In models of low-energy gauge mediation , the observed Higgs mass is in tension with the cosmological limit on the gravitino mass m _ { 3 / 2 } \lesssim 16 eV . We present an alternative mediation mechanism of supersymmetry breaking via a U ( 1 ) D -term with an E _ { 6 } -inspired particle content , which we call vector mediation . The gravitino mass can be in the eV range . The sfermion masses are at the 10 TeV scale , while gauginos around a TeV . This mechanism also greatly ameliorates the \mu -problem .
