Simplest, string-derivable, supergravity model and its experimental predictions

We present the simplest, string-derivable, supergravity model and discuss its experimental consequences. This model is a new string-inspired flipped $SU(5)$ which unifies at the string scale $M_U=10^{18}\GeV$ due to the introduction of an additional pair of \r{10},\rb{10} flipped $SU(5)$ representations which contain new intermediate scale `gap' particles. We study various model-building issues which should be addressed in string-derived incarnations of this model. We focus our study on the no-scale supergravity mechanism and explore thoroughly the three-dimensional parameter space of the model ($m_{\tilde g},m_t,\tan\beta$), thus obtaining several simple relationships among the particle masses, such as: $m_{\tilde q}\approx m_{\tilde g}$, $m_{\tilde e_L}\approx m_{\tilde\nu}\approx0.30 m_{\tilde g}$, $m_{\tilde e_R}\approx0.18m_{\tilde g}$, and $m_{\chi^0_2}\approx2m_{\chi^0_1}\approx m_{\chi^\pm_1}$. In a strict interpretation of the no-scale supergravity scenario we solve for $\tan\beta$ as a function of $m_t$ and $m_{\tilde g}$, and show that $m_t$ determines not only the sign of the Higgs mixing parameter $\mu$ but also whether the lightest Higgs boson mass is above or below $100\GeV$. We also find that throughout the parameter space the neutralino relic abundance is within observational bounds ($\Omega_\chi h^2_0\lsim0.25$) and may account for a significant portion of the dark matter in the Universe.Comment: 29 pages plus nine figures (not included).
