Description
We present a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with a gauged SU(2) family symmetry for the leptons. It is shown that this family symmetry can be consistently broken at the TeV scale along with supersymmetry. If supersymmetry breaking is driven by anomaly mediation, this model can provide positive squared masses for the sleptons and thus cure the tachyon problem. We analyze the constraints and consequences of this scenario. A characteristic feature of this model is the non-degeneracy of the first two family sleptons. The model predicts large value of tan(beta) and observable τto e γand B to μ^+ μ^- decay rates.
