Relating Incomplete Data and Incomplete Theory
Pierre Binetruy, G. L. Kane, Brent D. Nelson +3
Assuming string theorists will not soon provide a compelling case for the primary theory underlying particle physics, the field will proceed as it has historically: with data stimu…
Direct and Indirect Detection of Dark Matter in Heterotic Orbifold Models
Pierre Binetruy, Yann Mambrini, Emmanuel Nezri
We study the neutralino dark matter phenomenology in the context of effective field theories derived from the weakly--coupled heterotic string. We consider in particular direct det…
Phenomenological Aspects of Heterotic Orbifold Models at One Loop
Pierre Binetruy, Andreas Birkedal-Hansen, Yann Mambrini +1
We provide a detailed study of the phenomenology of orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string within the context of supergravity effective theories. Our investigation focu…
One Loop Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Terms in Superstring Effective Theories
Pierre Binetruy, Mary K. Gaillard, Brent D. Nelson
We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the one loop level in a large class of string effective field theories. This includes the so-called anomaly…
Cosmological constant vs. quintessence
Pierre Binetruy
There is some evidence that the Universe is presently undergoing accelerating expansion. This has restored some credit to the scenarios with a non-vanishing cosmological constant.…
Models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking and quintessence
Pierre Binetruy
We study several models of relevance for the dynamical breaking of supersymmetry which could provide a scalar component with equation of state , . Such models would p…
