The Heavy Top and Radiative Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

Now that we are familiar with the notion and practice of renormalization group evolution, we will continue and renormalize the MSSM in order to understand the possible ultraviolet origins of its infrared structure. (For example, see Ref. [92].) We begin with an intriguing feature of the equations, the quasi-fixed point. We then discuss the renormalization of the spectrum parameters. Though we will use the quasi-fixed point regime for demonstration, this is done for simplicity only and the radiative-symmetry-breaking results derived below apply in general.
