We carry out a detailed analysis of the nonminimal supersymmetric standard model with lepton number violation. The model contains a unique trilinear lepton number violating term in the superpotential which can give rise to neutrino masses…
A minimal particle content supersymmetric model with a discrete Z_3 symmetry, allowing lepton number violating terms, is studied. Within this model, the neutrino masses and mixing can be generated by lepton number violating couplings.…
Supersymmetric Standard Model has been built to solve the hierarchy problem which is encountered whenever Standard Model is incorporated into a theory with a larger mass scale. Experimentally, one of the first signals of physics beyond…
Cosmological constraints on grand unified theories with spontaneous lepton number violation are analysed. We concentrate on $SO(10)$, the simplest of the models possessing this property. It has been noted previously that the consistency of…
Mixing between bosons that transform differently under the standard model gauge group, but identically under its unbroken subgroup, can induce interactions that violate the total lepton number. We discuss four-fermion operators that mediate…
We consider the most general supersymmetric model with minimal particle content and an additional discrete Z_3 symmetry (instead of R-parity), which allows lepton number violating terms and results in non-zero Majorana neutrino masses. We…
We study the minimal type-III seesaw model in which we extend the SM by adding two $SU(2)_L$ triplet fermions with zero hypercharge to explain the origin of the non-zero neutrino masses. We show that the naturalness conditions and the…
Within the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), we use a hierarchical ansatz for the lepton-number violating trilinear Yukawa couplings by relating them to the corresponding Higgs-Yukawa couplings. This ansatz…
Recent results of neutrino oscillation experiments point to a nonvanishing neutrino mass. Neutrino mass models favour Majorana-type neutrinos. In such circumstances it is natural that the supersymmetric counterpart of the neutrino, the…
The parity solution to the strong CP problem necessarily extends the Standard Model to include the SU$(2)_{\rm R}$ gauge sector and imposes restrictions on the structure of the Yukawa interactions. In this framework, one can consider an…
The discovery of neutrino masses has raised the importance of studies in the context of neutrinoless double beta decay, which constitutes a landmark for lepton number violation. The standard interpretation is that the light massive…
We investigate Supersymmetric models where neither R parity nor lepton number is imposed. Neutrino masses can be kept highly suppressed compared to the electroweak scale if the $\mu$-terms in the superpotential are aligned with the…
We review a recently proposed framework in which the neutrino mass is a signal of supersymmetry breaking and is suppressed dynamically. In addition, we briefly comment on some possible consequences of general lepton-number violation in…
In the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, nonzero neutrino masses and mixing can be generated through renormalizable lepton number (and thus R-parity) violating operators. It is examined whether neutrino mass matrices…
We consider the possibility of simultaneously addressing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the dark matter problem and the neutrino mass generation in minimal extensions of the Standard Model via sterile fermions with (small) total…
Supersymmetric standard model with softly broken lepton symmetry provides a suitable framework to accommodate the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies. This model contains a natural explanation for large mixing and hierarchal masses…
In realistic supersymmetric models, very small hard supersymmetry breaking terms generally appear. Some of them violate baryon and/or lepton number. We discuss their possible applications to proton decay and generation of neutrino masses.
Working within the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we compare current bounds from quark flavor changing processes with current and upcoming bounds on lepton flavor violation. We assume supersymmetry breaking…
We perform a quantitative study of neutrino phenomenology in the framework of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) with grand unified theory (GUT)-scale tri-linear lepton number violation. We show that only two non-zero GUT scale lepton number…
R-parity violation in the supersymmetric standard model could be the origin of neutrino masses and mixing accounting for the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. More interestingly, this hypothesis may be tested in future colliders…
