An Improved Supersymmetric SU(5)

Abstract

By supplementing minimal supersymmetric SU(5) (MSSU(5)) with a flavor $\mathcal{U}(1)$ symmetry and two pairs of $\overline{15}+15$ `matter' supermultiplets, we present an improved model which explains the charged fermion mass hierarchies and the magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements, while avoiding the undesirable asymptotic mass relations $m_s=m_{\mu },m_d/m_s=m_e/m_{\mu }$. The strong coupling ${\alpha }_s(M_Z)$ is predicted to be approximately 0.115, and the proton lifetime is estimated to be about five times larger than the MSSU(5) value. The atmospheric and solar neutrino puzzles are respectively resolved via maximal ${\nu }_{\mu }-{\nu }_{\tau }$ and small mixing angle ${\nu }_e-{\nu }_s$ MSW oscillations, where ${\nu }_s$ denotes a sterile neutrino. The $\mathcal{U}(1)$ symmetry ensures not only a light ${\nu }_s$ but also automatic `matter' parity.
