Description
We construct a model with long-lived metastable vacua in which all the
relevant parameters, including the supersymmetry breaking scale, are
generated dynamically by dimensional transmutation. Our model consists
of two sectors coupled by a singlet and combines dynamical supersymmetry
breaking with an O'Raifeartaigh mechanism in terms of confined variables.
The metastable vacua appear along a pseudo-runaway direction near a point
of enhanced symmetry as a result of a balance between non-perturbative
and perturbative quantum effects. We show that metastable supersymmetry
breaking is a rather generic feature near certain enhanced symmetry points
of gauge theory moduli spaces.
