Deflected Mirage Mediation: A Framework for Generalized Supersymmetry Breaking

TL;DR

A general phenomenological framework for dialing between gravity mediation, gauge mediation, and anomaly mediation is presented, which provides a rich setting in which to explore generalized supersymmetry breaking at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

Abstract

We present a general phenomenological framework for dialing between gravity mediation, gauge mediation, and anomaly mediation. The approach is motivated from recent developments in moduli stabilization, which suggest that gravity mediated terms can be effectively loop suppressed and thus comparable to gauge and anomaly mediated terms. The gauginos exhibit a mirage unification behavior at a "deflected" scale, and gluinos are often the lightest colored sparticles. The approach provides a rich setting in which to explore generalized supersymmetry breaking at the LHC.
