Gravity dual and CERN LHC study of single-sector supersymmetry breaking

Abstract

We propose a gravitational dual of "single-sector" models of supersymmetry breaking which contain no messenger sector and naturally explain the scale of supersymmetry breaking and the fermion mass hierarchy. In five dimensions these models can be given a simple interpretation. Inspired by flux-background solutions of type IIB supergravity, a metric background that deviates from AdS5 in the IR breaks supersymmetry, while the fermion mass hierarchy results from the wave function overlap of bulk fermions with a UV-confined Higgs field. The first and second generation squarks and sleptons, which are localized near the IR brane, directly feel the supersymmetry breaking and obtain masses of order ..
