Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict minicharged particles to which current and near future low-energy experiments are highly sensitive. Such minicharges arise generically from kinetic mixing in theories containing at least two U(...

SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum (2007)
Journal Article
Abel, S. A., Chu, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. V. (2007). SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(01), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/01/089

Supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum is re-examined in a cosmological context. It is shown that thermal effects generically drive the Universe to the metastable minimum even if it begins in the supersymmetry-preserving one. This is a generic...
