What are the best resources for studying physics beyond the standard model?

[FourEyedRaven]

Hi.

I'm looking for recommendations of books, surveys, or lecture notes, that deal with physics beyond the standard model all in one place.

The starting point is someone who already knows QFT and the SM at the level of Schwartz's book on QFT and the SM.

The ideal book would cover all the main venues tried so far (GUTs, supersymmetry, string theory, quantum gravity, etc.), teaching the essential points of each theory, as well as their advantages, disadvantages, and open problems.

Cheers.

Hi,

I happened to have this book lying around, Michael Dine's "Supersymmetry and String Theory - Beyond the SM". Unfortunately I have so far not actually worked with the book, but the table of contents promises to cover most of what you asked for (Part 1: SM and GUTs; Part 2: Susy; Part 3: String Theory). Unfortunately, I couldn't find it online, at least not on a website I felt comfortable sharing here.

Sorry for the sparse information...
