Universal Soft Terms in the MSSM on D-branes

Abstract

In Type II string vacua constructed from intersecting/magnetized D-branes, the supersymmetry-breaking soft terms are genericaly non-universal. It is shown that universal supersymmetry-breaking soft terms may arise in a realistic MSSM constructed from intersecting/magnetized D-branes in Type II string theory. For the case of dilaton-dominated supersymmetry-breaking, it is shown that the universal scalar mass and trilinear coupling are fixed such that $m_0=(1/2)m_{3/2}$ and $A_0 = - m_{1/2}$. In addition, soft terms where the universal scalar mass $m_0$ is much larger than the universal gaugino mass $m_{1/2}$ may be easily obtained within the model, corresponding to the Focus Point (FP)/Hyperbolic Branch (HB) regions of the mSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space. Finally, it is shown that the special dilaton and no-scale strict moduli boundary conditions, which are well-known in heterotic string constructions, may also be obtained.
