Weak Scale Supersymmetry Without Weak Scale Supergravity
Preprint
- 9 May 2002
Abstract
It is generally believed that weak scale supersymmetry implies weak scale supergravity, in the sense that the masses of the gravitino and gravitationally coupled moduli have masses below 100 TeV. This paper presents a realistic framework for supersymmetry breaking in the hidden sector in which the masses of the gravitino and gravitational moduli can be much larger. This cleanly eliminates the cosmological problems of hidden sector models. Supersymmetry breaking is communicated to the visible sector by anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking. The framework is compatible with perturbative gauge coupling unification, and can be realized either in models of "warped" extra dimensions, or in strongly-coupled four-dimensional conformal field theories.Keywords
