Shining on an Orbifold
arXiv:hep-ph/0412017 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.085013
Abstract
By shining a hypermultiplet from one side of the bulk of a flat five-dimensional orbifold, supersymmetry can be broken by boundary conditions. The extra dimension is stabilized in a supersymmetric way, and by computing the four-dimensional effective potential for the radion it is shown that supersymmetry breaking does not damage our radius stabilization mechanism. The low energy theory contains the radion and two complex scalars that are massless in the global supersymmetric limit and are stabilized by tree level supergravity effects. It is shown that radion mediation can play the dominant role in communicating supersymmetry breaking to the visible sector. It is also shown that at tree level, contact terms are exponentially suppressed.
