Higgs boson from the meta-stable SUSY breaking sector

TL;DR

This paper presents a model where the Higgs boson emerges as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson from a meta-stable SUSY breaking sector, combining little Higgs protection and gauge mediation to explain electroweak symmetry breaking.

Contribution

It introduces a calculable model where the Higgs arises from the SUSY breaking sector with enhanced stability and natural suppression of its mass, integrating little Higgs and gauge mediation mechanisms.

Findings

Higgs boson mass is protected and naturally suppressed.

Predicts new electroweak triplets and doublets at 1 TeV.

Provides a unified framework for SUSY breaking and Higgs emergence.

Abstract

We construct a calculable model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs doublet emerges from the meta-stable SUSY breaking sector as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. The Higgs boson mass is further protected by the little Higgs mechanism, and naturally suppressed by a two-loop factor from the SUSY breaking scale of 10 TeV. Gaugino and sfermion masses arise from standard gauge mediation, but the Higgsino obtains a tree-level mass at the SUSY breaking scale. At 1 TeV, aside from new gauge bosons and fermions similar to other little Higgs models and their superpartners, our model predicts additional electroweak triplets and doublets from the SUSY breaking sector.
