Spring 2006

In order for a supersymmetric extension of the standard model to be viable, supersymmetry must be broken and this breaking must be communicated to the standard model in a way that does not introduce large modifications to the known successes of the standard model.

Mirage mediation is one example of a SUSY breaking communication scheme, and in the literature, there was a proposed limit of mirage mediation that (if it existed) would have a spectacular compressed supersymmetry spectrum. We showed that the proposed limit…
