Higgs boson from the meta-stable SUSY breaking sector

We construct a calculable model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs doublet emerges from the meta-stable SUSY breaking sector as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. The Higgs boson mass is further protected by the little Higgs mechanism, and naturally suppressed by a two-loop factor from the SUSY breaking scale of 10 TeV. Gaugino and sfermion masses arise from standard gauge mediation, but the Higgsino obtains a tree-level mass at the SUSY breaking scale. At 1 TeV, aside from new gauge bosons and fermions similar to other little Higgs models and their superpartners, our model predicts additional electroweak triplets and doublets from the SUSY breaking sector.

Spin dependent masses and Sim(2) symmetry

Recently, Cohen and Glashow pointed out that all known experimental tests of relativistic kinematics are consistent with invariance of physics under the four-parameter subgroup Sim(2) of the Lorentz group. The massive one-particle irreducible representations of ISim(2), that is Sim(2) times spacetime translations, are all one-dimensional, labeled by spin along a preferred axis. Consequently particle theories based on this symmetry can accomodate lepton number conserving masses for left-handed neutrinos without the need to introduce sterile states. The same property of massive particle representations, however, also leads to the possibility that particle masses may be split within the diffferent spins of a representation of the ordinary Poincare group. In this article we investigate the low-energy structure of theories with spin dependent masses and comment on the bounds on such effects.
