Genetic Algorithms and the Search for Viable String Vacua (2014)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Rizos, J. (2014). Genetic Algorithms and the Search for Viable String Vacua. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014(8), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep08%282014%29010

Genetic Algorithms are introduced as a search method for finding string vacua with viable phenomenological properties. It is shown, by testing them against a class of Free Fermionic models, that they are orders of magnitude more efficient than a rand...

Natural supersymmetry and dynamical flavour with meta-stable vacua (2014)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & McGarrie, M. (2014). Natural supersymmetry and dynamical flavour with meta-stable vacua. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014(7), Article 145. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep07%282014%29145

We show how gauged flavour breaking and N = 1 supersymmetry breaking can be dynamically aligned to produce natural models. Supersymmetry is broken in a metastable vacuum, while a weakly gauged flavour symmetry is identified with an SU (3) F subgroup...

Novel Higgs potentials from gauge mediation of exact scale breaking (2014)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Mariotti, A. (2014). Novel Higgs potentials from gauge mediation of exact scale breaking. Physical Review D, 89(12), Article 125018. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.89.125018

We present a gauge mediation principle for beyond standard model theories where exact UV scale invariance is broken in a hidden sector. The relevant configurations are those in which the standard model and a hidden sector emanate from a scale invaria...
