Metastable supersymmetry breaking and multitrace deformations of SQCD

Essig, Rouven, Fortin, Jean-Francois, Sinha, Kuver et al.

Understand

Metastable vacua in supersymmetric QCD in the presence of single and multitrace deformations of the superpotential are explored, with the aim of obtaining an acceptable phenomenology.

The metastable vacua appear at one loop, have a broken R-symmetry, and a magnetic gauge group that is completely Higgsed.
With only a single trace deformation, the adjoint fermions from the meson superfield are approximately massless at one loop, even though they are massive at tree level and R-symmetry is broken.
Consequently, if charged under the standard model, they are unacceptably light.
