Abstract

AbstractWe extend the framework of general gauge mediation to cases where the mediating fields have a nontrivial spectral function, as might arise from strong dynamics. Demonstrating through examples, this setup describes a broad class of possible models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. A main emphasis is to give general formulas for cross sections forσ(visible→hidden) in these resonance models. We will also give formulas for soft masses, A-terms and demonstrate the framework with a holographic setup.

Highlights

  • Within the paradigm of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, perturbative models of supersymmetry breaking and perturbative mediation have been well understood and well mapped out [1]

  • We extend the framework of general gauge mediation to cases where the mediating fields have a nontrivial spectral function, as might arise from strong dynamics

  • Throughout this paper we will display both general results for an unspecified supersymmetry breaking sector and additional results based on the minimal messenger sector, which we use as a test model

Summary

Introduction

Within the paradigm of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, perturbative models of supersymmetry breaking and perturbative mediation have been well understood and well mapped out [1]. In this paper we will assume that when the gauge fields of the standard model interact with the supersymmetry breaking sector their two point functions develop a non trivial spectral function. Whilst completely compatible with four dimensional general gauge mediation, in addition the key features are additional standard model charged resonances arising from the supersymmetry breaking sector and light sfermions relative to gauginos at the high scale M. As the gaugino mass is evaluated at p2 = 0 it is unnaffected by the form factors that effect the sfermion masses and cross sections As models of this type fit within the framework of general gauge mediation, these models typically demonstrate the same features, that being flavour universality, compatibility with gauge unification, a gravitino or multiple pseudo-goldstini as LSPs with standard model superpartner NLSP and small A-terms. In addition one expects light sfermion masses relative to gaugino masses at the high scale M
