More on massive gravitino scattering amplitudes and the unitarity cutoff of the new Fayet-Iliopoulos terms

Résumé

We extend the $2\rightarrow2$ gravitino scattering amplitude computed in [1] to an arbitrary $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity model of one chiral and one vector multiplet, in a Minkowski background with supersymmetry breaking driven by both $F$- and $D$-terms. We find that the cancellation of the leading term in $\mathcal{O}(\kappa^2 E^4/|m_{3/2}|^2)$, that would lead to a breakdown of perturbative unitarity at a scale $\Lambda\sim M_\mathrm{SUSY}$, is a consequence of the vanishing of the scalar potential at its minimum, which is implied by the flat background. We then analyse the inclusion of the new Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms. We find that, since they modify the scalar potential without contributing to the amplitudes, they generically lead to uncanceled leading terms in the latter and a perturbative cutoff at the supersymmetry breaking scale, except for particular cases where the new FI term does not modify the potential at its minimum and the cutoff is pushed up to the Planck scale.
