We consider using broken superconformal symmetry and the super operatorproduct expansion (sOPE) to constrain and analyze hidden sector theories thatcouple to our gauge forces and are not necessarily weakly coupled. Conformaland supersymmetry breaking are IR effects, associated with field or spurionexpectation values, whereas the sOPE is determined in the UV and hence does notnotice the breaking. The broken superconformal symmetry relates OPEcoefficients of superconformal descendant operators to those of thesuperconformal primaries. We apply these ideas to the current correlators ofgeneral gauge mediation (GGM). We also consider analyticity properties of thesecorrelators, e.g. their discontinuities, and use the optical theorem to relatethem to total scattering cross sections from visible to hidden sector states,e.g. sigma(vis + vis --> hidden), analogous to sigma(e+ e- --> hadrons) in QCD.We discuss how the current-current OPE can be truncated to the first few termsto get a good approximation to the visible sector soft masses of GGM.
