Gaugino Masses from Misaligned Supersymmetry Breaking and R-Symmetry Breaking Spurions

Abstract

In gauge mediation models with multiple spurion fields breaking SUSY and the R-symmetry separately, we show that it is possible to generate gaugino masses in one loop if the R-charge arrangement satisfies a certain condition. The resulting gaugino masses are calculated and suppressed by a power of the messenger’s mass scale. We present two simple examples to demonstrate this possibility and discuss possible phenomenology implications.
