Abstract

We propose a new U(1) gauge interaction in the bulk in higher dimensional spacetime, which transmits supersymmetry-breaking effects on the hidden brane to the observable our brane. We find that rather small gauge coupling constant of U(1)_{bulk}, , is required for a successful phenomenology. This result implies the compactification length of the extra dimension to be for (4+1)-dimensional spacetime. This large compactification length is a crucial ingredient to suppress unwanted flavor-changing neutral currents and hence our proposal is very consistent with the Randall-Sundrum brane-world scenario.
