Anomaly mediation and dimensional transmutation

| Summary: | We show how a sparticle spectrum characteristic of anomaly mediation can arise from a theory whose Lagrangian contains no explicit mass scale. The scale of supersymmetry breaking is governed by the gravitino mass, which is the vacuum expectation value of the F-term of the conformal compensator field, and the tachyonic slepton problem is resolved by the breaking of a U1′ gauge symmetry at a scale determined by dimensional transmutation. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
