Description
We study SUSY gauge theories exhibiting true confinement after introducing anomaly mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB), focusing on the resulting vacuum structure and symmetry breaking as the theories become non-SUSY. The UV insensitivity of AMSB allows us to use known low energy effective theories even in strongly coupled regimes. We analyze several examples and find that vacuum branches with an ADS-type superpotential are selected, leading to the breaking of discrete or flavor symmetries. We further study that a phase transition occurs between the SUSY vacua and the AMSB vacua, whereas the AMSB vacua may connect continuously to the ordinary non-SUSY theory without a phase transition.
