| Description | Speaker: Digvijay Varier (UC Berkeley) Title: Anomaly-Mediated SUSY Breaking in QCD-like SU(N) and Sp(N) Gauge Theories Room: 3024 Host: John Terning Abstract: We present an analytical derivation of the chiral symmetry breaking minima in supersymmetric asymptotically-free SU(N) and Sp(N) gauge theories with F flavors of “quarks”, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking. Applying AMSB to the ADS, quantum-modified, s-confining, free magnetic and conformal phases of these theories, we are able to show that almost all of them possess stable chiral symmetry breaking minima that could plausibly be continuously connected to the vacua of QCD-like theories in the complete SUSY breaking limit. In the Sp(N) all the global minima have are calculable. There are no tree-level runaways as baryons are absent, and directions with tachyonic dual squarks are naturally stabilized (to give local minima) by quartic tree-level SUSY potentials. |
