We assess the question whether the SLED (Supersymmetric Large ExtraDimensions) model admits phenomenologically viable solutions with 4D maximalsymmetry. We take into account a finite brane width and a scale invariance (SI)breaking dilaton-brane coupling, both of which should be included in arealistic setup. Provided that the microscopic size of the brane is not tunedmuch smaller than the fundamental bulk Planck length, we find that either the4D curvature or the size of the extra dimensions is unacceptably large. Sincethis result is independent of the dilaton-brane couplings, it provides thebiggest challenge to the SLED program. In addition, to clarify its potential with respect to the cosmologicalconstant problem, we infer the amount of tuning on model parameters required toobtain a sufficiently small 4D curvature. A first answer was recently given in[arXiv:1508.01124], showing that 4D flat solutions are only ensured in the SIcase by imposing a tuning relation, even if a brane-localized flux is included.In this companion paper, we find that the tuning can in fact be avoided forcertain SI breaking brane-dilaton couplings, but only at the price of worseningthe phenomenological problem. Our results are obtained by solving the full coupled Einstein-dilaton systemin a completely consistent way. The brane width is implemented using awell-known ring regularization. In passing, we note that for the couplingsconsidered here the results of [arXiv:1508.01124] (which only treatedinfinitely thin branes) are all consistently recovered in the thin brane limit,and how this can be reconciled with the concerns about their correctness,recently brought up in [arXiv:1509.04201].
