Description

We make predictions for particle masses and couplings on the basis of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We assume that supersymmetry breaking is seeded by a universal gaugino mass, and we perform a full one-loop analysis of the electroweak gauge symmetry breaking, imposing phenomenological and theoretical constraints on the model's input parameters. We find 76 GeV < mt < 90 GeV, 13 GeV < mH < 72 GeV, 4 GeV < msub(N1) < 20 GeV, 160 GeV < msub(g tilde) < 400 GeV, 140 GeV < msub(q tilde) < 350 GeV, msub(C1) < 65 GeV, 55 GeV < msub(eL) < 120 GeV, 40 GeV < msub(eR) < 75 GeV, and 0.4 < Rinv = [Γ(Z→N1N1) + Σi3=1Γ(Z→anti ν tildeiν tildei)]/Γ(Z→anti νν) < 1.4, where H, C1 and N1 are the lightest neutral Higgs scalar, spin-1/2 chargino and spin-1/2 neutralino, respectively, and the upper limits on the masses (lower limit on Rinv) hold if a N1 lighter than the W is to solve the dark matter problem. Therefore, several new particle signatures could be detectable at SLC, LEPI or II: Z→Hanti ff, e+e-→ZH, e+e- → l tilde+l tilde-, e+e-→C1+C1- and an apparently non-integer number of neutrinos from Z→missing neutrals (N1N1, anti ν tilde ν tilde).
