Spontaneous R-Parity Breaking in SUSY Models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-07-10 v2

Abstract

We investigate a mechanism for spontaneous R-parity breaking in a class of extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with an extra Abelian gauge symmetry which is a linear combination of B-L and weak hypercharge. Both U(1)_X and R-parity are broken by the vacuum expectation value of the right-handed sneutrinos which is proportional to the soft SUSY masses. In these models the mechanism for spontaneous R-parity violation can be realized even with positive soft masses. In this context one has a realistic mechanism for generating neutrino masses as well as a realistic spectrum. We briefly discuss the possible collider signals which could be used to test the theory, the contributions for proton decay and the possibility of a gravitino as a dark matter candidate.
