Abstract

We examine a metastable \( \mathcal{N} = 1 \) macroscopic SO(N) SQCD model of Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS). We introduce various baryon and meson deformations, including multitrace operators and explore embedding an SO(10) parent of the standard model into two weakly gauged avour sectors. Direct fundamental messengers and the symmetric pseudo moduli messenger mediate SUSY breaking to the MSSM. Gaugino and sfermion masses are computed and compared for each deformation type. We also explore Uplifting: reducing the rank of the magnetic quark matrix of the ISS model and find an additional fundamental messenger.
