Exponentially Small Supersymmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions
read the original abstract
The supersymmetric ``shining'' of free massive chiral superfields in extra dimensions from a distant source brane can trigger exponentially small supersymmetry breaking on our brane of order e^{-2 pi R}, where R is the radius of the extra dimensions. This supersymmetry breaking can be transmitted to the superpartners in a number of ways, for instance by gravity or via the standard model gauge interactions. The radius R can easily be stabilized at a size O(10) larger that the fundamental scale. The models are extremely simple, relying only on free, classical bulk dynamics to solve the hierarchy problem.

(Pseudo-)Dirac Gravitinos
Scherk-Schwarz breaking yields a Dirac gravitino whose mixing lacks a local N=1 superspace realization in minimal supergravity and whose matter couplings produce standard scalar thresholds plus UV-dependent Dirac ferm...
