SUPERSYMMETRIC MODELS WITH A GAUGE SINGLET AND NONUNIVERSAL SOFT TERMS FROM ORBIFOLD STRING THEORY

The particle spectrum of the supersymmetric extension of the standard model with a gauge singlet is studied. Soft supersymmetry breaking terms are explicitly chosen to be non-universal according to orbifold string theory. They depend on modular weights of chiral fields and on an angle theta specifying the supersymmetry breaking sector. Imposing radiative weak symmetry breaking and requiring that standard model Yukawa couplings should be allowed yield constraints on modular weights and almost specifies the angle theta. We then perform a numerical analysis of the low energy spectrum. It turns out that the spectrum is very constrained, revealing salient features such as light Higgses and neutralinos. The latter happen to be essentially gaugino-like.
