Meta-Stable Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking Near Points of Enhanced Symmetry

Understand

We show that metastable supersymmetry breaking is generic near certain enhanced symmetry points of gauge theory moduli spaces.

• Our model consists of two sectors coupled by a singlet and combines dynamical supersymmetry breaking with an O'Raifeartaigh mechanism in terms of confined variables.
• All relevant mass parameters, including the supersymmetry breaking scale, are generated dynamically.
• The metastable vacua appear as a result of a balance between non-perturbative and perturbative quantum effects along a pseudo-runaway direction.
