Content
The discovery of a standard-model-like Higgs at 126 GeV and the absence of squark signals thus far at the LHC both point towards a mini-split spectrum for supersymmetry, but realizing this spectrum in a simple, concrete model is nontrivial. I will describe a complete model for mini-split supersymmetry based on gauge mediation with the auxiliary group, the group of anomaly-free continuous symmetries of the Standard Model in the limit of vanishing Yukawas. Crucially, this group contains a U(1) factor acting on the Higgs doublets, allowing the generation of Higgs sector soft terms at the correct scale to realize electroweak symmetry breaking. I will present some benchmark spectra obtained from auxiliary gauge mediation, and comment on the role of A- and B-terms both in auxiliary gauge mediation and in the general framework of Higgsed gauge mediation.
