Electroweak Symmetry Breaking due to Confinement

TL;DR

This paper explores a novel electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism driven by confinement in a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, avoiding the traditional $$ term, with implications for phenomenology.

Contribution

It introduces a new electroweak symmetry breaking pattern based on confinement without relying on the conventional $$ term, within gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking.

Findings

Electroweak symmetry breaking can be achieved through confinement effects.

The model provides a low-energy effective description of a confining supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.

Phenomenological implications of this confinement-driven symmetry breaking are discussed.

Abstract

Within the framework of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, we consider an electroweak symmetry breaking pattern in which there is no conventional $\mu$ term. The pattern is made appealing through realizing it as low energy effective description of a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory which is of confinement. Phenomenological implications are discussed.
