Abstract: Kazuki will present the recent study on natural and unnatural supersymmetry (SUSY) in light of the proton decay and gauge unification. He will show that the low-energy SUSY mass spectrum is linked to the proton decay via the unification scale. Future nucleon decay experiments will provide a non-trivial upper bound on the superpartner masses. We also show that the mirage mediation provides a consistent picture of natural SUSY. For unnatural SUSY, we present a systematic study on split SUSY and predict a unique spectrum, which could be around the corner of discovery. Kazuki is a Cluster guest.
