Abstract

We demonstrate, by giving a specific example, that supersymmetry can be left unbroken without running into conflict with observation. The key idea is to employ a discrete form of supersymmetry. Amongst other interesting features, this construction goes roughly half the way in removing the hierarchy between the observed cosmological constant and the vacuum energies expected from field theory.
