"Indirect Investigations of SUSY" Subgroup Conveners: Gerald Eigen (U of Bergen) - Rare Decays Graham Kribs (UW, Madison) - Theory Konstantin Matchev (CERN) - Theory Rick Gaitskell (Brown U) - Astroparticle Searches Charge: Assume that strong evidence for the existence of
SUSY will be found at the Tevatron, LHC, in rare processes, or in astrophysics
data. Focus on how supersymmetric effects could be identified indirectly and
what they contribute to our understanding of the structure of the underlying
theory. Compare the sensitivity of indirect searches with that for direct
searches. To what degree can these indirect processes help to disentangle the
various mechanisms for SUSY breaking, determine the soft breaking parameters,
and permit extrapolations to much higher energy scales. Examine how improvements
in measurements of processes, such as g-2, Who is doing what in SUSY groups Back to the "Scales Beyond 1 TeV" Group Home Page |

would further constrain or determine the SUSY
model parameters and physics at the GUT or String scale. Examine what will be
learned about SUSY from processes which will either be measured or more severely
constrained by the end of the decade, such as anomalous electric dipole moments,
CP-violation in the B system, 
and galactic dark matter. Identify promising new lines of experimentation.
Quantify the necessary theoretical improvements that are needed in order to
distinguish SUSY effects from Standard Model uncertainties. Coordinate a blind
analysis with the "Direct Investigations of SUSY" subgroup to
determine the complementary information gained from indirect processes in
testing the ability of future experiment to determine the SUSY parameters and
underlying breaking mechanism. This group should also coordinate efforts and
synthesize the studies with groups P2 and P4.
