Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking model with an extra singlet Higgs field - art. no. 013007

We study in some detail the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model w ith gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking. We find that it is feasible to spontaneously generate values of the Higgs boson mass parameters mu and B-mu consistent with radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. The model has a phenomenologically viable particle spectrum. Messenger sneutrinos with a mass in the range 6 to 25 TeV can serve as cold dark matter. It is also po ssible to evade the cosmological domain wall problem in this scenario.
