Abstract

We introduce novel extensions of the Standard Model featuring a supersymmetric technicolor sector. First we consider \(\mathcal{N}=4 \) Super Yang–Mills which breaks to \(\mathcal{N}=1\) via the electroweak (EW) interactions and coupling to the MSSM. This is a well defined, economical and calculable extension of the SM involving the smallest number of fields. It constitutes an explicit example of a natural supersymmetric conformal extension of the Standard Model featuring a well defined connection to string theory. It allows us to interpolate, depending on how we break the underlying supersymmetry, between unparticle physics and Minimal Walking Technicolor. As a second alternative we consider other \(\mathcal{N} =1\) extensions of the Minimal Walking Technicolor model. The new models allow all the standard model matter fields to acquire a mass.
