Mass Degeneracy of the Higgsinos

The search for charginos and neutralinos at LEP2 can become problematic if these particles are almost mass degenerate with the lightest neutralino. Unfortunately this is the case in the region where these particles are higgsino-like. We show that, in this region, radiative corrections to the higgsino mass splittings can be as large as the tree-level values, if the mixing between the two stop states is large. We also show that the degree of degeneracy of the higgsinos substantially increases if a large phase is present in the higgsino mass term $μ$.

A new ansatz for quark and lepton mass matrices

A new ansatz for quark and lepton mass matrices is proposed in the context of supersymmetric grand unified theories. The 13 parameters describing fermion masses and mixings are determined in terms of only 6 free parameters, allowing 7 testable predictions. The values of $V_{us}$, $V_{cb}$, $V_{ub}$, $m_u$, $m_d$, $m_s$, and $m_b$ are then predicted as a function of the 3 charged lepton masses, $m_c$, $m_t$, and $\tan β$, the ratio of Higgs vacuum expectation values. In particular the Cabibbo angle and $m_s/m_d$ are determined in terms of only lepton masses. All predictions are in very good agreement with experiments.
