Singlet extensions of the MSSM with \(\mathbb{Z}_4^R\) symmetry (Q2363944)

Summary: We discuss singlet extensions of the MSSM with \(\mathbb{Z}_4^R\) symmetry. We show that holomorphic zeros can avoid a potentially large coefficient of the term linear in the singlet. The emerging model has both an effective \(\mu\) term and a supersymmetric mass term for the singlet \(\mu_N\) which are controlled by the gravitino mass. The \(\mu\) term turns out to be suppressed against \(\mu_N\) by about one or two orders of magnitude. We argue that this class of models might provide us with a solution to the little hierarchy problem of the MSSM.
