A large mass hierarchy can be achieved while maintaining the normal sparticle spectra if there is a direction in which the tree level potential becomes flat when a particular Yukawa coupling vanishes. We describe the conditions needed for the desired breaking pattern, to avoid unwanted global symmetries, and for an acceptable effective mu parameter. The electroweak breaking is dominated by A terms rather than scalar masses, leading to tan beta ~ 1. The spectrum of the symmetry breaking sector is displayed. There is significant mixing between the MSSM particles and new standard model singlets, for both the Higgs scalars and the neutralinos. A larger Yukawa coupling for the effective mu parameter is allowed than in the NMSSM because of the U(1)' contribution to the running from a high scale. The upper bound on the tree-level mass of the lightest CP even Higgs doublet mass is about c x 174 GeV, where c is of order unity, but the actual mass eigenvalues are generally smaller because of singlet mixing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-30T21:02:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "12.60.Cn" ], "keywords": [ "supersymmetric model", "effective mu parameter", "large mass hierarchy", "normal sparticle spectra", "tree level potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
