Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking and Low Energy Gauge Mediation

arXiv:0712.1355 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.055013

Abstract

Dynamical breaking of supersymmetry was long thought to be an exceptional phenomenon, but recent developments have altered this view. A question of great interest in the current framework is the value of the underlying scale of supersymmetry breaking. The "little hierarchy" problem suggests that supersymmetry should be broken at low energies. Within one class of models, low energy breaking be achieved as a consequence of symmetries, without requiring odd coincidences. The low energy theories are distinguished by the presence or absence of symmetries; in either case, and especially the latter one often finds modifications of the minimal gauge-mediated spectrum which can further ameliorate problems of fine tuning. Various natural mechanisms exist to solve the problem in this framework.
