Abstract

We investigate local supersymmetry-breaking vacua in s-confining theories with gauge group Sp(2N). By adapting the general recipe developed by Shadmi and Shirman, we construct a realistic model based on dynamics of SQCD coupled with singlets which allows a spontaneously broken supersymmetry. Since the chiral superfields in model have R-charges R = 0 and R = 2 only, the tedious computations of Coleman-Weinberg potential can be greatly alleviated from the lesson of David Shih. We observe that the pseudomoduli fields are stabilized at the origin of moduli space at one-loop order with calculability being preserved.
