Deflected Mirage Mediation: A Framework for Generalized Supersymmetry Breaking

TL;DR

This paper introduces a flexible framework for supersymmetry breaking that combines gravity, gauge, and anomaly mediation, motivated by moduli stabilization, leading to distinctive gaugino unification and sparticle spectra for LHC exploration.

Contribution

It proposes a novel, unified phenomenological framework for supersymmetry breaking that interpolates between different mediation mechanisms based on recent moduli stabilization insights.

Findings

Gauginos show mirage unification at a deflected scale.

Gluinos are often the lightest colored sparticles.

The framework enables new LHC phenomenology studies.

Abstract

We present a general phenomenological framework for dialing between gravity mediation, gauge mediation, and anomaly mediation. The approach is motivated from recent developments in moduli stabilization, which suggest that gravity mediated terms can be effectively loop suppressed and thus comparable to gauge and anomaly mediated terms. The gauginos exhibit a mirage unification behavior at a "deflected" scale, and gluinos are often the lightest colored sparticles. The approach provides a rich setting in which to explore generalized supersymmetry breaking at the LHC.
