The hidden sector of the E8×E′8 heterotic superstring theory of Gross et al. can in principle contain additional "shadow" matter, interacting only gravitationally with the real world in which we live. The SU (3)′ C × SU (2)′ L × U (1)′ Y shadow configuration symmetric to the standard model has been ruled out by Kolb et al. from nucleosynthesis arguments, combined with the existence of three light neutrinos. In the absence of inflation and of entropy enhancement by the out-of-equilibrium decay of an unstable particle, the same exclusion applies to the unbroken E′8 hidden gauge group, assuming thermodynamical equilibrium with the observable sector E6 group, and consequently all breaking chains E′8→ G1×G2×⋯, since they can only reduce the effective number of four-dimensional degrees of freedom g eff . The hidden sector would then appear to be in its vacuum state, which implies the absence of all condensates as well, if their potentials are positive semi-definite. In this case, and if there is no anomalous U(1) symmetry in the observable sector, the QCD axion is the model-independent axion, whose decay constant [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is the strong-interaction coupling parameter) requires a fine-tuning of the initial value of this axion field to ai/fa≲3×10-3, in order not to overclose the Universe today, supersymmetry being broken by gauge mediation. Vice versa, if ai/fa~1, then hidden-sector gaugino condensation is necessary for there to be a sufficiently massive gravitino, whose decay can increase the entropy. Astronomical microlensing observations may help to discriminate between these two cases.

Abstract By extending a previously proposed conformal gauge mediation model, we construct a gauge-mediated SUSY breaking (GMSB) model where a SUSY-breaking scale, a messenger mass, the μ-parameter and the gravitino mass in a minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) Standard Model (MSSM) are all explained by a single mass scale, a R-symmetry breaking scale. We focus on a low scale SUSY-breaking scenario with the gravitino mass m3/2 = $$ \mathcal{O}(1)\mathrm{eV} $$ O 1 eV , which is free from the cosmological gravitino problem and relaxes the fine-tuning of the cosmological constant. Both the messenger and SUSY-breaking sectors are subject to a hidden strong dynamics with the conformality above the messenger mass threshold (and hence the name of the model “strongly interacting conformal gauge mediation”). In our model, the Higgs B-term is suppressed and a large tan β is predicted, resulting in the relatively light second CP-even Higgs and the CP-odd Higgs with a sizable production cross section. These Higgs bosons can be tested at future LHC experiments.

In recent years it has been realized that pre-BBN decays of moduli can be a significant source of dark matter production, giving a "nonthermal WIMP miracle" and substantially reduced fine-tuning in cosmological axion physics. We study moduli masses and sharpen the claim that moduli dominated the pre-BBN universe. We conjecture that in any string theory with stabilized moduli there will be at least one modulus field whose mass is of order (or less than) the gravitino mass. Cosmology then generically requires the gravitino mass not be less than about 30 TeV and the cosmological history of the universe is nonthermal prior to BBN. Stable LSP's produced in these decays can account for the observed dark matter if they are "wino-like." We briefly consider implications for the LHC, rare decays, and dark matter direct detection and point out that these results could prove challenging for models attempting to realize gauge mediation in string theory.
