%0 Journal Article %T Model-Independent Analysis of Soft Terms in Effective Supergravity and in String Theory %A Vadim Kaplunovsky %A Jan Louis %J Physics %D 1993 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/0370-2693(93)90078-V %X We discuss supersymmetry breakdown in effective supergravities such as emerge in the low-energy limit of superstring theory. Without specifying the precise trigger of the breakdown, we analyse the soft parameters in the Lagrangian of the supersymmetrized Standard Model. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9303040v1
