A light neutralino in hybrid models of supersymmetry breaking

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that in gauge mediation models where heavy messenger masses are provided by the adjoint Higgs field of an underlying SU (5) theory, a generalized gauge mediation spectrum arises with the characteristic feature of having a neutralino LSP much lighter than in the standard gauge or gravity mediation schemes. This naturally fits in a hybrid scenario where gravity mediation, while subdominant with respect to gauge mediation, provides μ and Bμ parameters of the appropriate size for electroweak symmetry breaking.
