Supersymmetric U(1)' Models
Date: Thursday, February 26th
Time: 4:00 pm
Place: 4274 Chamberlin
Speaker: Gil Paz, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
Abstract: Extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) that include a U(1)' gauge symmetry are motivated by top-down
constructions and offer an elegant solution to the MSSM mu problem.

In this talk I will describe some of the opportunities that such models offer, such as a new mechanism for mediation of supersymmetry breaking, as well as some of the challenges in constructing viable supersymmetric U(1)' models.
Host: Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf
