  1. 1. Phenomenological exploration of flavored Grand Unification through high-scale matching and renormalization group flow

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hector Tiblom; [2023]
    Keywords : Grand Unification; GUT; trinification; spontaneous symmetry breaking; effective field theory; EFT; high-scale matching; renormalization group flow; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM), and its unification of the electromagnetic and weak forces has inspired the search for a Grand Unified Theory (GUT), that dynamically reduces to the SM at low energies. In this work, we consider one such GUT, based on the trinification model [SU(3)]³ with an additional local SU(2) family symmetry, that is then broken directly to the gauge symmetry group of the SM.

  3. 2. Flavour Symmetries in SU(5) Grand Unified Theories

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Malte Lindestam; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The current description of physics on the very smallest scales is given by the standard model (SM) of particle physics. It makes many good predictions and is a highly successful theory. There are however phenomena it cannot explain, and it is therefore not a complete theory of particle physics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Unification in Particle Physics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Henrik Jansson; [2016]
    Keywords : particle physics; Grand Unified Theories; discrete family symmetry;

    Abstract : During the twentieth century, particle physics developed into a cornerstone of modern physics, culminating in the Standard Model. Even though this theory has proved to be of extraordinary power, it is still incomplete in several respects. READ MORE

  6. 5. Grand Unified Theories: SU(5), SO(10) and supersymmetric SU(5)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik
