Neutrino Mass Effects in a Minimally Extended Supersymmetric Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-25 v2

Abstract

We consider an extension of the supersymmetric standard model which includes singlet Higgs superfield representations (in three generations) to generate neutrino masses via the see-saw mechanism. The resulting theory may then exhibit R-parity violation in the couplings of the singlets, inducing RR-parity violating effective interactions among the standard model superfields, as well as inducing decay of the lightest neutralino, which otherwise would compose a stable LSP. We compute the rates for the resulting neutralino decays, depending on the particular superpotential couplings responsible for the violation of R-parity. We compare to astrophysical constraints on the decay of massive particles.
