Mu problem
In theoretical physics, the μ problem is a problem of supersymmetric theories, concerned with understanding the parameters of the theory.
Background
The supersymmetric Higgs mass parameter μ appears as the following term in the superpotential: μ Hu Hd . It is necessary to provide a mass for the fermionic superpartners of the Higgs bosons, i.e. the higgsinos, and it enters as well the scalar potential of the Higgs bosons.
To ensure that Hu and Hd get a non-zero
Before
One proposed solution, known as the Giudice–Masiero mechanism,[2] is that this term does not appear explicitly in the Lagrangian, because it violates some global symmetry, and can therefore be created only via spontaneous breaking of this symmetry. This is proposed to happen together with F-term supersymmetry breaking, with a spurious field X that parameterizes the hidden supersymmetry-breaking sector of the theory (meaning that FX is the non-zero F-term).
Let us assume that the
