"Gaugomaly" Mediated SUSY Breaking and Conformal Sequestering

TL;DR

This paper explores a combined mediation approach in supersymmetry breaking that addresses key issues like the mu problem, flavor problem, and tachyonic sleptons, aiming for more viable weak scale phenomenology.

Contribution

It introduces a novel combination of anomaly-mediated and gauge-mediation mechanisms within conformally sequestered models, enhancing supersymmetry breaking solutions.

Findings

Soft masses are generated at compatible scales for combined mediation.

The approach naturally solves the mu and flavor problems.

It provides a modular framework for supersymmetric model building.

Abstract

Anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking in the context of 4D conformally sequestered models is combined with Poppitz-Trivedi D-type gauge-mediation. The implementation of the two mediation mechanisms naturally leads to visible soft masses at the same scale so that they can cooperatively solve the mu and flavor problems of weak scale supersymmetry, as well as the tachyonic slepton problem of pure anomaly-mediation. The tools are developed in a modular fashion for more readily fitting into the general program of optimizing supersymmetric dynamics in hunting for the most attractive weak scale phenomenologies combined with Planck-scale plausibility.
