Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Induced by Higher-Derivative Supergravitation in the Electroweak Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We show how spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in the vacuum state of higher-derivative supergravity is transmitted, as explicit soft supersymmetry-breaking terms, to the effective Lagrangian of the standard electroweak model. The general structure of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms is presented and a new scenario for understanding the gauge hierarchy problem, based on the functional form of these terms, is discussed.
