Supersymmetry breaking through transparent extra dimensions - art. no. 035010

We propose a new framework for mediating supersymmetry breaking through an extra dimension. It predicts positive scalar masses and solves the supersym metric flavor problem. Supersymmetry breaks on a "source" brane that is spa tially separated from a parallel brane on which the standard model matter f ields and their superpartners live. The gauge and gaugino fields propagate in the bulk, the latter receiving a supersymmetry breaking mass from direct couplings to the source brane. Scalar masses are suppressed at the high sc ale hut are generated via the renormalization group. We briefly discuss the spectrum and collider signals for a range of compactification scales.
