Up-Down Unification just above the supersymmetric threshold

Abstract

Large corrections to the quark mass matrices at the supersymmetric threshold allow the theory to have identical Yukawa matrices in the superpotential. We demonstrate that Up-Down unification can take place in a moderate quark-squark alignment scenario with an average squark mass of the order 1 TeV and with $\tan \beta >15$
