Dynamically Solving the $\mu /B_{\mu }$ Problem in Gauge-mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

Abstract

We provide a simple solution to the $\mu /B_{\mu }$ problem in the gauge-mediated Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In this model the messenger sector contains one pair of $3+\bar{3}$ and one pair of $2+\bar{2}$ messengers. These two messenger pairs couple to different gauge singlets in the hidden sector in which supersymmetry (SUSY) is broken. Such a gauge-mediation structure can naturally arise in many backgrounds. Because of the two effective SUSY breaking scales $\frac{<F_i>}{<M_i>}$ in the messenger sector, the renormalization group evolutions of the soft SUSY breaking parameters can be properly modified, leading to a negative enough singlet soft mass square $m_N^2({\Lambda }_{EW})$ and hence reasonable $\mu /B_{\mu }$ values. In most of the perturbative (up to the GUT scale) parameter region, as a result, the electroweak scale is stabilized and phenomenologically interesting mass spectra of particles and superparticles are obtained. In addition, this model favors large values of $\tan \beta$: $5\sim 50$ and a heavy scalar spectrum. With the relatively large $\tan \beta$, the light $U(1{)}_R$ pseudoscalar (mainly appearing in the low-scale gauge-mediated SUSY breaking models) becomes extremely singlet-like, and is no longer a problem in this model. These features apply to all cases of low-, intermediate- and high-scale gauge-mediated SUSY breaking.
