Abstract
We discuss a series of models which mediate supersymmetry breaking through a small (L≪TeV^<-1>) extra dimension. We begin with a review of the supersymmetric flavor problem. We then briefly describe anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking, gaugino-mediated supersymmetry breaking and gaugino-assisted anomaly mediation and discuss the relevant merits of each. We then describe a specific theory of Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking and show that it is equivalent to (after a field redefinition) a theory where the radion superfield has a non-zero F term, thus connecting it with theories with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. Finally we discuss gaugino mediation in the context of a "deconstructed" extra dimension.
