Mapping Anomalous Currents in Supersymmetric Dualities (2011)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Buican, M., & Komargodski, Z. (2011). Mapping Anomalous Currents in Supersymmetric Dualities. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 84(4), Article 045005. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.84.045005

In many strongly coupled systems, the infrared dynamics is described by different degrees of freedom from the ultraviolet. It is then natural to ask how operators written in terms of the microscopic variables are mapped to operators composed of the m...

Easy Dirac Gauginos (2011)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Goodsell, M. (2011). Easy Dirac Gauginos. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011(6), Article 64. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06%282011%29064

A simple and natural model is presented that gives Dirac gauginos. The configuration is related to “deconstructed gaugino mediation”. A high energy completion is provided based on existing ISS-like models of deconstructed gaugino mediation. This prov... Read More about Easy Dirac Gauginos.

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(...

SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum (2007)
Journal Article
Abel, S. A., Chu, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. V. (2007). SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(01), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/01/089

Supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum is re-examined in a cosmological context. It is shown that thermal effects generically drive the Universe to the metastable minimum even if it begins in the supersymmetry-preserving one. This is a generic...
