Abstract
The supersymmetric extension of the conventional mechanism of dynamical gauge symmetry breaking is presented in the general case where the Goldstone bosons may be either doubled or non-doubled. The models considered are strongly interacting supersymmetric gauge theories with an arbitrary chiral breaking pattern G → H. A subgroup G w of G is weakly gauged and the resulting mass generation mechanisms for the Bose and Fermi gauge fields of G w are analysed. If gauge fields are coupled to non-doubled Goldstone bosons, it is found that supersymmetry is spontaneously broken not just by the masses but also by the spins of the physical particles. The spectrum reveals no supersymmetry multiplet structure. The decoupling of unphysical degrees of freedom is carefully discussed, and the quartet decoupling mechanism is extended to supersymmetry theories with composite Goldstone bosons. The necessary techniques for calculating the masses of pseudo-Goldstone bosons and their supersymmetry partners are demonstrated.
