SO(10) GUTs with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking

Abstract

We explore the phenomenology of supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. We show that if SO(10) breaking proceeds through intermediate left-right symmetric gauge groups which are broken at the supersymmetry breaking scale, then perturbative unification allows the existence of only a few consistent models with very similar phenomenological consequences. We list and discuss some distinctive signatures of these theories. The most remarkable feature of the class of theories introduced here is that, unlike in models with simpler symmetry breaking chains, the allowed messenger spectrum is practically unique.
