Soft SUSY Masses and the Dynamical Determination of the Gravitino Mass

Abstract

We discuss in detail the possibility of determining dynamicaly the gravitino mass $m_{3/2}$, which is related to the supersymmetry breaking scale, within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Using the complete MSSM spectrum, we minimize the vacuum energy including one-loop corrections and a cosmological term of $\mathcal{O}(m_{3/2}^4)$ induced by the underlying fundamental theory. We find that both terms are necessary to determine dynamically the gravitino mass. Other useful constraints for the low energy phenomenology are also obtained.
