Title: Duality and Other Exotic Gauge Dynamics in Software Broken Supersymmetric QCD

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/813236· OSTI ID:813236

We analyze the theory of softly broken supersymmetric QCD. Exotic behavior like spontaneously broken baryon number, massless composite fermions and Seiberg's duality seems to persist also in the presence of (small) soft supersymmetry breaking. We argue that certain, specially tailored, lattice simulations may be able to detect the novel phenomena. Most of the exotic behavior does not survive the decoupling limit of large SUSY breaking parameters.
