On Gauge Mediated SUSY Breaking and Moduli Stabilization

Abstract

A generic lesson of string theory is that the coupling constants of an effective low energy theory are determined by the vacuum values of a set of fields - the so-called moduli - some of which are stabilized at relatively low masses by non-perturbative effects. We argue that the physics of these moduli cannot be separated from the issues of dynamical and gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. To illustrate this point we present a modified version of the type IIB KKLT model where the criteria for gauge mediated SUSY breaking may be realized.
