TL;DR
This paper analyzes the thermal behavior of extraordinary gauge mediation models, focusing on how finite temperature effects influence the stability of supersymmetry-breaking versus supersymmetric vacua.
Contribution
It provides an analytical and numerical study of the finite temperature dynamics in direct gauge mediation models, highlighting the preferred vacuum state.
Findings
Finite temperature effects can alter vacuum stability.
The thermal evolution favors certain vacua over others.
Analytical and numerical methods complement each other in the analysis.
Abstract
We investigate minimally completed models of extraordinary gauge mediation, which are examples of direct gauge mediation, at finite temperature both analytically and numerically. These models may have both supersymmetry breaking and supersymmetric vacua. Our interest is in determining the preferred vacuum. We do so by computing the finite temperature Coleman-Weinberg potential and studying its thermal evolution.
