I am trying to figure out the Feynman diagrams for the Hierarchy problem. Here's what I have.

(a) is the Higgs self interaction (φ4). It is quadratically divergent with additional logarithmic terms.

(b) is the 1 loop Yukawa correction to the Higgs where F might be the top quark and g is the Yukawa coupling constant. It is also quadratically divergent with additional logarithmic terms.

(c) shows the Higgsino in the supersymmetric model.

(d) shows the sfermion in the supersymmetric model.

My question is "Are these diagrams correct and, in the supersymmetric model, what 'cancels' what?"

Assuming (c) and (d) are valid diagrams, (c) should 'cancel' (a) and (d) should 'cancel' (b). Is this correct? What about other combinations? The literature seems to indicate that (d) would also 'cancel' (a) but I'm not sure why? Also, what can be said about the coupling constants involved in (c) and (d)?

I'm new to this subject so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

OK, I have modified my question based on some new understanding.

I am trying to verify some of the Feynman diagrams associated with the Higgs hierarchy problem. I have constructed the following.

(a) The self interaction and (c) the Yukawa interaction, represent the 1 loop corrections to the Higgs mass.

(b) Would offset (a).

(d) Would offset (c).

(e) Doesn't work because it violates R-parity.

Am I on the right track?
 
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
