Abstract

We provide a simple solution to the μ/Bμ\mu/B_\mu problem in the gauge-mediated Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In this model the messenger sector contains one pair of 3+3ˉ3+\bar 3 and one pair of 2+2ˉ2+\bar 2 messengers. These two messenger pairs couple to different gauge singlets in the hidden sector in which supersymmetry (SUSY) is broken. Such a gauge-mediation structure can naturally arise in many backgrounds. Because of the two effective SUSY breaking scales <Fi><Mi>\frac{< F_i>}{< M_i>} in the messenger sector, the renormalization group evolutions of the soft SUSY breaking parameters can be properly modified, leading to a negative enough singlet soft mass square mN2(ΛEW)m_N^2(\Lambda_{EW}) and hence reasonable μ/Bμ\mu/B_\mu values. In most of the perturbative (up to the GUT scale) parameter region, as a result, the electroweak scale is stabilized and phenomenologically interesting mass spectra of particles and superparticles are obtained. In addition, this model favors large values of tanβ\tan\beta: 5505 \sim 50 and a heavy scalar spectrum. With the relatively large tanβ\tan\beta, the light U(1)RU(1)_R pseudoscalar (mainly appearing in the low-scale gauge-mediated SUSY breaking models) becomes extremely singlet-like, and is no longer a problem in this model. These features apply to all cases of low-, intermediate- and high-scale gauge-mediated SUSY breaking.
