Description

We discuss the low-energy phenomenology of E6-inspired SUSY GUTs with an intermediate-scale breaking. These models have TeV scale exotic particles beyond the MSSM like a Z' boson and leptoquark states. Our focus lies on the investigation of the parameter space of these models, the specifics of their spectra as well as their possible LHC phenomenology. We especially discuss the search and discrimination of the scalar leptoquarks. For their fermionic superpartners, the leptoquarkinos, interesting search modes show up in several kinds of potential decay cascades.
