Making Neutrinos Massive with an Axion in Supersymmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) of particle interactions is extended to include three singlet (right-handed) neutrino superfields together with three other singlet superfields. The resulting theory is assumed to be invariant under an anomalous global U(1) (Peccei-Quinn) symmetry with one fundamental mass m2m_2. The soft breaking of supersymmetry at the TeV scale is shown to generate an axion scale faf_a of order m2m_2. Neutrino masses are generated by faf_a according to the usual seesaw mechanism.
