Abstract: Recently, the idea of low-energy supersymmetry (SUSY) as a solution to the hierarchy problem has been challenged by the null results of SUSY searches at the LHC. However, SUSY has another important motivation, gauge coupling unification. Kazuki will review this old idea and find the condition on the mass spectrum that allows precise gauge unification in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Combining this condition with other considerations from model building, we argue that gluinos should be within the reach of the LHC or future 100-TeV colliders. Kazuki is a Cluster guest. Local host: Andreas Weiler (TUM) As usual we will offer fruits, snacks and soft drinks in the lounge area.
