Minimal gaugomaly mediation

Abstract

Mixed anomaly and gauge mediation (\gaugomaly" mediation) gives a natural solution to the SUSY avor problem with a conventional LSP dark matter candidate. We present a minimal version of gaugomaly mediation where the messenger masses arise directly from anomaly mediation, automatically generating a messenger scale of order 50 TeV. We also describe a simple relaxation mechanism that gives rise to realistic μ and Bμ terms. B is naturally dominated by the anomaly-mediated contribution from top loops, so the μ-Bμ sector only depends on a single new parameter. In the minimal version of this scenario the full SUSY spectrum is determined by two continuous parameters (the anomaly- and gauge-mediated SUSY breaking masses) and one discrete parameter (the number of messengers). We show that these simple models can give realistic spectra with viable dark matter.
