Supersymmetry Breaking and Restoration in the Interval

Abstract

We study fermions, such as gravitinos and gauginos in supersymmetric theories, propagating in a five-dimensional bulk where the fifth dimension is an interval. We show the mass spectrum becomes independent from the Scherk-Schwarz parameter if the boundary mass terms obey a relation of alignment with the bulk supersymmetry breaking.
