A Constrained Standard Model from a Compact Extra Dimension
Abstract
A SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) supersymmetric theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S1/(Z2 × Z2'). The compactification breaks supersymmetry leaving a set of zero modes which correspond precisely to the states of the 1 Higgs doublet standard model. Supersymmetric Yukawa interactions are localized at orbifold fixed points. The top quark hypermultiplet radiatively triggers electroweak symmetry breaking, yielding a Higgs potential which is finite and exponentially insensitive to physics above the compactification scale. This potential depends on only a single free parameter, the compactification scale, yielding a Higgs mass prediction of 127 8 GeV. The masses of the all superpartners, and the Kaluza-Klein excitations are also predicted. The lightest supersymmetric particle is a top squark of mass 197 20 GeV. The top Kaluza-Klein tower leads to the parameter having quadratic sensitivity to unknown physics in the ultraviolet.
