Electroweak symmetry breaking by strong supersymmetric dynamics at the TeVscale - art. no. 075001

We construct models in which electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken b y supersymmetric strong dynamics at the TeV scale. The order parameter is a composite of scalers, and the longitudinal components of the W and Z are s trongly coupled bound states of scalars. The usual phenomenological problem s of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking are absent: the sign of the S parameter unconstrained in strongly interacting SUSY theories, and fermion masses are generated without flavor-changing neutral currents or large corr ections to the rho parameter. The lightest neutral Higgs scalar can be heav ier than M-Z without radiative corrections from standard-model fields. Ail the mass scales in the model can be naturally related in low-scale models o f supersymmetry breaking. The mu problem can also be solved naturally, and the model can incorporate perturbative unification of standard-model gauge couplings with intermediate thresholds.
