Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Durnford, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. (2008). Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum. Physics Letters B, 661(2-3), 201-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.01.065

We consider the metastable N=1 QCD model of Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS), deformed by adding a baryon term to the superpotential. This simple deformation causes the spontaneous breaking of the approximate R-symmetry of the metastable vacuum....

Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Khoze, V. (2008). Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(11), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/11/024

It is well-known that in scenarios with direct gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking the messenger fields significantly affect the running of Standard Model couplings and introduce Landau poles which are difficult to avoid. This appears to remove... Read More about Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification.

Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Jaeckel, J., Khoze, V., & Ringwald, A. (2008). Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. Physics Letters B, 666(1), 66-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.03.076

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict minicharged particles to which current and near future low-energy experiments are highly sensitive. Such minicharges arise generically from kinetic mixing in theories containing at least two U(...
