Neutron And Electron Electric Dipole Moment In N=1 Supergravity Unification, Tarek Ibrahim, Pran Nath Apr 2012

Neutron And Electron Electric Dipole Moment In N=1 Supergravity Unification, Tarek Ibrahim, Pran Nath

Pran Nath

An analysis of the neutron EDM and of the electron EDM in minimal N=1 supergravity unification with two CP-violating phases is given. For the neutron the analysis includes the complete one loop gluino, chargino, and neutralino exchange diagrams for the electric dipole and the chromoelectric dipole operators, and also the contribution of the purely gluonic dimension-six operator. It is shown that there exist significant regions in the six-dimensional parameter space of the model where cancellations between the gluino and the chargino exchanges reduce the electric and the chromoelectric contributions, and further cancellations among the electric, the chromoelectric, and the purely …

Gluino Nlsp, Dark Matter Via Gluino Coannihilation, And Lhc Signatures, Daniel Feldman, Zuowei Liu, Pran Nath

Pran Nath

The possibility that the gluino is the next to the lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) is discussed and it is shown that this situation arises in nonuniversal supergravity models within a significant part of the parameter space compatible with all known experimental bounds. It is then shown that the gluino NLSP (GNLSP) models lead to a compressed sfermion spectrum with the sleptons often heavier than the squarks at least for the first two generations. The relic density here is governed by gluino coannihilation which is responsible for a relatively small mass splitting between the gluino and the neutralino masses. Thus the …
