Dynamical solution to the mu problem at the TeV scale

Abstract

We introduce a new confining force (mu color) at the TeV scale to dynamically generate a supersymmetry preserving mass scale which would replace the mu parameter in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We discuss Higgs phenomenology and also the pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters allowing correct electroweak symmetry breaking within the mu-color model, which have quite distinctive features from the MSSM and also from other generalizations of the MSSM.
