Abstract
We show that near the edges of the conformal window of supersymmetric SU(Nc) QCD, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB), chiral symmetry can be broken depending on the initial conditions of the RG flow. We do so by perturbatively expanding around Banks-Zaks fixed points and taking advantage of Seiberg duality. Interpolating between the edges of the conformal window, we predict that non-supersymmetric QCD breaks chiral symmetry up to Nf ≤ 3Nc − 1, while we cannot say anything definitive for Nf ≥ 3Nc at this moment.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is to ensure fast and efficient online publication tools to the scientific community, while keeping that community in charge of every aspect of the peer-review and publication process in order to ensure the highest quality standards in the journal.
Consequently, the Advisory and Editorial Boards, composed of distinguished, active scientists in the field, jointly establish with the Scientific Director the journal''s scientific policy and ensure the scientific quality of accepted articles.
JHEP presently encompasses the following areas of theoretical and experimental physics:
Collider Physics
Underground and Large Array Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Gauge Field Theories
Symmetries
String and Brane Theory
General Relativity and Gravitation
Supersymmetry
Mathematical Methods of Physics
Mostly Solvable Models
Astroparticles
Statistical Field Theories
Mostly Weak Interactions
