Supersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions
C. P. Burgess
This article summarizes the proposal to address the cosmological constant problem within the framework of supersymmetric large extra dimensions (SLED). The proposed mechanism is de…
Natural Quintessence and the Brane World
C. P. Burgess
Although quintessence models have attractive cosmological features, they face two major difficulties. First, it has not yet been possible to find one which convincingly realizes th…
A Higgs or Not a Higgs?
C. P. Burgess, J. Matias, M. Pospelov
This talk summarizes a method for analyzing the properties of any new scalar particle, which is systematic in the sense that it minimizes apriori theoretical assumptions about the…
An Ode to Effective Lagrangians
C. P. Burgess
A brief introduction is given to the methods and spirit of effective lagrangians. The emphasis is on a summary of the overall picture, using a simple model as the vehicle to motiva…
A Goldstone Boson Primer
C. P. Burgess
These lectures are an extremely condensed version of the theory of Goldstone bosons, with general features illustrated using a simple model. A more comprehensive version of these l…
Constant versus Field Dependent Gauge Couplings in Supersymmetric Theories
C. P. Burgess, A. de la Macorra, I. Maksymyk +1
We briefly discuss the differences between considering the gauge coupling as a constant or as a field, the dilaton, in N=1 supersymmetric theories. We emphasize the differences reg…
