SUMMARY:Compactifying M-theory on a G2 manifold to describe our world\
 , Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Gordon Kane\, University of
  Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Compactified M-theory generically describes many features 
 of our world\, including gravity\; Yang-Mills forces like S(U3)xSU(2)x
 U(1)\; chiral fermions (so parity violation)\; softly broken supersymm
 etry\; a solution to the  hierarchy problem\; electroweak  symmetry br
 eaking and Higgs physics (including  the ratio of the Higgs boson mass
  to  the Z mass\, and Higgs decay branching ratios)\; grand unificatio
 n\; small EDMs\; no flavor changing problems and more.  It predicts a 
 non-thermal cosmological history and addresses the form(s) of dark mat
 ter and the ratio of matter to dark matter.  And it predicts the super
 partner spectrum: heavy (tens of TeV) squarks and sleptons\, light (~ 
 TeV) gluino and LSP. Superpartners should not have been found in Run I
  at LHC\, and can be found in Run II (gluinos about 1..5 TeV\, winos a
 bout 640 GeV).  Five general assumptions are made\, and there are no p
 arameters to vary. There has been good progress in calculating and elu
 cidating the predictions\, but there is still much to do. I will expla
 in the Higgs and superpartner predictions in some detail.
