August 26, 2013: My paper in collaboration with Patrick Draper, entitled Decoupling of the right-handed neutrino contribution to the Higgs mass in supersymmetric models, was published today in the European Physical Journal C. This paper demonstrates that the contributions from the right-handed neutrino sector to the computation of the mass of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson of the MSSM are negligibly small, as expected from the decoupling theorem (thereby disproving a suggestion in the literature that such contributions could be as large as a few GeV).

I. Research

The basic themes underlying my research program are: (i) the elucidation of the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking; (ii) the viability of low-energy supersymmetry as a model of electroweak interactions; (iii) the unification of fundamental particles and their interactions; and (iv) the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at present and future colliders.

The phenomenology of the Higgs boson sector is intimately tied to the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking. In particular, the two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is a key component of the simplest supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. The theoretical structure and phenomenological profile of the 2HDM has attracted much attention in recent years. My recent works have advocated the importance of a basis-independent treatment of the 2HDM. If future collider experiments provide evidence for a 2HDM structure, it will be critical to establish model-independent techniques for probing the fundamental Higgs boson interactions.

If nature is indeed supersymmetric, it will also be essential to develop techniques for measuring new particle interaction strengths at high energy colliders. With sufficient precision, it will be possible to provide convincing evidence for or against a supersymmetric interpretation of new fundamental physics phenomena.

Webpage for Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry, maintained by Stephen P. Martin. Both the arXiv version and the Physics Reports version use the spacetime metric signature (+1,-1,-1,-1), as is found for example in the field theory textbooks by Ramond, and by Peskin and Schroeder . However, many people including one of the authors (S.P. Martin) prefer the metric signature (-1, +1, +1, +1), as is found for example in the textbooks by Weinberg, by Wess and Bagger, by Srednicki, and in Martin's Supersymmetry Primer. Here is a PDF file of v5 of our review with the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric convention, which should be identical in content in every other respect: DHMspinors_v5.pdf.

The list of known corrections to the Physics Reports version (September 2010) is here: DHM_corr_PhysicsReports.pdf.

The list of known corrections to the arXiv v5 (311 pages, August 2010) is here: DHM_corr_v5.pdf.

Both the (+1,-1,-1,-1) and the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric versions were made from the single LaTeX file DHMspinors_v5.tex. [If you are curious and want to LaTeX this for some reason, you may need the style files found here; other packages used should be in most standard LaTeX distributions. The choice of metric signature is implemented by simply changing a single character in the LaTeX file, namely the argument of line 16, with \def\signofmetric{0} corresponding to the (+1,-1,-1,-1) metric and \def\signofmetric{1} to the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric.]

X. Extracurricular Activities

Some of the physics students and I play softball in the UCSC intramural coed softball league. The fall season runs from early October to early December, and the spring season runs from early April to early June.

Our team, called Re-Entry, is sponsored by the STARS organization on campus, which provides support and counseling for returning (or re-entry) students to campus. You can follow our season exploits on the Re-Entry Team Webpage.
