Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present one approach for solving the gauge hierarchy problem in a grand unified supersymmetric theory. Supersymmetry is broken at a scale of order 10 12 GeV. Both the grand scale (∼10 19 GeV) and the weak scale are generated via radiative corrections. The main phenomenological features of the model are: (i) the proton decays into K 0 μ + and K + ν μ and the neutron decays into K 0 ν μ ; (ii) the strong GP problem is solved with an invisible axion; (iii) the superpartners of quarks, leptons, gauge and Higgs bosons have masses ∼ 50–100 GeV; and (iv) the lightest superpartner is stable.
