mu problem in an extended gauge mediation supersymmetry breaking

Abstract

We study the $μ$ problem and the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking in an extended gauge mediation supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) model, in which the messenger fields are assumed to couple to the different singlet fields due to the discrete symmetry. Since the spectrum of superpartners is modified, the constraint from the $μ$ problem can be relaxed in comparison with the ordinary GMSB at least from the viewpoint of radiative symmetry breaking. We study the consistency of the values of $μ$ and $B_μ$ with the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking and also the mass spectrum of superpartners. We present such a concrete example in a supersymmetric SU(5) unified model which is constructed from a direct product gauge structure by imposing the doublet-triplet splitting.
