Flavor, Compositeness, and Dynamical Breaking of Supersymmetry

We should be taking advantage of recent gains in our nonperturbative understanding of supersymmetric gauge theories to find the "standard" model of of dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and possibly of flavor as well. As an illustration of the possibilities for understanding the flavor hierarchy, I describe a realistic, renormalizable, supersymmetric model with a compositeness scale of ∼ 1-3 TeV for the top quark, the left handed bottom quark, and the up-type Higgs. The top-Higgs Yukawa coupling is a dynamically generated strong interaction effect, and is naturally large, while the other Yukawa couplings are suppressed.
