Radion Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking
Abstract
We point out that in supersymmetric theories with extra dimensions, radius stabilization can give rise to a VEV for the F component of the radius modulus. This gives an important contribution to supersymmetry breaking of fields that propagate in the bulk. A particularly attractive class of models is obtained if the standard-model gauge fields propagate in the bulk, while the quark and lepton fields are localized on a brane. This leads to gaugino mediated supersymmetry breaking without the need for singlets in the hidden sector. We analyze a simple explicit model in which this idea is realized.
