A Simple Model of Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking with Composite Messenger Fields

Abstract

We present a simple model of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking with composite messenger fields. Our model is based on the gauge group $Sp(8)\times SU(2)$. By the strong Sp(8) dynamics, supersymmetry is dynamically broken and the composite fields with charges under the standard model gauge group appear at low energy. The $U(1{)}_R$ symmetry breaking mass terms for the composite fields are generated by the strong SU(2) dynamics. Then, the composite fields play a role of the messenger fields. On the other hand, the theoretical bounds on the parameters in our model are discussed. Especially, the lower bound on the dynamical scale of the $Sp(8)\times SU(2)$ gauge interaction is roughly $10^{15}$ GeV.
