A New Supersymmetric Framework For Fermion Masses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supersymmetric theories involving a spontaneously broken flavor symmetry can solve the flavor-changing problem while having quark and lep-ton masses derived from both F and D terms. As an example, a theory of leptons is constructed in which holomorphy constrains the electron to be massless at tree level. The electron flavor symmetries are broken by D terms, leading to flavor mixing in the slepton mass matrices, which allows a radiative electron mass to be generated by the gauge interactions of supersymmetric QED. Such a radiative origin for the electron mass can be probed by searches for τ → eγ, and could be verified or eliminated by measurements of slepton pair production.

Supersymmetric framework for a dynamical fermion mass hierarchy.
We propose a new framework for constructing supersymmetric theories of flavor, in which flavor symmetry breaking is triggered by the dynamical breakdown of supersymmetry at low energies. All mass scales in our scheme are generated from the supersymmetry breaking scale ΛSSB ≈ 107 GeV through radiative corrections. We assume a spontaneously broken flavor symmetry and the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanis...
متن کاملA New Ansatz for Quark and Lepton Mass Matrices *
A new ansatz for quark and lepton mass matrices is proposed in the context of supersymmetric grand unified theories. The 13 parameters describing fermion masses and mixings are determined in terms of only 6 free parameters, allowing 7 testable predictions. The values of Vus, Vcb, Vub, mu, md, ms, and mb are then predicted as a function of the 3 charged lepton masses, mc, mt, and tan β, the rati...
متن کاملRadiative Fermion Mass Hierarchy in a Non-supersymmetric Unified Theory
In non-supersymmetric grand unified models a “radiative fermion mass hierarchy” can be achieved in which the spectrum of quark and lepton masses is determined entirely by physics at the unification scale, with many relations following from the unified gauge symmetry, and with the masses of the lightest family arising from loops. A simple, realistic, and predictive model of this kind is presente...
متن کاملSupersymmetric theory of flavor with radiative fermion masses.
Supersymmetric theories involving a spontaneously broken avor symmetry can lead to fermion masses which vanish at tree level but are generated by radiative corrections. In the context of supersymmetric theories with minimal low energy eld content we discuss which fermion masses and mixings may be obtained radiatively, and nd that constraints from avor changing phenomenology imply that only the ...
متن کاملChargino and Neutralino Decays Revisited
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the decays of charginos and neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where the neutralino χ1 is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. We focus, in particular, on the three–body decays of the next–to–lightest neutralino and the lightest chargino into the lightest neutralino and fermion–antifermion pairs and include vector boson...
