We consider supersymmetry breaking models in which the MSSM is extended to include an additional chiral adjoint field for each gauge group with which the the MSSM gauginos acquire Dirac masses. We investigate a framework in which the Standard Model gauge fields propagate in the bulk of a warped extra dimension while quarks and leptons are localized on the ultraviolet brane. The adjoint fields are localized on the infrared brane, where supersymmetry is broken in a hidden sector. This setup naturally suppresses potentially large flavor violating effects, while allowing perturbative gauge coupling unification under SU(5) to be realized. The Standard Model superpartner masses exhibit a supersoft spectrum. Since the soft scalar masses are generated at very low scales of order the gaugino masses these models are significantly less fine-tuned than other supersymmetric models. The LSP in this class of models is the gravitino, while the NLSP is the stau. We show that this theory has an approximate R symmetry under which the gauginos are charged. This symmetry allows several possibilities for experimentally distinguishing the Dirac nature of the gauginos.
