Supersymmetry and Scale-Dependent Analysis

Statistical analysis of the supersymmetry breaking scale

We discuss the question of what type and scale of supersymmetry breaking might be statistically favored among vacua of string/M theory, building on comments in Denef and Douglas, hep-th/0404116.

Supersymmetry, Supercurrent, and Scale Invariance

PeV - Scale Supersymmetry

Although supersymmetry has not been seen directly by experiment, there are powerful physics reasons to suspect that it should be an ingredient of nature and that superpartner masses should be somewhat near the weak scale. I present an argument that if we dismiss our ordinary intuition of finetuning, and focus entirely on more concrete physics issues, the PeV scale might be the best place for su...

Weak scale supersymmetry without weak scale supergravity.

It is generally believed that weak scale supersymmetry implies weak scale supergravity, in the sense that the masses of the gravitino and gravitationally coupled moduli have masses below 100 TeV. This Letter presents a realistic framework for supersymmetry breaking in which these masses can be much larger. This solves the cosmological problems of hidden sector models. Supersymmetry breaking is ...
