Phenomenology of deflected anomaly-mediation

We explore the phenomenology of a class of models with anomaly-mediated sup ersymmetry breaking. These models retain the successful flavor properties o f the minimal scenario while avoiding the tachyons. The mass spectrum is pr edicted in terms of a few parameters. However various qualitatively differe nt spectra are possible, often strongly different from the ones usually emp loyed to explore capabilities of new accelerators. One stable feature is th e limited spread of the spectrum, so that squarks and gluinos could be conc eivably produced at TEVII. The Lightest superpartner of standard particles is often a charged slepton or a neutral higgsino. It behaves as a stable pa rticle in collider experiments but it decays at or before nucleosynthesis. We identify the experimental signatures at hadron colliders that can help d istinguish this scenario from the usual ones. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B,V . All rights reserved.
