SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING IN THE NAMBU-JONA-LASINIO APPROACH
Abstract
Gaugino condensation in the hidden sector of supergravity models is described within a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type of approach by minimization of a one-loop scalar potential. The essential ingredients of the mechanism are auxiliary superfields whose v.e.v. generate gaugino condensation and supersymmetry breaking, introduced through Lagrange multipliers. For phenomenologically acceptable values of the gauge couplings, gaugino condensation is disfavoured in this approach. For completeness, it is shown that supersymmetry breaking would occur for a stronger coupling, but at a scale inconsistent with the expectations.
