Abstract
We construct models in which electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken by supersymmetric strong dynamics at the TeV scale. The order parameter is a composite of scalars, and the longitudinal components of the W and Z are strongly coupled bound states of scalars. The usual phenomenological problems of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking are absent: the sign of the S parameter unconstrained in strongly interacting SUSY theories, and fermion masses are generated without flavor-changing neutral currents or large corrections to the ρ parameter. The lightest neutral Higgs scalar can be heavier than without radiative corrections from standard-model fields. All the mass scales in the model can be naturally related in low-scale models of supersymmetry breaking. The μ problem can also be solved naturally, and the model can incorporate perturbative unification of standard-model gauge couplings with intermediate thresholds.
