Orbifolds with continuous Wilson lines and soft terms

Abstract

Orbifold compactifications with continuous Wilson lines have very interesting characteristics and as a consequence they are candidates to obtain realistic models. We perform an analysis of the soft supersymmetry-breaking terms arising in this type of compactifications. We also compare these results with those of orbifolds without including continuous Wilson lines. Their phenomenological properties turn out to be similar.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe
