The Role of Scalar and Pseudoscalar Fields in Determining Nucleosynthesis Bounds on the Scale of Supersymmetry Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of spin-0 goldstino superpartners is considered on the nucleosynthesis bounds arising when a superlight gravitino appears as an effective massless neutrino species. When the scalar and pseudoscalar superpartners are relativistic they will decouple at much later times than the goldstino and consequently will be the dominant effect when obtaining a nucleosynthesis bound on the scale of supersymmetry breaking. Assuming that the scalar and pseudoscalar fields decouple at a temperature no later than O(100) MeV, then typically the scale of supersymmetry breaking √ F ∼ 60 TeV. This corresponds to a lower bound on the gravitino mass m3/2 ∼ 1 eV. [email protected] 1

Nonthermal production of gravitinos and inflatinos in the Inflationary Universe
The success of primordial nucleosynthesis imposes stringent bounds on the abundance of gravitational relics. This is particularly true for gravitinos, which for models with gravitationally mediated supersymmetry breaking are expected to have a mass below the TeV scale and thus to decay only after nucleosynthesis has concluded. We discuss the nonthermal production of gravitinos in models with se...
متن کاملCompHEP Package with Light Gravitino and Sgoldstinos
We present a complete description of a new physical model with goldstino supermultiplet for CompHEP software package. The model contains MSSM content supplemented by three new fields: goldstino – two component spinor, scalar sgoldstino and pseudoscalar sgoldstino. To the leading order in 1/F , where F is the parameter of supersymmetry breaking, and to zero order in MSSM gauge and Yukawa couplin...
متن کاملCosmological Constraints on Perturbative Supersymmetry Breaking
We discuss the cosmology of string models with perturbative supersymmetry breaking at a scale of O(TeV). Such models exhibit Kaluza-Klein like spectra and contain unstable massive gravitinos/gravitons. We find that considerations of primordial nucleosynthesis constrain the maximum temperature following inflation to be not much larger than the supersymmetry breaking scale. This imposes conflicti...
متن کاملThe scale of supersymmetry breaking as a free parameter
While supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model can be fully described in terms of explicitly broken global supersymmetry, this description is only effective. Once related to spontaneous breaking in a more fundamental theory, the effective parameters translate to functions of two distinct scales, the scale of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and the scale of its mediation to the standar...
متن کاملGravitational divergences as a mediator of supersymmetry breaking
Gravitational divergences associated with singlet fields in supersymmetric theories are reexamined, and their possible contributions to the low-energy effective theory are pointed out. We demonstrate that such divergences are not necessarily harmful and that Planck-scale physics could play an important role in models of low-energy supersymmetry breaking via a radiatively induced tadpole term in...
