Probing Supersymmetry with Neutral Current Scattering Experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the supersymmetric contributions to the weak charges of the electron (<2Jy) and proton (Q^) in the framework of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We also consider the ratio of neutral current to charged current cross sections, R v and R^ at v (v)-nucleus deep inelastic scattering, and compare the supersymmetric corrections with the deviations of these quantities from the Standard Model predictions implied by the recent NuTeV measurement.

Q-Anomaly at HERA and Supersymmetry
We discuss the recently observed excess of high Q2 neutral current deep inelastic scattering events at HERA in the light of supersymmetry with broken R-parity. We find more than one possible solution. We consider the possibilities for testing these hypotheses at HERA, the TEVATRON and at LEP. One lepton-number violating operator can account for both the HERA data and the four-jet anomaly seen b...
متن کاملInduced on-shell supersymmetry in eikonal scattering.
Generically coupled neutral scalar bosons and chiral fermions are shown, in the eikonal kinematical limit, to be described by a reduced (free field) theory with N = 1 on-shell supersymmetry. Charged scalars and spinors turn out to be described in the eikonal limit by a reduced interacting theory with a modified and restricted on-shell N = 1 supersymmetry. Consequences of such a symmetry for the...
متن کاملProbing new physics with coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei
The possibility off measuring for the first time neutrino-nuclei coherent scattering has been recently discussed by several experimental collaborations. It is shown that such a measurement may be very sensitive to non-standard interactions of neutrinos with quarks and might set better constraints than those coming from future neutrino factory experiments. We also comment on other types of new p...
متن کاملCharged current universality problem and NuTeV anomaly: is SUSY to blame?
We compute the complete one-loop contributions to low-energy charged current weak interaction observables in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We obtain the constraints on the MSSM parameter space which arise when precision low-energy charged current (CC) data are analyzed in tandem with measurements of the muon anomaly. The data imply a pattern of mass splittings among first an...
متن کاملSupersymmetry, Local Horizontal Unification, and a Solution to the Flavor Puzzle
Supersymmetric gauge models with local horizontal symmetries are known to generate large flavor changing neutral current effects induced by supersymmetry breaking D–terms. We show how the presence of a U(1) gauge symmetry solves this problem. We then construct a realistic gauge model with SU(2)H ×U(1)H as the local horizontal symmetry and suggest that the U(1)H factor may be identified with the...
