# A radiatively generated source of flavor universal scalar soft masses

## TL;DR

This paper introduces non-standard supersymmetry breaking terms that generate flavor-universal scalar masses, enabling viable electroweak supersymmetry spectra with distinctive signatures.

## Contribution

It proposes a novel class of supersymmetry breaking terms that influence scalar masses and can dominate radiative corrections, expanding model-building possibilities.

## Key findings

- Non-standard SUSY breaking terms induce flavor-universal scalar masses.
- These terms can dominate over bino radiative corrections.
- Spectrum signatures include raised right-handed sleptons.

## Abstract

We report that models of electroweak supersymmetry with gaugino mass unification and sequestered scalar masses can still produce viable spectra, as long as we include a set of non-standard supersymmetry breaking terms, which are trilinear in scalars like the A-terms, but are non-holomorphic in visible sector fields unlike the A- terms. These terms impart a subtle feature to one loop renormalisation group equations of soft supersymmetry breaking terms, indirectly sourcing flavor universal contributions to all scalar masses. These new contributions can even dominate over radiative corrections form bino, and help raise right handed sleptons above bino, while leaving a tell-tale signature in the spectrum.
