Abstract

We study string realizations of split extended supersymmetry, recently proposed in hep-ph/0507192. Supersymmetry is broken by small (ϵ\epsilon ) deformations of intersection angles of DD-branes giving tree-level masses of order m02ϵMs2m_0^2\sim \epsilon M_s^2, where MsM_s is the string scale, to localized scalars. We show through an explicit one-loop string amplitude computation that gauginos acquire hierarchically smaller Dirac masses m1/2Dm02/Msm_{1/2}^D \sim m_0^2/M_s. We also evaluate the one-loop Higgsino mass, μ\mu, and show that, in the absence of tree-level contributions, it behaves as μm04/Ms3\mu\sim m_0^4/M_s^3. Finally we discuss an alternative suppression of scales using large extra dimensions. The latter is illustrated, for the case where the gauge bosons appear in N=4 representations, by an explicit string model with Standard Model gauge group, three generations of quarks and leptons and gauge coupling unification.
