Description
We explore analytically how does the Standard Model emerge as the quantum low energy effective theory of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the decoupling limit where the sparticles are much heavier than the electroweak scale. In this work we integrate the sfermions to one-loop and compute their contributions to the effective action for standard electroweak gauge bosons. A proof of decoupling of sfermions is performed by analyzing the resulting effective action in the asymptotic limit $m_{\tilde f} \gg m_z$. A discussion on how the decoupling takes place in terms of both the sparticle physical masses and the non-physical MSSM parameters is included.
