A Simple Model of Direct Gauge Mediation of Metastable Supersymmetry Breaking
We construct a model of direct gauge mediation of metastable SUSY breaking by
simply deforming the Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih model in terms of a dual
meson superpotential mass term. No extra matter field is introduced. The
deformation explicitly breaks a U(1)_R symmetry and a pseudo moduli have a
nonzero VEV at one-loop. Our metastable SUSY breaking vacuum turns out to be
sufficiently long-lived. By gauging a subgroup of flavor symmetry, our model
can directly couple to the standard model, which leads to nonvanishing gaugino
mass generation. It is also shown that our model can evade the Landau pole
problem. We show the parameters in the SUSY breaking sector are
phenomenologically constrained.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, Final version to appear in PR
Light Higgs Triplets in Extra Dimensions
We discuss the possibility that the Higgs triplet can be light (1TeV in the
most interesting case) without contradictions with the proton stability %and
the gauge coupling unification in the context of higher dimensional theory. The
proton stability is ensured by the suppression of Yukawa coupling of the Higgs
triplet to the matter through its small overlap of wave functions in extra
dimensions. The light Higgs triplets might be detected in future collider
experiments as an alternative signature of GUT instead of the proton decay. The
gauge coupling unification can be preserved by introducing extra bulk matter
fields.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, the version to appear in PL
