We review the equivalence of two approaches to study theories with gauge fields in extra spatial dimensions, namely the ``4D'' approach (with KK states) and the ``5D'' approach (with matching to the 4D theory at the compactification scale). In particular, we reiterate that there are two different power-law scalings of ``effective'' gauge couplings. In a supersymmetric framework with SUSY breaking in the radius modulus, i.e. the field which fixes the size of the extra dimensions, these two approaches seem to give gaugino masses at loop-level (with a possible enhancement due to large number of Kaluza-Klein states) [1], and tree-level [2], respectively. We show explicitly how this discrepancy can be resolved. |
