Neutrino Mass Effects in a Minimally Extended Supersymmetric Standard Model
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 -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.
