Split Supersymmetry in Unified Models

Abstract

In the context of split supersymmetry, the gaugino mass spectrum seems to be very important to satisfy the dark matter content of the universe and the gauge coupling unification. In this paper, we have considered various sources of gaugino masses in the context of unified models. We show that the gaugino mass spectrum varies in different unification pictures. In the context of SU(5), we have found that the Bino/Wino mass ratio can be close to one at the weak scale which is helpful to satisfy the WMAP data. The gluino/Wino mass ratio is also different from the usual scenario of unified gaugino masses. The gaugino masses can be around one TeV and m_SUSY is chosen so that the gluino mass does not create any cosmological problem. In the context of the Pati-Salam model, we show that the gluino mass can be made very heavy even after maintaining the unification of the gauge couplings.
