Bc. Allanach et Sf. King, BOTTOM-TAU YUKAWA UNIFICATION IN THE NEXT-TO-MINIMAL SUPERSYMMETRIC STANDARD MODEL, Physics letters. Section B, 328(3-4), 1994, pp. 360-368
We discuss the unification of the bottom quark and tau lepton Yukawa c
ouplings within the framework of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric st
andard model. We compare the allowed regions of the m(t)-tan beta plan
e to those in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, and find that
over much of the parameter space the deviation between the prediction
s of two models is small, and nearly always much less than the effect
of current theoretical and experimental uncertainties in the bottom qu
ark mass and the strong coupling constant. However over some regions o
f parameter space top-bottom Yukawa unification cannot be achieved. We
also discuss the scaling of the light fermion masses and mixing angle
s, and show that to within current uncertainties the results of recent
texture analyses performed for the minimal model also apply to the ne
xt-to-minimal model.
