Abstract
In the supersymmetric standard model there exist pure gravity contributions to the soft mass parameters which arise via the superconformal anomaly. We consider the low-energy phenomenology with a mass spectrum dominated by th e anomaly induced contributions. In a well-defined minimal model we calcula te electroweak symmetry breaking parameters, scalar masses, and the full on e-loop splitting of the degenerate Wino states. The most distinctive featur es are gaugino masses proportional to the corresponding gauge coupling beta functions, the possibility of a Wine as the lightest supersymmetric partic le, mass degeneracy of sleptons, and a very massive gravitino. Unique signa tures at high-energy colliders include dilepton and single lepton final sta tes, accompanied by missing energy and displaced vertices. We also point ou t that this scenario has the cosmological advantage of ameliorating the gra vitino problem. Finally, the primordial gravitino decay can produce a relic density of Wine particles close to the critical value. (C) 1999 Elsevier S cience B.V. All rights reserved.
