Soft Terms from Dilaton/Moduli sectors
Abstract
Description
We study the structure of the soft SUSY-breaking terms obtained from large classes of 4-D Strings under the assumption of dilaton/moduli dominance in the process of SUSY-breaking. In particular, we first analyze in detail the dilaton-dominated limit because of its finiteness properties and phenomenological predictivity, and second, we consider the new features appearing when several moduli fields contribute to SUSY breaking. Although some qualitative features indeed change in the multimoduli case with respect to the dilaton dominance one, the most natural mass relations at low-energy $m_l < m_q \simeq M_g$ are still similar. We also study the presence of tachyons pointing out that their possible existence may be, in some cases, an interesting advantage in order to break extra gauge symmetries. Finally, we find that the mechanism for generating a ``$μ$-term'' by the Kähler potential, as naturally implemented in orbifolds, leads to the prediction $|tgβ|=1$ at the String scale, independently of the Goldstino direction. In this connection, it is worth noticing that in the dilaton-dominated case we obtain the remarkable result that the whole SUSY spectrum is completely determined with no free parameters.
