Abstract: In recent years we have used Anomaly-mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB) to obtain exact results about the strongly-coupled phases of many non-SUSY gauge theories. Particularly interesting is the application to gauge theories for which an analogy with known results in QCD is not available. I will explain how these results can be used for novel dark matter model building. First I will give examples where AMSB gives us qualitative information about a theory (symmetry breaking patterns, low-energy d.o.f., etc.) that can be used to inform an effective description of a dark sector. After that, we will take the AMSB scenario as physical and leverage the ability to directly compute phenomenologically relevant quantities (decay constants for example).
