          Abstract

          We introduce a new model of supersymmetry breaking dominated by anomaly mediation. It has a viable spectrum, successful electroweak symmetry breaking, solves the mu-problem and maintains the anomaly-mediated form for soft-masses down to low energies thus solving the flavor problem. The model consists of the minimal supersymmetric standard model plus a singlet, anomaly-mediated soft masses and a dirac mass which marries the bino to the singlet. We describe a large class of models in the UV which can produce such boundary conditions. The dirac mass does not affect the so-called "UV insensitivity" of the other soft parameters to running or supersymmetric thresholds and thus flavor physics at intermediate scales would not reintroduce the flavor problem. The dirac bino is integrated out at a few TeV and produces {\it finite and positive} contributions to all hyper-charged scalars at one loop thus producing positive squared slepton masses. The theory predicts some CP violation in the Higgs sector leading to a correlation between the spectra to be seen at the LHC and electric dipole moments within experimental reach in the near future.

          A Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension

          We propose a new higher-dimensional mechanism for solving the Hierarchy Problem. The Weak scale is generated from a large scale of order the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy. However, this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric (which is a slice of AdS_5 spacetime). This mechanism relies on the existence of only a single additional dimension. We demonstrate a simple explicit example of this mechanism with two three-branes, one of which contains the Standard Model fields. The experimental consequences of this scenario are new and dramatic. There are fundamental spin-2 excitations with mass of weak scale order, which are coupled with weak scale as opposed to gravitational strength to the standard model particles. The phenomenology of these models is quite distinct from that of large extra dimension scenarios; none of the current constraints on theories with very large extra dimensions apply.

            New limit on the electron electric dipole moment.

            We present the result of our most recent search for T violation in 205Tl, which is interpreted in terms of an electric dipole moment of the electron d(e). We find d(e) = (6.9 +/- 7.4)x10(-28)e cm, which yields an upper limit /d(e)/ < or = 1.6x10(-27)e cm with 90% confidence. The present apparatus is a major upgrade of the atomic beam magnetic-resonance device used to set the previous limit on d(e).

              New Tools for Low Energy Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking

              , , (2009)
              We report the construction of large new classes of models which break supersymmetry dynamically. We then turn to model building. Two of the principal obstacles to constructing simple models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking are the appearance of Fayet-Iliopoulos D terms and difficulties in generating a \(\mu\) term for the Higgs fields. Among the new models are examples in which symmetries prevent the appearance of Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. A gauge singlet field, that may play a role in explaining the hierarchy in quark and lepton parameters, can generate a suitable \(\mu\) term. The result is a comparatively simple model, with a low energy structure similar to that of the MSSM, but with far fewer arbitrary parameters. We begin the study of the phenomenology of these models.
