Phenomenological Prospects of Noncommutative QED

We study the phenomenological potential of noncommutative QED as obtained from the Seiberg-Witten limit of string theories in the presence of an external B-field. We manage to define the theory free of tachyons by embedding it into {N}=4 noncommutative super Yang-Mills and breaking supersymmetry softly by adding masses to fermions and scalars. However, this requires a fine-tuning of the soft-breaking mass and the resulting theory has massive polarization for the photon.
