Abstract
The full parameter space of supergravity grand unified theory with SU(5)-type pν¯K proton decay is analyzed using renormalization-group-induced electroweak symmetry breaking under the restrictions that the universal scalar mass m0 and gluino mass are ≤1 TeV (no extreme fine tuning) and the Higgs triplet mass obeys MH3MG<10. Future proton decay experiments at SuperKamiokande or ICARUS can reach a sensitivity for the ν¯K mode of (2-5)×1033 yr allowing a number of predictions concerning the SUSY mass spectrum. Thus either the pν¯K decay mode will be seen at these experiments or a chargino of mass mW̃<100 GeV will exist and hence be observable at CERN LEP2. Further, if (pν¯K)>1.5×1033 yr, then either the light Higgs boson has mass mh95 GeV or mW̃100 GeV, i.e., either the light Higgs boson or the light chargino (or both) would be observable at LEP2. Thus, the combination of future accelerator and future underground experiments allow for strong experimental tests of this theory.
