  Soft SUSY breaking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In theoretical physics, soft SUSY breaking is type of supersymmetry breaking that does not cause ultraviolet divergences to appear in scalar masses.
Soft SUSY breaking was proposed in 1981 by Howard Georgi and Savas Dimopoulos.
Soft SUSY breaking decouples the origin of supersymmetry breaking from its phenomenological consequences.

 Soft SUSY Breaking Terms
Treat the supersymmetry breaking mechanism as a fl box, but based on the experience with gaugino condensation, use that the end result of this mechanism is to induce nonvanishing values to the auxiliary fields of the moduli or dilaton fields.
The general procedure for extracting the soft breaking terms is clear.
For arbitrary mixing angle, the soft breaking terms are not necessarily universal (unless special values of the modular weights are taken).

It adds supersymmetry breaking by introducing explicit soft supersymmetry breaking operators into the Lagrangian that is communciated to it by some unknown (and unspecified) dynamics.
To avoid these problems, the MSSM takes all of the soft susy breaking to be diagonal in flavor space and for all of the new CP violating phases to vanish.
In this ansatz, all of the squark and slepton soft masses are assumed to be the same at the GUT scale and to not violate flavor.

 Supersymmetry - ExampleProblems.com
Either we assume the vacuum is degenerate and SUSY is broken spontaneously, or we add soft SUSY breaking terms which break SUSY explicitly, making it an approximate symmetry.
SUSY quantum mechanics involves pairs of Hamiltonians which share a particular mathematical relationship, which are called partner Hamiltonians.
In addition, SUSY has been applied to non-quantum statistical mechanics through the Fokker-Planck equation, showing that even if the original inspiration in high-energy particle physics turns out to be a blind alley, its investigation has brought about many useful benefits.

 Supersymmetry breaking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In particle physics, supersymmetry breaking is the process to obtain a seemingly non-supersymmetric physics from a supersymmetric theory which is a necessary step to reconcile supersymmetry with actual experiments.
It is an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
The superpartners whose mass would otherwise be equal to the mass of the regular particles in the absence of the SUSY breaking become much heavier.

 Supersymmetry breaking
More precisely, to break SUSY - and it is not *qualitatively* different from a spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry, for example - you need two things: a source of the SUSY breaking and a messenger that communicates it.
This breaking should be thought of as a complete analogue of the Higgs breaking of the electroweak symmetry.
The problem then is to keep the cosmological constant very small after the supersymmetry breaking - and not of the expected order m^4 where m is the SUSY breaking scale.

The supersymmetric version of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model is investigated in connection with the chiral symmetry breaking induced by a soft SUSY breaking term.
It is found that the broken chiral symmetry due to the soft breaking term is restored at suitably high temperature and the symmetry restoration occurs as first-order phase transitions.
The critical temperature at which the chiral symmetry is restored is determined as a function of the strength of the soft breaking term and the field coupling constant.

 Scenarios for SUSY Breaking
For breaking supersymmetry at low energies, we expect that a field theoretical effect should be dominant in order to generate the hierarchy of scales (it is hard to believe that a nonperturbative effect at the Planck scale could generate the Weinberg-Salam scale).
101], since the existence of the conformal anomaly is enough to communicate the breaking of supersymmetry to the observable sector.
Therefore, there is not yet a compelling scenario for supersymmetry breaking and the field remains open, but now we have a much better perspective on the relevant issues.

Theoretical constraints on the soft SUSY breaking parameters from a high scale theory are imposed and the parameters at the electroweak scale are obtained from the high scale parameters by evaluating the corresponding renormalization group equations.
The second issue is to use the obtained masses and couplings for calculating decay widths and branching ratios of supersymmetric particles as well as the cross sections for these particles in electron positron annihilation.
The third issue is to calculate the following low energy constraints: the branching ratio for b ->sgamma, the SUSY contributions to the rho parameter as well as the SUSY contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

Soft SUSY-breaking scenarios constrain SUSY particle masses to lie in the TeV-range, and thus within the discovery range of present and future hadron colliders, such as the Fermilab Tevatron or the CERN LHC.
Physical masses and mixing angles are calculated with renormalization group equations, linking the restricted set of SUSY breaking parameters at the gauge coupling unification scale to the complete set of SUSY observables at the electroweak scale.
The precise knowledge of the q_T-spectrum is of vital importance for the SUSY particles, since it can be useful for the reconstruction of their masses, or the determination of their spin.

 MSSM
Supersymmetry (SUSY) - a symmetry under interchange of bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom - provides an elegant solution to the hierarchy problem, and has long been considered one of the most promising new physics scenarios among various possibilities.
Quadratically divergent radiative corrections to the Higgs mass arising from a given particle are cancelled by the corresponding superpartner contributions.
This non-degeneracy implies that if SUSY exists, it cannot be an exact symmetry of nature and that there exist so-called "soft SUSY-breaking" interactions that split the masses of SM particles and their superpartners.

Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of Soft SUSY breaking
In theoretical physics, soft SUSY breaking is a supersymmetry breaking by the special kind of terms that do not invalidate certain desirable features of supersymmetry, such as the Bose-Fermi cancellation of the ultraviolet divergences contributing to the mass of the Higgs boson.
Soft SUSY breaking is usually studied as an explicit symmetry breaking, i.e.

 Soft SUSY breaking and family symmetry
It also gives a new solution to the SUSY flavour problem by ensuring near family degeneracy of the soft mass SUSY breaking terms.
However the need to generate large third generation fermion masses means that the group must be strongly broken to SU(2) giving significant corrections to the third family squark and slepton masses.
We investigate the phenomenological implications of such breaking and show that it leads to new solutions capable of fitting all present experimental measurements and bounds as well as the dark matter abundance.

 Oblique Parameters
These results are to be compared with the predictions of various scenarios for the mediation of SUSY breaking from the hidden to the observable sector.
For example, in the minimal supergravity model with universal soft SUSY breaking terms, there are regions of parameter space in which T can be as large as 0.20, so they have to be excluded.
Of course, there are in general also (smaller) contributions to S and U, as well as non-oblique corrections, so much more parameter space can be excluded than what is suggested by the constraint (58).

In string compactification preserving N=1 SUSY, moduli fields (including the string dilaton) are plausible candidates for the messenger of SUSY breaking at low energy scales.
In a scenario that moduli-mediated SUSY breaking is significant, the pattern of soft SUSY breaking terms depends crucially on how moduli are stabilized.
I discuss the correspondence between the pattern of soft terms and the moduli stabilization mechanism within the framework of 4D effective supergravity which is generalized to include SUSY-breaking uplifting potential in a fully consistent manner.

In supersymetric models with gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, universality of soft SUSY breaking scalar masses is motivated by the need to suppress unwanted flavor changing or $CP$ violating processes.
The motivation, however, does not apply to soft breaking Higgs masses, which may in general have independent masses from matter scalars at the GUT scale.
We explore the consequences of both the one-parameter and two-parameter non-universal Higgs mass models (NUHM1 and NUHM2).
