Suppressing the $\mu$ and neutrino masses by a superconformal force
Abstract
The idea of Nelson and Strassler to obtain a power law suppression of parameters by a superconformal force is applied to understand the smallness of the parameter and neutrino masses in R-parity violating supersymmetric standard models. We find that the low-energy sector should contain at least another pair of Higgs doublets, and that a suppression of for the parameter and neutrino masses can be achieved generically. The superpotential of the low-energy sector happens to possess an anomaly-free discrete R-symmetry, either or , which naturally suppresses certain lepton-flavor violating processes, the neutrinoless double beta decays and also the electron electric dipole moment. We expect that the escape energy of the superconformal sector is O(10) TeV so that this sector will be observable at LHC. Our models can accommodate to a large mixing among neutrinos and give the same upper bound of the lightest Higgs mass as the minimal supersymmetric standard model.
