  From a theoretical point of view it is not hard to imagine gaugino masses
being much lighter than scalar masses. The dominant contributions to gaugino
masses are then their anomaly-mediated values. Given current lower bounds on
gauginos, which are near the W-mass scale, considering a little hierarchy
between weak-scale gauginos and much heavier scalars requires suspending normal
intuition on finetuning and naturalness of the Higgs potential. Nevertheless,
tantalizing perks come from the hypothesis: lessened flavor and CP violation
problems, more compatibility with gauge coupling unification and third
generation Yukawa unification, suppressed dimension-five proton decay
operators, and no problems satisfying the current Higgs mass constraint for any
value of tan(beta) consistent with the top and bottom Yukawa couplings
remaining finite up to the grand unified scale. The Tevatron has little chance
of finding any evidence of this theory given current constraints. The LHC does
well looking for pair production of gluinos which three-body decay into
potentially spectacular final states. Dark matter relic abundance can be
cosmologically interesting, but table-top experiments will not see LSPs
scattering off nucleons. On the other hand, experiments looking for
monochromatic photons from LSP annihilations in the galactic halo may find
them.
