Description

Unparticle physics from a hidden conformal sector can alter the evolution of the Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings via TeV scale threshold corrections. We discuss how this may lead to gauge coupling unification at MGUT∼2x1015-5x1017GeV without introducing new particles in the SM sector
