Combined gauge-mediated and anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking and conformal sequestering

Abstract

Anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking in the context of 4D conformally\nsequestered models is combined with Poppitz-Trivedi D-type gauge-mediation. The\nimplementation of the two mediation mechanisms naturally leads to visible soft\nmasses at the same scale so that they can cooperatively solve the mu and flavor\nproblems of weak scale supersymmetry, as well as the tachyonic slepton problem\nof pure anomaly-mediation. The tools are developed in a modular fashion for\nmore readily fitting into the general program of optimizing supersymmetric\ndynamics in hunting for the most attractive weak scale phenomenologies combined\nwith Planck-scale plausibility.\n
