Abstract

In the gauge mediation mechanism, the effects of the hidden sector are characterized by a set of correlation functions of the global symmetry current of the hidden sector. We present methods to compute these correlators in cases with strongly coupled hidden sectors. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the technique explicitly.

Highlights

  • Gauge mediation has been an attractive mechanism for mediating the supersymmetry breaking effects

  • Many of the physically observable effects mediated to the MSSM can be encoded by the current-current correlators of the global symmetry of the hidden sector

  • A model has the gauge mediation mechanism if the theory decouples into the MSSM and a separate hidden sector that breaks SUSY in the limit the MSSM gauge couplings αi all vanish

Summary

Introduction

Gauge mediation has been an attractive mechanism for mediating the supersymmetry breaking effects. Meade, Seiberg and Shih [1] presented a very general definition of the gauge mediation mechanism that includes most models with the supersymmetry breaking sector and the messengers, and models with the direct mediation. They computed several physical quantities such as gaugino and sfermion masses on a general ground. Many of the physically observable effects mediated to the MSSM can be encoded by the current-current correlators of the global symmetry of the hidden sector This allows us to extract the soft supersymmetry breaking terms even in the strongly coupled hidden sector. We provide a number of computable examples
