, PL, Nelson, hep-th/53) Systematically studied large class of vacua Is minimal seesaw common? If rare, possibly guidance to model building Clues to textures, etc. Several models from each of patterns; superpotential through degree 9; huge number of D flat directions reduced greatly by F -flatness Only two patterns had Majorana mass operators S S n NN/M n 3 PL None had simultaneous Dirac operators S S d 3 NLH u/m d 3 PL leading to m > ev (one apparent model ruined by offdiagonal Majorana)

Feature of Z 3 orbifold? Or more general? Systematic searches in other constructions important (Is seesaw generic? Rare? Alternatives?) Alternatives: Small Dirac? (by HDO (common in constructions) or LED) Extended seesaw? m ν m +k /M +k, with k (TeV scale physics?) Loops, R P breaking? (TeV physics) Higgs triplet? (higher Kač-Moody or intersecting brane) D Higher Kač-Moody embedding in heterotic string (PL, B. Nelson, hep-ph/5763) Inverted hierarchy with bimaximal mixing Solar mixing non-maximal small (Cabibbo-like) charged lepton mixing U e3 close to Chooz limit

Conclusions Combination of theoretical ideas and new experimental facilities may allow testable theory to Planck scale From the bottom up: there may be more at TeV scale than (minimal SUGRA) MSSM (e.g., Z, extended Higgs/neutralino, quasichiral exotics) From the top down: there may be more at TeV scale than (minimal SUGRA) MSSM Dynamical µ term leads to very rich Higgs/neutralino physics at colliders and for cosmology Consider alternatives to the minimal seesaw
