The gravitino in gaugino mediation

We show that for gaugino mediated supersymmetry breaking the gravitino mass is bounded from below. For a size of the compact dimensions of order the unification scale and a cutoff given by the higher-dimensional Planck mass, we find m3/2≳10GeV. In a large domain of parameter space, the gravitino is the lightest superparticle with a scalar τ˜-lepton as the next-to-lightest superparticle.
