SUSY Breaking at the Tip of Throat and Mirage Mediation

TL;DR

This paper explores a supersymmetry breaking mechanism at the IR end of a warped throat in string theory, leading to a unique pattern of superparticle masses that could be tested at the LHC.

Contribution

It introduces a novel supersymmetry breaking scenario in warped throat geometries with a specific mirage mediation pattern of soft terms, applicable to KKLT compactifications.

Findings

Predicts distinctive superparticle mass patterns

Suggests testability at the LHC

Connects SUSY breaking to warped throat geometries

Abstract

We discuss some features of supersymmetry breaking induced by a brane-localized source which is stabilized at the IR end of warped throat, and also the resulting mirage mediation pattern of soft terms of the visible fields which are localized in the bulk space corresponding to the UV end of throat. Such supersymmetry breaking scheme can be naturally realized in KKLT-type string compactification, and predicts highly distinctive pattern of low energy superparticle masses which might be tested at the LHC.
