A Theoretical upper bound on the mass scale of superpartners

Abstract:
If N=2 supersymmetry breaks to N=1 supersymmetry at an intermediate scale and then, later on, N=1 supersymmetry breaks and produces standard model at a scale such that , renormalization group evolution of three gauge couplings are altered above the scale , changing the unification scale and the unified coupling. We show that when we enforce this general condition on the solutions of the renormalization group equations, the condition is translated into an upper bound on the scale . Using presently favored values of , we get GeVs for the central value of . When low energy threshold effect is present, this bound gets smeared yet remains generally stable in the GeV range. We also show that if we demand string unification instead of having an unified gauge theory, this constraint can be changed by exotic hypercharge normalizations.- supersymmetry: symmetry breaking
