Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Induced by Higher-derivative Supergravitation in the Electroweak Standard Model

چکیده
Abstract. We show how spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in the vacuum state of higher-derivative supergravity is transmitted, as explicit soft supersymmetry-breaking terms, to the effective Lagrangian of the standard electroweak model. The general structure of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms is presented and a new scenario for understanding the gauge hierarchy problem, based on the functional form of these terms, is discussed.

Renormalization Group Study of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model: No Scale Models
We present partial numerical results in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with soft breaking of supersymmetry, and radiative breaking of the electroweak symmetry. We impose the additional relation mb = mτ at the GUT scale. For the special case of the strict no-scale model, in which global supersymmetry breaking arises solely from soft gaugino masses, we find that Mt is expected to be li...
متن کاملElectroweak Symmetry Breaking in Supersymmetric Gauge-Higgs Unification Models
We examine the Higgs mass parameters and electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric orbifold field theories in which the 4-dimensional Higgs fields originate from higher-dimensional gauge supermultiplets. It is noted that such gauge-Higgs unification leads to a specific boundary condition on the Higgs mass parameters at the compactification scale, which is independent of the details of sup...
متن کاملModel Building and Phenomenology of Flux-Induced Supersymmetry Breaking on D3-branes
We study supersymmetry breaking effects induced on D3-branes at singularities by the presence of NSNS and RR 3-form fluxes. First, we discuss some local constructions of chiral models from D3-branes at singularities, as well as their global embedding in flux compactifications. The low energy spectrum of these constructions contains features of the supersymmetric Standard Model. In these models,...
متن کاملElectroweak Breaking and the μ problem in Supergravity Models with an Additional U ( 1 )
We consider electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric models with an extra non-anomalous U (1) ′ gauge symmetry and an extra standard-model singlet scalar S. For appropriate charges the U (1) ′ forbids an elementary µ term, but an effective µ is generated by the VEV of S, leading to a natural solution to the µ problem. There are a variety of scenarios leading to acceptably small Z − Z ′ m...
متن کاملThe Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Lagrangian: Theory and Applications
After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100 GeV to TeV scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of the soft supersymmetry-breaking Lagrangian of the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Extensions to include neutrino masses and nonminimal theories are also discussed. Topics covered include models of ...
