Bethany Suter (UCB) “Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB) for Chiral Gauge Theories”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


Although many methods have been proposed to understand the dynamics of chiral gauge theories, each has its own set of issues. AMSB is a promising new technique that allows one to use the solvability of SUSY chiral theories and translate that in a standard way into non-susy theories. I will discuss how this new method works and apply it to a certain set of chiral gauge theories with fields in the fundamental, antifundamental and antisymmetric representations. I find that this set of theories obtains a stable minima and passes many nontrivial checks such as t ‘Hooft anomaly cancellation.
