Renormalization of Supersymmetric Theories
Damien M. Pierce
We review the renormalization of the electroweak sector of the standard model. The derivation also applies to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We discuss regularization a…
The Strong Coupling Constant in Grand Unified Theories
Damien M. Pierce
The prediction of the strong coupling constant in grand unified theories is reviewed, first in the standard model, then in the supersymmetric version. Various corrections are consi…
The Strong Coupling and the Bottom Mass in Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories
Damien Pierce
We apply the full one-loop corrections to the masses, gauge couplings, and Yukawa couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We focus on predictions for the strong cou…
Precise Predictions for the Masses and Couplings in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
Jonathan Bagger, Konstantin Matchev, Damien Pierce
We present selected results of our program to determine the masses, gauge couplings, and Yukawa couplings of the minimal supersymmetric model in a full one-loop calculation. We foc…
Weak Scale Threshold Corrections in Supersymmetric Models
Damien Pierce
I discuss the weak scale threshold corrections in supersymmetric models. I describe the ``match and run" approximation to the threshold corrections and compare with the exact one-l…
