EXPERIMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF ONE-PARAMETER NO-SCALE SUPERGRAVITY MODELS

Abstract

We consider the experimental predictions of two one-parameter no-scale SU (5)× U (1) supergravity models with string-inspired moduli and dilaton seeds of supersymmetry breaking. These predictions have been considerably sharpened with the new information on the top-quark mass from the Tevatron, and the actual measurement of the B(b→sγ) branching ratio from CLEO. In particular, the sign of the Higgs mixing parameter μ is fixed. A more precise measurement of the top-quark mass above (below) ≈160 GeV would disfavor the dilaton (moduli) scenario. Similarly a measurement of the lightest Higgs-boson mass above 90 GeV (below 100 GeV) would disfavor the dilaton (moduli) scenario. At the Tevatron with 100 pb−1, the reach into parameter space is significant only in the dilaton scenario [Formula: see text] via the trilepton and top-squark signals. At LEPII the dilaton scenario could be probed up to the kinematical limit via chargino and top-squark pair production, and the discovery of the lightest Higgs boson is guaranteed. In the moduli scenario, only selectron pair production looks promising. We also calculate the supersymmetric contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
