4 gauge mediation: natural suppression of flavour changing processes, works in the flat limit but: light gravitino, problematic c.c. cancellation, problems with correct electroweak breaking gauge and gravity mediation - can one mix them arbitrarily? or: to what extent the hidden sector needs to be separated from the observable one? degree of cosmological tuning?

19 Conditions for thermal equilibrium Messengers: σvn α SM T T up GeV T q m q /20 δw = λsq q λ 2 S 2 q 2 T λ 2 S 2 T 2

20 Spurion: For T > m q the thermally averaged cross section for 2-2 processes with two spurions is of the order of equilibrium possible below Γ int =< σvn > T λ4 α 2 16π 2 T T eq λ4 α 2 16π 2 g = O(10 3 )λ 4 α 2 for T < m q, the thermalization could also be achieved and the relevant averaged cross section becomes σvn T α 2 λ 4 T 5 /m 4 q This gives a lower bound for the equilibrium window For the case of mixed gauge/gravity mediation spurion doesn t achieve equilibrium

24 Moving vacua around W = µ 2 S λsq q ± Mq q + c In the global susy the theory has a susy minimum at and a susy breaking minimum at S = M λ, q q = µ2 λ, In sugra hence S = q = q =0 V 0 2cµ 2 (S + S )+4µ 4 S 2 Λ 2 S cλ 2 /(2µ 2 )

26 Moduli at finite temperature scaling by moduli dependent factors: λ λe K(T, T )/2 µ 2 µ 2 e K(T, T )/2 c ce K(T, T )/2 Λ Λ e K(T, T )/2 where e.g. e K(T, T )/2 = 1 (T + T ) 3/2 all critical temperatures are moduli independent e.g. T c = µ λ µek/4 λ e K/2

27 Backreaction of the temperature effects on moduli V tot (t) =V 0 + V T emp + F (T,g 2 = 1 2t ) V tot = 2 (t t 0 ) (S 2 +2q 2 )λ 2 T 2 (2t) π2 T 4 24 a 2 2t where = 1 N e t/n, a 2 3N 3 8π 2 conditions: V tot = 0 and t t 0 t 0 give new critical temperature T : 2 t 0 = 3 16t 4 (S 2 +2q 2 )λ 2 T 2 + π2 a t 2 T 4 0 additional condition: T R <T

28 Summary Thermalization usually makes metastable supersymmetry breaking cosmologically disfavoured Biased initial conditions and low reheating temperature help to drive the system towards the susy breaking vacuum Cosmological history of susy breakdown is rather sensitive to the nature of the hidden/ transmission sectors
