Mixing of axino and goldstino, and axino mass    [PDF]

Jihn E. Kim, Min-Seok Seo
Axino, related to the SUSY transformation of axion, can mix with goldstino in principle. This case is realized when some superfields carrying nonvanishing Peccei-Quinn charges develop both scalar VEVs and F-terms. In this case, we present a proper definition of axion and axino. With this definition, we present the QCD axino mass in the most general framework, including non-minimal K\"ahler potential. The axino mass is known to have a hierarchical mass structure depending on accidental symmetries. If $G_A=0$ where $G=K+M_P^2\ln|W|^2$, we obtain $m_{\tilde a}=(1+ \epsilon^2)m_{3/2}$ with the axino-gravitino mixing parameter $\epsilon$ in the K\"ahler potential. For $G_A\ne 0$, the axino mass depends on the details of the K\"ahler potential. In the gauge mediation scenario, the gaugino mass is the dominant axino mass parameter. Therefore, we can take the theoretical QCD axino mass as a free parameter in the study of its cosmological effects, ranging from eV to multi-TeV scales, without a present knowledge on its ultraviolet completion.
