Phenomenological predictions of the SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified model

The phenomenological predictions of the SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified model (SO(10) SGUM) for the mass scales M₁, M₂, weak angle ifsin²θ_w, quark-leptons mass ratios $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>b</mtext>}}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\tau }}$, $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{t}}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>b</mtext>}}$, $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\tau }}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\nu }}{}_{\mathrm{\tau }}$ and proton lifetime τ_p are estimated by using renormalization group analysis at one-loop level. In contrast with SU(5) SGUM, we find that the SO(10) SGUM still has problems with τ_p but not with sin²θ_w and $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>b</mtext>}}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\tau }}$, which may suggest that supersymmetry would be bro at a mass scale $\text{?10}{}^7\text{GeV}$.
